When I send an email, or do a blog post for that matter, I want and expect your feedback. Why? Because your opinion counts! And it helps me decide what each topic should be about. New? More? Explain? Forget that noise!
There is another reason, one that is very important to me. I know many of you would like to write your own blog(s) [yeah, some of us have a lot to say and we need more blogs to carry on the chatter.].
This section on Blog Writing will cover a lot of territory by the very way it is written and the topics chosen. Spot something, you like in that regard, that may be important to you, then there is another reason for feedback.
This issue is more about autoresponder emails and the total lack of feedback. In other words, give your sponsor a break! It might be you one day with this complaint.
Here are three very important reasons you, dear reader, or your readers, may choose NOT to respond to an email
✅ Why Readers Might Not Respond — And What You Can Do
📬 1. Clarity & Overwhelm
- If the email is too long, confusing, or packed with multiple requests, the reader may feel overwhelmed and avoid replying.
- People often skim emails; if the main point isn’t clear within the first few lines, the message risks being ignored.
- Action Step: Put your main point in the first two sentences. Use short paragraphs and one clear request.
🕒 2. Timing & Priorities
- The reader may be busy, distracted, or simply not see the email at the right moment.
- Emails that arrive during peak work hours or at the end of the day can get buried under newer messages, even if the reader intended to respond later.
- Action Step: Send at thoughtful times (e.g., mid‑morning or mid‑afternoon). If it’s urgent, politely follow up after a few days.
3. Perceived Relevance
- If the email doesn’t feel personally relevant or valuable, the reader may not prioritize responding.
- Generic or impersonal emails often fail to spark engagement, while messages that connect emotionally or directly address the reader’s needs are far more likely to get a reply.
- Action Step: Personalize your message. Mention something specific about the reader’s needs, interests, or past interactions.
These are three top reasons you or your readers may not respond. Can you see some of your reasons in this list? Got your heckles up with some of them?

Nicely explained Frans.
Recently I started receiving messages in what’s app from my friend saying that he has posted an article on a his blog.
I saw he used wordpress to publish. everytime any reader wants to read it he needs to click the link that opened wordpress. and to reply one has has to enter email ID and name and website which is optional.
On each of his posts only less than five replies were there
the reason might be the reader may not want to fill up a form while replying
Now I observed he is posting the blog content on his Facebook wall. . It appears instantly if you are subscribed to notification . It was easy for me too to go through the content whenever I want as I have subscribed to notification. responding is easy too.
I agree when we are the selected ones by the writer to be invited for reading his/ her content the writer expects some feedback for improvement and analysis as well.
By the way one of the benefits to the reader who responds to a blog post is that a personal or business website link can be provided there. May be some reader while reading the responses come across your reply and might be interested to visit your website This is a good opportunity to receive organic traffic.
That would probably be a captcha. It is here to protect the owner from
spammers,people that would do him harm, intentionally or otherwise.
Those who fill them in, understand the need for security. It also tells
the person they who reply are serious, credible and safe. It also
suggests they stand behind their comments.
I removed mine and it is only for a test. Most captchas do not work
long term and they are infamous for preventing you from commenting. My
site is well protected by my security.
No doubt someone could break it but to date, I have 480 who have tried
and never made a post. Amazing huh, those are stats I plan on delving
much deeper into.
As for posting on social media, your intent best be to reach out to find
and engage like-minded followers. Five replies on average for all their
posts tells me they need to look again at what they are doing. Their
success ratio is way at the bottom of a very deep rabbit hole.
I wish them luck, because they are at least trying.
Question. How many successful bloggers have you seen flooding social media with posts
To better days…
