Problogger is worried about passive readers. I was too, so I asked all my readers to de-lurk. A lot of them did 
But problogger says de-lurking isn’t enough, your readers need to act and they must be called into action by you (okay, by me, but you get what I mean).
For his challenge today, he offers a solid list of ways to get readers to act, including asking them to donate to a charity, purchasing a product you support, writing a comment (de-lurking post covered that!), hiring you for services or even asking readers to visit someone elses blog.
So I had to think about it. I get once chance – one shot to get you to listen and ask for you to do something. But what is it that I want you to do? Well, I could use it selfishly and ask you to donate to my goal to get to BlogWorld 2009 (it’s that green widget below recommended blogs) or to ask that you send out a tweet, recommending my work to someone you know (or hiring me yourself). But I trust my readers and know that if you could help, you would be (or at least I want to believe that so I will!).
So, I decided to use my ‘ask for action’ in a way that would benefit someone else (hopefully a lot of someone elses).
Here is your call to action:
Post a link in your comment to a blog or twitter profile of someone that you respect and enjoy reading, but that doesn’t have a lot of traffic/recognition. Tell us a bit about them, and why they deserve us to visit them. Then, visit at least 1 other commenter’s recommended person.
Lights! Camera! ACTION!
