Motivating the masses to respond to digital communications is simply not possible.
It's not possible because people are designed to respond to what interest them instead of respond on demand. I personally read dozens of post in the SFI Forums every day and respond to 3-5 post because I simply can't add anything that hasn't already been said to the conversation.
Still there are ways to get your readers interested in responding back.
1. Challenge them: Give them task with a reward at the end of the tunnel that they have to respond back to you to claim.
2. Mention them: When a team member does something great add them to your team mail for the week, they do something good add them to your stream or use the recognition tab in the forum.
3. Question them: Look at our almost hidden survey near the bottom left of the page where thousands of affiliates respond to the questions. Look at the popularity of Knock out Trivia, and Gold Streak. Watch how many respond when questions are asked in the forum. People love to be asked their opinion and get affirmation of their knowledge.
4. Gift them: Give them a free report or ebook and track the link to see how many in your list take up your offer. You will be surprised that more people will respond with action than words.
5. Blog or offer an off site newsletter: I get more response from my private responder than I do the Team Mail and farm more action to my blog post linked from team mail. The fact is people are paying attention even if they don't say anything back to you.
These 5 tips will get you measurable results so your mind can be at ease, but don't expect more than 4% of your downline to take action, this is the same for any contact list but keep in mind that of the 4% who are paying attention and taking action eventually 5-15% of them will become active and join your efforts statistically.
