How to add live chat widget to your blogspot blog

Live chat system helps you interact with your visitors one on one. Interacting with your visitors and providing immediate answers to the questions they ask keeps them coming back to your blog, thus, improving your traffic.

To add live chat widget to your blog, follow the guide below:

Step One: First, sign up at Mylivechat. Check your email and verify your account via the link sent in the email.

Step Two: Login to your Dashboard 


Step Three: Click on Deployment tab (located at the left menu options), then select Embedded Chat. 



Step Four: Copy all the code from the box shown in the screenshot above.

Step Five: Login to your blogger Dashboard > Templates > Edit HTML

Step Six: Search for </body> and add the code you copied before the </body> tag

Should then look like this...

<!--Add the following script at the bottom of the web page (immediately before the </body> tag)-->
<script type="text/javascript" async="async" defer="defer" data-cfasync="false" src="https://mylivechat.com/chatinline.aspx?hccid=xxxxxxxx"></script>
</body>

Note: XXXXXXX is your live chat ID.

Step 7: Save and exit.

Visit the downloads page to download the Windows, Android or iOS client. The web console does everything pretty cool though. Its your call!

Now launch your blog. The live chat widget should be floated at the bottom-left of all your blog pages. See example below


This is pretty easy to do. But if do not have basic understanding of HTML, please backup your template first. Just in case you mess things up.

Two awesome websites that provide free live chat services

Adding a live chat functionality to your blog will go a long way in sustaining your blog readers. Some visitors find it difficult using the comment system, unless they have a choking problem. Besides, what if your blog visitor has some other question that is entirely not related to your blog post, or a suggestion, and needs your immediate response? 

Also, live chat system helps to turn your website visitors into customers. On their initial visit to your blog, they're your visitors. If they happen to engage in a fruitful conversation with you, they'll always return to your blog for something. They become your customers.

Lets get to know these sites already... ;)

• Mylivechat : This is actually the one I so much love and its currently in use on this blog. It has a Windows, Android and iOS app from which you can chat with your visitors/clients without stress. It also has a web console. Above all, it is absolutely free! But there is an option to upgrade to a professional version which has some extra cool features compared to the free version. But the free version rocks!

• Tawk.to: Tawk is a free online messaging app that lets you monitor and chat with visitors on your website or from a free customizable page. Tawk is just awesome, you have to be logged in to your dashboard on their website in order to display your online status on your blog widget. It also has Windows, iOS and Android applications, and the web console. It does have cool features!
