If you have a Facebook group, Facebook page, Instagram account, or any other social media type, you will want to ensure you are building relationships and earning trust. One way to do this is by asking for opinions or asking your ideal clients to answer some questions.
Keep reading to get some Social Media questions to increase engagement in your groups and pages.
Are you asking the right questions?
Social Media questions can be fun but need to fit your audience. Avoiding topics that create extreme conflict or segregate your audience may be something you need to consider. For example, I don’t post about political or religious things in any of my groups or on my pages.
Your ideal client needs to be considered and you should try to post social media questions that somehow relate back to your products or services. Even something as basic as your favorite color can be used for this purpose.
For example, If I answered this question with “blue,” you could reply and say have you tried our blue spoon useful in the kitchen?
Use a Scheduling Tool
Using a scheduling tool ensures your social media questions are posted consistently. Consistency is key to keeping and building new relationships. Scheduling tools make this process easier.
You can batch your content and create your posts ahead of time. Then use the tool to post at the appropriate time and bam – engagement posts are done.
If you need some advice on the types of tools you could use check out this article on some of my favorite scheduling tools.
Use Fun and Engaging Images
Your images matter! You can’t post a social media question and then leave it blank or have a bland-looking image to go with it. More people engage with either videos, gifs, or images. Make sure you are including something; if you are really struggling, post a gif.
Creating images can be time-consuming, but using templates or Canva font effects can help. You can even resize your images fast and easily on Canva, but other programs like PicMonkey can do these things too.
