ENGAGEMENT STRATEGIES
Maximizing Engagement with Polls and Questions

First things first: polls are an easy way to spark immediate interaction. People love to share their opinions, and polls give them a simple, low-effort way to participate. Whether youā€™re asking a fun question, seeking feedback on your content, or running a quick survey, polls get your audience to engage with a single tap. Plus, the results are visible in real-time, encouraging even more participation from your followers.

But polls are just the beginning. Questions are another powerful feature that drives direct conversations. Use the "Ask Me a Question" sticker to get your audience talking. This is a great way to gather content ideas, ask for feedback, or even answer burning questions your followers might have about you or your niche. When you respond to these questions, you not only provide value but also create a sense of community by showing that you care about your audienceā€™s input.

One of the best ways to leverage these features is by making your polls and questions relevant to your content. If youā€™re a fitness creator, for example, ask your audience about their workout preferences or their biggest fitness struggles. If youā€™re a food blogger, run polls about their favorite cuisines or recipes. This makes your followers feel involved and more connected to your brand, and it shows that youā€™re listening to them.
