Social Media / Engagement Strategies
Write posts designed to drive comments (polls, questions, “this or that”).
Why This Prompt Exists
Most posts don’t ask questions — so they don’t get comments.
You get:
- posts that inform but don’t engage
- low comment counts (algorithm penalty)
- no community conversation
- missed opportunities to learn from audience
- posts that die quickly in the feed
But engagement is not automatic.
It is prompted by easy-to-answer questions.
- Yes/no questions: easiest to answer
- “This or that” questions: binary choice
- Fill in the blank: low effort
- Personal experience: relatable
- Opinion: sparks discussion
Without questions, your post won’t get comments.
This framework forces AI to write posts designed for engagement.
