We are always so focused on increasing the number of likes and follows Online that we forget to focus on creating conversation and engaging with others.

Unfortunately many people get so frustrated with this so if this sounds like you, you’re not alone.

One great way to increase interaction on Facebook is to post polls. Simple polls allowing people to add their own response, and comment. Why a poll? With polls you can invite your personal connections to partake in them without appearing promotional, as long as your questions aren’t promotional, that is.

Polls are a great way to increase the “People talking about” numbers which in return makes the page appear to have great engagement. Now I know it seems like we are just putting a mask over the real issue, but over time the engagement from polls will actually begin to generate engagement on regular posts. 1 “post like” at a time and you’ll begin to see the value in Facebook polls.

A Few Tips

• * Make sure the questions you ask will interest the people you plan to invite to answer.
• * Definitely ask your personal friends to partake by “Asking Friends”
• * We do not suggest flooding your connections with constant polls. Once a week or every other is perfect.
• * Ask questions pertaining to current events and viral news.
