\nThere is a value in creating engagement with members of your social network.<\/p>\n

Why is it important to create engagement? It’s just like meeting people in person. You will learn a lot more if you talk instead of just staring at each other.<\/p>\n

There is an art in having conversations offline. And there is an art in having conversations online.<\/p>\n

You can have conversations in Facebook Groups, on Facebook Pages and on your personal Facebook Wall.<\/p>\n

My personal favorite way to have conversations is on my wall. I have an intention of creating conversations.<\/p>\n

One of the best ways to stimulate conversations is through the use of questions.<\/p>\n

Here are 4 Types of Questions you can Ask on Facebook:<\/h1>\n

1. Yes\/No Questions<\/h2>\n

When asking questions, think about your audience and what they will respond to. You will learn by experimenting.<\/p>\n

And remember that you need to train your audience to respond to you.<\/p>\n

Yes\/no questions are easy to ask.<\/p>\n

Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you like chocolate ice cream?<\/p>\n

Do you have a website?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

2. Either\/Or Questions<\/h2>\n

One of the keys to asking a good question is to make it quick and easy for people to respond.<\/p>\n

Another great technique is the either\/or question.<\/p>\n

Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chocolate or Vanilla?<\/p>\n

Apple or Orange?<\/p>\n

East Coast or West Coast?<\/p>\n

Mac or PC?<\/p>\n

3. Would You Rather Questions<\/h2>\n

Questions can be fun to answer. Some of your questions may fall flat and get no response. Other questions may spark a vigorous debate.<\/p>\n

In general, discussion is good except where people begin to bicker and attack each other. You are responsible for making sure people play nice on your page.<\/p>\n

“Would you Rather” questions can start some great conversations.<\/p>\n

Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Would you rather skydive or fly on a hot air balloon?<\/p>\n

Would you rather be 3 inches taller or 3 years younger?<\/p>\n

4. Open ended questions <\/h2>\n

It’s okay to ask questions from time to time that require a little more thought. You can craft questions that really get people thinking.<\/p>\n

Open-ended questions give you a lot of flexibility.<\/p>\n

You can ask questions that speak to people’s preferences or you can ask questions that are hypothetical and abstract.<\/p>\n

Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is your favorite vacation spot?<\/p>\n

Would you like to live in a world where there were no nuclear weapons?<\/p>\n

Ask Away<\/h1>\n

These are just a few examples of the types of questions you can ask.<\/p>\n

The biggest challenge In asking questions is simply coming up with questions to ask.<\/p>\n

So, what do you say? Are you willing to give it a shot?<\/p>\n

PLEASE COMMENT BELOW:<\/h1>\n

Come up with a question and post it below!<\/p>\n
