Tweet: One of the best ways to stimulate online conversations is through the use of questions. https:\/\/ctt.ec\/2HwoG+ via @RickCooper<\/a><\/p>\nExamples:<\/strong><\/p>\nDo you like chocolate ice cream?<\/p>\n
Do you have a website?<\/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>\nChocolate 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>\nWould 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>\nWhat 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
