This technique got me 100+ responses in 2 minutes, and surfaced real insight from my community.
In a creative community I manage, Iād been testing ways to start deeper discussions.
After trial and error, this is what actually worked:
- A simple āthis or thatā poll.
- Two choices, Framed like a game.
- Rooted in something real my audience was feeling.
āBurnout from Overworking or Guilt from Resting?ā
That one question tapped into my audience, because it aligned with their fears and frustrations.
Within minutes:
ā
Over 100 people voted
ā
Dozens dropped paragraphs of personal stories
ā
A full-blown, supportive conversation kicked off
It gave me genuine insight into what theyāre dealing with, and now Iām using that data to plan an event around the most common struggles.
Did I get Engagement? Yes.
But also: real connection.
And a clear signal of what to build next.
If youāre in a phase where nothingās really landing, try this:
Make it low-stakes.
Tap into emotion.
Then turn that into something meaningful.
