How do I Post a Question on Facebook

Why would I want to Post a Facebook 'Question'?

Facebook questions are great for both personal and business use. Maybe you want feedback on people's favourite bands to book gig tickets. Or perhaps you want to know what your friends are reading to give you an idea for the next book to read.

Perhaps you own a product based business and want to do market research on what products to order next. You may want to find out what price people are prepared to pay for a product or service. You may even want feedback on the way you run your business, for example, do they prefer to shop online or in a physical shop.

When you find out what you need to know from your Facebook friends or fans, make sure you act on it!

How to Post a Question on Facebook

To post a question on Facebook, you need to be using Facebook as a page.  On the status bar, click where it says event/question/offers.  Click on the 'Question' option on the status bar (it is on the top right hand side of the status bar on your wall). Then you can add your question to the status bar and add options that people can vote for by clicking the option bars below the question (you will see a plus sign).

Decide whether you would like people to be able to add their own options, or just pick one and comment.  If you don't want people adding too many of their own options, it is a good idea to add a final option that says 'other (please comment below)'.

How to promote a Question on Facebook and Increase Interaction


Once you have posted your question on Facebook, there are several ways to increase interaction on the post. After posting the question as a page, you can then share it as a person. First you need to go to the top right hand arrow and change to 'use Facebook as YOU'

Then, from your personal profile, you can go to the Question on your page and vote yourself. You can share by clicking the share button at the bottom right of the post. You can also click on the Question and ask friends. If you really want to promote your question, you can pay Facebook to promote the post. The price will be dependant on how many people to target. It can be as little as £1.50.
