3 Ways to Get More Comments On Your Socials

😬 Real talk:

If your current comment strategy is just “What’s your favourite?!” under every post…

👉 You’re making it way harder than it needs to be.

There’s nothing wrong with simple engagement - but there are better, fresher ways to get people talking (and genuinely want to reply).

Here are 3 quick wins you can use today - without sounding like a robot or a quizmaster.

✅ 1. Ask for Opinions (Not Just Likes)

Instead of asking for their “favourite”, ask for a tiny decision.

Example (local bookstore):

“Two new releases just dropped. Are you Team Romance or Team Thriller this month? 📚👇”

Why it works:
People love sharing their opinions when it feels casual and low-pressure.

✅ 2. Use a Quick "This or That" Format

Make it ridiculously easy to reply.

Example (local bookstore):

“Morning reads 📖 or late-night page-turners 🌙 - which one are you?”

Bonus tip:
Pair it with an eye-catching graphic or GIF for extra swipe-stopping power.

✅ 3. Invite Micro-Stories

People love to tell short stories about themselves.

Example (local bookstore):

“What’s a book you stayed up way too late reading? Tell me - no judgment! 👀”

This invites comments that are more meaningful than a one-word answer - and boosts your algorithm signals.

🎯 Why These Work:

• They feel natural, like talking to a friend

• They spark mini conversations (not just clicks)

• They make commenting fun, not a chore
