Introduction
Any kind of interaction that users have with your created content can be referred to as content engagement. To understand your audience better, you need to know exactly how your content is perceived by them. Merely creating good content is never sufficient. What your content needs is to resonate deeply with your audience so that they engage with it, share it with friends, and ideally leave their email address so they can come back for more.
Riddle.com’s reaction polls
Add the reaction poll, which comes in the form of a slider, to every one of your articles. You can then ask your readers if your content piece changed their opinion or how they feel about the topic you covered. Voting is quick, easy, and visually appealing – with up to 40% of people participating.
You can either leave it at that or ask for further information with different form blocks. You might want to find out how old your audience is, what gender they are, or where they live, for example. All this data can be made compulsory or optional for your audience.
The benefits are twofold. Whilst you gather demographic data for improving and adapting future content, your audience engages actively with your site. This sense of connection to your topic and your company is elevated, leading to much higher share rates among their friends and other social circles.
