Comments show that people care enough to type. Here is how to get more of them, for free.
Write captions that invite replies
- Ask a specific question
- Offer two options: “A or B?”
- Ask for experiences: “What’s your go-to monsoon snack?”
- Leave something unfinished: “The best tip is in the comments 👇”
Post content worth discussing
Opinions, comparisons, myths, relatable struggles and “rate this” content get more comments than plain photos.
