Why This Works

Fact or Fiction prompts tap into members' natural curiosity and love for myth-busting. By presenting statements that sound plausible, surprising, or controversial, you invite members to test their knowledge and share their perspectives. This format is interactive by nature, encouraging both newcomers and veterans to weigh in.

Engagement rises as members debate, guess, and discuss the accuracy of each claim. The anticipation of the reveal, or the opportunity to explain the truth, encourages repeated participation and longer dwell time. Plus, it positions your community as a trusted source for clarifying common misconceptions in affiliate marketing.
