Pick a template that aligns with your community's vibe and the level of openness you want to encourage. Post it as a standalone thread or as part of a recurring series. Encourage responses by sharing your own Day in the Life first or tagging a few members to kick things off. You can also use these prompts in Stories, group chats, or as part of member spotlights for added versatility.
Since these templates work on all platforms, tailor the format to fit each space. On forums or Slack, use as thread starters. On Instagram, try Stories or carousel posts. For Discord, pin a prompt in a creative channel or use scheduled messages. Always keep visuals and text short for platforms with rapid feeds.
