Why This Works

This or That content works because it removes barriers to participation. By presenting two clear, relatable options, you lower the effort required for members to jump in and share their preferences. The simplicity of choice is appealing, especially in busy online communities where members may hesitate to engage with more complex prompts.

For content creators, these questions tap into personal style, workflow, and creative habits, allowing everyone to relate. The casual tone encourages authenticity, helping members discover common ground or friendly differences. This type of interaction builds relationships, increases post visibility, and keeps your community feeling welcoming and lively.

How to Use These Templates

To use these templates, simply copy and paste your chosen prompt into your community post. Consider posting at peak times for your audience and adjust the frequency based on engagement levels. Check the comments and reply to keep the energy going. You can also add a fun emoji or image to make the post stand out, or use them as icebreakers in live chats and virtual meetups.

Best Practices

  • Keep topics light and positive to encourage wide participation.
  • Rotate between themes like tools, content formats, and creative habits.
  • Respond to answers to deepen conversations and show appreciation.
  • Use visuals or polls for added variety and visibility.
  • Avoid polarizing or overly technical topics to keep it inclusive.

All Platforms Tips

On all platforms, keep the prompt concise and visually clear. Use line breaks or emojis to separate options. On chat platforms, pin the post for easy access. For social feeds, add a relevant hashtag or image to boost reach. Encourage reactions, not just comments, to lower the barrier for participation.
