Why This Works

Q&A posts that invite questions and provide thoughtful answers tap into one of the strongest drivers of community engagement: curiosity and the desire for support. When members see their questions valued and answered, they feel heard and are more likely to participate again, building a sense of belonging.

This format also leverages social proof, as members learn not just from official answers but from the shared experiences of others. Over time, consistently answering questions builds your community's reputation as a go-to resource for running advice, which attracts new members and keeps regulars engaged.
