If you want to make that users spend some time on your website, create a poll or a quiz. It won't take you a lot of effort. But is it really that simple? Yes and no. Everyone and anyone is tempted to click on a quiz or answer a poll, as long as the topic is interesting enough and it is presented in an engaging manner.

You have only a couple of seconds to get a user’s attention, before they move on to the next shiny bauble. So visual posts are your best shot of attracting attention in such a way that users stick around for a few minutes. Invest in professional photos and videos, smart infographics and strong brand representative graphics. Your posts will gain loads of popularity before you know it!

By organizing contests and giveaways you can easily increase the popularity of your brand and you can encourage social media users to promote your business without too much effort. You just have to get creative about it. Establish a few simple rules for successful participation and have an attractive prize. It works like a charm. An example of a fun contest would be to make the best logo for a fictitious brand, or something similar.
