Prompt

Provide [number] creative poll or quiz ideas for social media Stories (Instagram/Facebook) related to [topic or theme]. Each idea should include a question and two or more answer options, crafted to be fun and engaging for my audience.

How to Use

1. Define Your Inputs: Decide on the topic or theme for your polls/quizzes and the platform if relevant. For example, you might want Story ideas about “healthy cooking” or “startup business tips.” Also choose how many ideas you need (e.g., 3 ideas for this week’s stories). Consider your audience’s interests so the polls or quiz questions will resonate.

2. Customize the Prompt: Fill in the placeholders. E.g., “Provide 3 creative poll or quiz ideas for Instagram Stories related to healthy eating. Each idea should include a question and answer options that are fun and engaging for my followers.” If you know you want a poll (two-option question) or a quiz (multiple-choice with one correct answer), you can specify that. For instance, “provide 2 poll ideas and 2 quiz ideas about X.” This guides the AI on the format.

3. Optional Add-ons: Include any platform-specific guidelines. Instagram Poll stickers only allow two options, so for polls keep it either/or; the Quiz sticker allows up to four options (with one correct answer if you choose to set one). You might say “ensure the questions are short (few words) so they fit in a Story sticker” or “use informal, emoji-friendly language.” You can also request a mix of content, e.g., “include one light-hearted poll (just for fun) and one informative quiz question to educate viewers.” If you want to leverage trends, mention “tie one question to a current trend or meme in [your topic].”

4. Run the Prompt: Run the prompt in your AI tool. It should return a list of story poll/quiz ideas. For each idea, you’ll get a question and some options. For example, a poll idea might be: “Q: Do you prefer morning or evening workouts? Options: Morning bird / Night owl.” A quiz idea might be: “Q: How much water should you drink daily? Options: 2 liters; 5 liters; 8 liters (correct); 12 liters.” The AI might label correct answers if it assumes a quiz – you can clarify in the prompt if you want correct answers indicated or if it’s just for engagement.

5. Review & Select: Look at the ideas and refine if necessary. Are the questions appealing and easy to read quickly? For Instagram especially, brevity and clarity are key – Story content is ephemeral and viewers tap through fast. Make sure any multiple-choice options are short (a word or two) due to space constraints on the sticker. If an idea isn’t a good fit, you can discard it or ask the AI to generate another. Also, ensure the content suits the platform’s etiquette (e.g., Facebook audience might prefer slightly more straightforward wording, while Instagram can be more playful). Using interactive stickers like polls and quizzes is a great way to boost engagement – in fact, Stories that use poll or quiz stickers are among the most popular formats on IG.

6. Expected Outcome: You’ll get a handy list of poll/quiz concepts tailored to your topic and audience. Each idea comes with a ready-to-use question and options, which you can post directly to Instagram or Facebook Stories. By using these interactive Story ideas, you should spark quick responses from your followers (taps and votes), increase your Story views, and learn more about your audience’s preferences in a fun way. Plus, because these ideas are customized to your niche, they’ll feel relevant and engaging to your community, encouraging participation.
