#TipTuesday #2 🎾 Boost Engagement: Tips for Increasing Comments on Your Tennis Posts

Okay, let’s get real for a second. Ever tried having a one-sided convo? Ever? Yeah, it’s awkward. Like when you ask someone how they’re doing and they just stare at you. Crickets. Anyway, social media should NOT be like that. Nah, it’s a two-way street, baby. So, what are we doing here? Oh, right, sparking engagement with a call to action. Let’s dive into this one—no life vest required.

🎾 Tip #2: Spark Engagement with a Call to Action

Oh boy, social media. It’s basically the introvert’s nightmare and extrovert’s paradise. But whatever, facts are facts—it’s not a monologue. Or at least, it shouldn’t be.

Ask a Simple, Fun Question:

Okay, story time! Remember when someone asked, "What’s the best tennis advice you’ve ever received?" It got me thinking, I panicked, and my brain froze. But then I was all, "Stay hydrated?"—classic cop-out.

Or how about this one—"Clay, grass, or hard court—what’s your pick?" And I’m like, "Is ‘all of the above’ an option?" Then there’s the age-old debate, "Pick one: Power serve or consistent rally?" Seriously, no clue. It’s like choosing between pizza and tacos. Impossible, man.

Encourage a Quick Action:

Okay, so here’s something wild. Post an emoji, they said. "Drop your favorite emoji if you love tennis," they said. And I’m over here, "Um, is there a pizza emoji that works for this?" Not exactly, but you get the gist. And then they wanna make it fun by saying, "Tag a doubles partner who owes you coffee!"—which, spoiler alert, is pretty much all of them.

Use Polls & This-or-That Challenges:

You’ve seen those polls, right? Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn—they’ve got them all over. Just screaming for you to click ‘em. Example poll question: “Which is worse, a windy day or a bad line call?" My vote? WIND. It takes your hat, your dignity, and sometimes your sanity.

💡 Try This Today:

Here’s an idea that even I might try (maybe?)—post one of those ‘This or That’ stories. Say, “One-hand or two-hand backhand?”… Yeah, like I could choose. Anyway, get people to vote. Who knows, you might start World War III in the comments.

And hey, once you’ve totally nailed the engagement thing, why not tag us or share a screenshot? Would be cool to see what sort of chaos you’ve stirred up.

Keep it up, tennis warriors. Keep your tennis community buzzing. Until next week, over and out.
