 Add a greeting

• A greeting helps warm your fellow members up to be ready for your question. A simple "Hi, everyone" can go a long way to getting more responses.

Make it personal

• Don't just ask a question. Instead, tell your story/reason for asking the question. People are more likely to respond when they have context and a way to relate to you and your story.

Explain what you know or don't know

• This helps others help you better. If you explain what you've already tried, others won't spend time suggesting it to you. Instead, they'll get right to the point of your question. It's also a way to make the post more personal and thus more likely to get a response.

Promote peer interaction

• Be sure to ask for replies about what other members think or what their experiences with the topic have been. Also, mention other members that may have had similar experiences to get their take on things and to get their attention on your post. 

Be responsive

• If a fellow member responds to your post, be sure to respond within two business days to keep the conversation going. Even a simple "Thank you for your response" will show them that you're listening.
