This makes LinkedIn polls effective for business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider these LinkedIn poll best practices that are based on the funnel:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Post a poll on a relevant topic, and consider including a link in the post to an article that addresses the problem or elaborates on the topic. This link could lead to a blog article or a white paper. For instance, if your poll post is about office cultures, the link could direct users to an article discussing the trend of treating days off as &#8220;healthies&#8221; instead of &#8220;sickies&#8221; in the workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"582\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/collage1-1024x582.jpg\" alt=\"LinkedIn Polls for Lead Generation - screenshot of a post leading to an article\" class=\"wp-image-11745\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/collage1-1024x582.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/collage1-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/collage1-768x436.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/collage1.jpg 1220w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>In the example, a poll promotes a blog article that can further lead to your services.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Some funnels lead to giveaways.

So, you can transform the main ideas into a text summary and put a link to it in the post along with a link to the audio podcast. Add a poll about which content format best suits your audience, and you can add a humorous answer choice indicating people have no time for any format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Digital-marketing-poll-questions-for-LinkedIn\"><\/span>Digital marketing poll questions for LinkedIn<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Idea-1-%E2%80%93-Consider-using-a-poll-to-gather-participants-for-your-event\"><\/span>Idea #1 &#8211; Consider using a poll to gather participants for your event<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"531\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/poll-post-example-digital-marketing-531x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"LinkedIn Polls for Lead Generation - screenshot of a post leading to a live event\" class=\"wp-image-11727\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/poll-post-example-digital-marketing-531x1024.jpeg 531w, https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/poll-post-example-digital-marketing-156x300.jpeg 156w, https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/poll-post-example-digital-marketing.jpeg 728w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 531px) 100vw, 531px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>In the example, a post with a poll serves as a warm-up for a live event.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating a poll within your network allows you to gauge potential attendance.

For example, you can include the structured text of the post to specify the problem, the question itself that should resonate with your target audience, and a link to an external platform where you offer free but valuable content in exchange for contact information. This engagement model can be more effective than direct or generic forms because initially, the person doesn&#8217;t perceive you as a seller but rather wants to share their opinion and also receive a useful resource if they find one that suits them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"634\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/business-boosting-poll-linkedin-634x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"LinkedIn Polls for Lead Generation - screenshot of a post leading to downloadable materials\" class=\"wp-image-11734\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/business-boosting-poll-linkedin-634x1024.jpeg 634w, https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/business-boosting-poll-linkedin-186x300.jpeg 186w, https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/business-boosting-poll-linkedin-768x1240.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/business-boosting-poll-linkedin.jpeg 909w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 634px) 100vw, 634px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>In the example, you see a poll leading to a source with templates and cheat sheets.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Idea-2-%E2%80%93-Quiz-for-audience-engagement\"><\/span>Idea #2 &#8211; Quiz for audience engagement<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"858\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/linkedin-poll-example-858x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"LinkedIn Polls for Lead Generation - screenshot of a post leading to watching a video\" class=\"wp-image-11736\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/linkedin-poll-example-858x1024.jpeg 858w, https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/linkedin-poll-example-251x300.jpeg 251w, https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/linkedin-poll-example-768x917.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.linkedhelper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/linkedin-poll-example.jpeg 908w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 858px) 100vw, 858px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em> In the example, you see a poll engaging viewers to watch an educational video.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, to help your audience better absorb your content, you can create a quiz.
