But when you can get to do it often, you start gaining massive respect for your views. Whats more interesting is that it gets more people engaging with you.
Dont be afraid to be controversial. If you can back up your statement with solid facts and figure by all means fire it.

Yes. People have the tendency to want to answer questions. I get lots of engagement directly to my target audience. When my target audience engage, this drives more engagement and rest of the connects get to see my content and engage and boom.
Ask questions that prompts someone to jump in and answer. Keep it real, practical and simple. That's the key.
