I'm curious to learn from the various contributors and readers of the forum what sorts of things prevent you from answering a question that is posed on the forum?
It seems to me that the idea of posing a question is the perfect example of 'marketing'. You want someone to take action based on your 'pitch' to them.
In this instance the 'pitch' is a request for someone to take action that helps you and we start off with a headline called a question and in that question hope to make a sale (get an answer).
For me a few things that might prevent me from moving beyond the headline:
1. The headline itself (the question) is poorly worded or not clear.
2. I've seen the same headline hundreds of times before and so have less interest in trotting out the same answer
3. There is NO email address or contact details of the question answerer - how can I develop a relationship when the person asking the question wants to be so impersonal?
4. Lack of time/lack of points/other incentives etc
There you go, I've listed a few and you might also agree with them and have additional ones. So please consider and advise me, what sort of things prevent the question sale from being acted upon by the answering buyer?
