The power of interactive content cannot be denied. With interactive content, readers feel that they are part of something and feel involved.

The best way to make the content interactive is by beginning the content by asking the viewers a few questions that they can relate to. However, make sure that the questions are in some way or the other related to the whole content itself.

The other thing that you can do to make the content even more interactive is include assessments like quizzes or polls.

The questions could be anything from fun to serious ones. With these quizzes and polls, you can easily get people’s views and opinions regarding the content and your site on a whole.

You could also think about including infographics. These are designed so as to deliver a huge deal of information in a small package to the readers.
