but not too often
When you want to get more ideas around one
topic
When you want others to see that specific post
and to motivate and direct the respondents to
build on it
To give an example of how you want this to be
answered – shift gears if needed

18. Question yourself!
 Would I be prepared to do what I’m asking my
participants to do?
 Could my mum understand and respond to the
questions, activities and discussions that I am setting?
 Have I avoided technical jargon and used plain English?
 Have I made it clear when I want them to discuss, and
when I just want them to share a picture?
 Have I given my participants enough time to do what I
want them to do?
 Am I valuing my participants time and would I accept the
same reward if it were me?
 Am I ready and prepared to get to know my participants
personally?
