An FAQ that makes someone laugh is a positive for your business<\/p><\/div>\n

Looking at options for some software, I viewed a few FAQ pages lately (FAQ being Frequently Asked Questions).<\/p>\n

Some FAQs are better than others, and some were great – informative and easy to understand.<\/p>\n

Long, dry answers make FAQs boring and hard to read. FAQ pages based on plain text are also boring, and hard to find relevant information.<\/p>\n

Good FAQs visually separate questions and easy to read.<\/p>\n

Using humour<\/h2>\n

An FAQ page is full of facts<\/a>, otherwise what’s the point of having it? But that doesn’t mean you have to make it all staid and boring.<\/p>\n

Here are some examples for amusing FAQs I have spotted:<\/p>\n

Q:<\/em> <\/span><\/strong>How do I invite someone?<\/p>\n

A:<\/span><\/strong> The basic invitations are simple SMS messages. Naturally, you have other options to bring your friends here. Try sending them a download link via any other messaging service: email, Facebook<\/a>, WhatsApp, an actual telegram \u2014 you name it.<\/p>\n

Q:<\/span> <\/strong>Will you have ads? Or sell my data? Or steal my beloved and enslave my children?<\/p>\n

A<\/span>:<\/span> <\/strong>No.<\/p>\n

Q:<\/span><\/strong> will these faqs ever end?<\/p>\n

A:<\/strong> <\/span>well it always has before!<\/p>\n

Q:<\/span><\/strong> You didn\u2019t answer my question. How come?<\/p>\n

A:<\/strong> <\/span>Probably because this FAQ was written by a marketing person. Please ask us your question using our contact us form.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A bit of humour and lightness makes the whole page easier to read. Thus, they’re more memorable, too, and every business wants to be remembered.<\/p>\n

How can you add some humour to your FAQ page?<\/strong><\/p>\n
