On Manifold Markets, several important factors go into making a good question. These lead to more people betting on them and allowing a more accurate prediction to be formed!

 

Manifold also gives its creators 10 Mana for each unique trader that bets on your market!

 

What makes a good question?

• Clear resolution criteria. This is needed so users know how you are going to decide on what the correct answer is.
• Clear resolution date. This is sometimes slightly different from the closing date. We recommend leaving the market open up until you resolve it, but if it is different make sure you say what day you intend to resolve it in the description!
• Detailed description. Use the rich text editor to create an easy to read description. Include any context or background information that could be useful to people who are interested in learning more that are uneducated on the subject.
• Add it to a group. Groups are the primary way users filter for relevant markets. Also, consider making your own groups and inviting friends/interested communities to them from other sites!
• Bonus: Add a comment on your prediction and explain (with links and sources) supporting it.

 

Examples of markets you should emulate! 

• This complex market about the project I am working on.
• This simple market about Manifold's weekly active users.

 

Why not create a market while it is still fresh on your mind?

Thanks for reading!
