What method do you use to survey your blog readers?

Dayne Dylan · 10-23-2009, 10:15 AM

I want to survey my blog readers using Survey Monkey. But I'm not sure which way to go about it.

Here are the three ways I was thinking...

1. In my autoresponder emails to subscribers. Maybe put it in a week after they subscribe? Or later?

2. Make one single blog post asking them to fill it out. But the bad thing about this is, it will be a one time shot. I would like to have it automated possibly so I can CONTINUE to gather data.

3. I could put a link to the survey in my sidebar on my blog.

What methods do you think would be best?

What has worked well for you?

Thanks!

I would use the first option, but probably use a couple weeks to a month. Give them time to get to know you and your posts.

Yeah, I think a few weeks would be ideal. That way it gives them time like you say. That is the method I'm leaning towards the most. Actually, I'm thinking about doing #1 AND #3. Not harm in it.
