Doing a 35 question Survey

The survey is over my products, email newsletter, web seminars, and website. I have a transcript of my last web seminar formatted as a ebook and was going to give it to those who participate. Should I give a free ebook to participants? does that cloud the data? Should I simply put it up and give the participants nothing? How do you guys do survey's such as these?

    unfortunately no one helps for nothing... at least not all the time.

    The free ebook is good.

    Sometimes we give a free audio away at the end of our surveys, but then again, I haven't done one in about a year.

    Hi Sherman,

    You should definitely think about giving away a free eBook to attract participants to your survey. If there's nothing in it for the prospect, there's no reason he will answer 35 question, just for you.
    But the most important question is why do you need this survey?

    Does is it help you as a research for your next service or product? if so, make sure the free ebook is related and make sure you build your list (some people do actually forget this) while getting your answers.
    Do you already have a list and are you going to send them to this survey?

    A great way to make a survey appeal to your audience is to highlight why this survey will also benefit them.

    A couple of sites worth mentioning:

    limesurvey.org
    surveymonkey.com
    QuestionPro.com
    surveygizmo.com
    polldaddy.com
    listbuildingtoolkit.com/writing-customer-satisfaction-surveys-that-work

    Good luck!

    Thanks guys...I have a 2500 member list that I was going to send the link to. I was also going to put a link to it on the front page of my website...but didn't really expect many to come from there.

    Stupid me...I didn't think of the mp3. I think I may go with that...

    Alex...thanks for that list. I am currently using surveymonkey but will look into that limesurvey for future reference...

    My main purpose is to see what products my list wants to see me offer. specifically, I have two major products that I want to offer and I want to see if there is really much interest in them before putting forth effort...
