Tools for Running an Audience Survey
Manage episode 405788224 series 3334377
Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we’re talking about tools for running a listener survey. Survey software can actually be quite expensive. As we’re only looking to run something like this at most every six months, it doesn’t make much sense to spend a fortune on it. So if you’re looking to run a survey for free, then Google Forms is the best option I’ve come across. Yes, it looks a bit basic, but it more than does the trick. SurveyMonkey is a famous survey tool, whilst Typeform is really sophisticated. But, for the majority of podcasters, they’ll just be a bit too pricey for what we need. Be wary of WordPress plugin survey tools, too. They might be free to set up, but can sneakily end up holding your data hostage for a subscription fee. Once you’ve set your survey up, remember to use a tool like PrettyLinks to create an easy link for it, too. That’s what we’ve done for our own survey, which you can find at [thepodcasthost.com/psp](http://thepodcasthost.com/psp)
