Free poll and online survey software can help you or your company get the most out of Twitter. There is no better way to know what people want than to simply ask them. Most free software for creating a poll or survey will require you to register. You have to decide if a poll where your followers are offered several choices to a question or a survey where more in depth answers are permitted. Polls are fun and ost people will take the time to check off a box. Surveys require participants spend more time answering the question so a survey should have some benefit to the person taking the survey such as presenting them with more in depth coverage of what is important to the survey-taker.
Typically free online survey software lets you customize the poll or survey although free versions often require people to know a few coding basics. Paid versions usually offer WYSWYG editing features. When you’re done, you simply insert the generated code and if you’re putting your survey on Twitter, you’ll be given a link to use.
Engaging your followers is never easy. If you can find free online survey software that helps make your site, tweets, or blog more sticky, use it. Consider it like analytics, except in people’s own words in the case of surveys. Don’t forget to actually use the data you’ve collected since people so generously took the time to answer your questions.
