Hi there everyone,
Over the years I've used quite a few different survey tools - some of them free and some of them subscription-based.
In the last 12 months I have switched most of my focus to doing online surveys using Google Docs.
Why? A Google Docs survey provides more than just a simple way of creating surveys and gathering results. It's the whole power of the integrated platform that is suddenly at your fingertips.
This training tutorial focuses on:
Follow along and you could have a google docs survey in almost as much time (assuming of course you have a Google Docs enabled account).
A couple of further points:
Needless to say, we are just scratching the surface of how you can leverage the power of the Google platform if you start to use forms. Even with what is shown just here, as someone building an online business, I am sure you can think up of many ways a Google Docs survey could help you. Perhaps you can share some of those ideas here as well!
If there is enough demand, I'll put some of the more advanced features in the Premium area.
Good luck in your endeavors ... and don't be afraid to reach out and ask your question.
