Promoting Your Survey - Update

We have updated the promoting your survey information to include the opportunuity that social media websites bring.

Social Media Sites

Social media sites are websites such as Digg, Twitter, Facebook and Youtube that operate in the ever expanding social media market space that at the time of writing had over fifty such offerings.

Some social media sites such as those previously mentioned are general in their target market, others like LinkedIn, MEETin.org and Ecademy are aimed squarely at the business and commercial world.

All social media sites provide a shop window for attracting participants to a survey and can be used effectively to target a particular group that matches the particular survey's target market.

As the number of social media sites increase, they can become very niche and for example if a survey was published that was on green issues and the survey's publisher wanted to target environmentalist they could use the social media site Care2 to promote the survey since Care2 is 'the global network for organizations and people who Care2 make a difference' aimed squarely at businesses that are keen to be proactive in going green.
