„If you don’t ask, you don’t get“
Stevie Wonder
Of course, it also annoys me when I keep getting emails begging me to take part in a survey. Or… it has annoyed me. For about three weeks now, I’ve also been trying my luck with a survey. It should be fresh, modern and young. Quick to answer and nevertheless in-depth.
No sooner said than done… and the battle for participants was on.
In the first few weeks,… nothing,… shared on Xing; friends and acquaintances involved, asked to share links,… only slowly and in dribs and drabs did the responses come. Too slowly,… taking too long,… I need a booster!
Well, then two sites came to my attention that I would like to share with you here. And for two reasons. Either you also want to do a survey…. or you like doing surveys and want to help the poor pigs 😉
FIRST PAGE:
The first page I would like to share with you is the one from SurveyCircle: SurveyCircle | Umfrageteilnehmer finden, Forschung unterstützen
Really cleverly done. The idea is a give and take. You help others and your survey moves up in the ranking and the „reward“ for participation increases, which makes it more attractive for participants. Really a cool concept, easy to understand, well explained and honest.
There is one thing I particularly like here. You get ready-made pictures sent to you by email which you can then use for social media platforms such as Xing, LinkedIn and Facebook. It really makes a difference and helps to attract participants. Here you can see an example:
I only have one „negative“ thing. There are few surveys in English,… I’m not sure yet how active the service is outside of Germany…. but it seems that most participants have little „desire“ for English surveys. But we will see and hopefully I am wrong 😉

SECOND PAGE:
Secondly, I would like to share the following page with you: Find Survey Participants Today | SurveySwap
Also a cleverly designed system. The system behind it is a little different. Here, active participation in other surveys does not improve the ranking, but earns points that other participants consume again when participating in their own survey. Also a very interesting system. There is also the possibility to buy these points. This makes it possible to buy participant points immediately for a previously defined number. My hope here is that the survey will generate returns more quickly. We will see. 🙂

Last but not least, I am not a survey professional. But maybe the links will help you a bit. Feel free to leave me a comment. Or, write me if you have any questions. I try to help you when I can. We can also share our experience.
Many greetings, Christian
