Writer Survey Results

Thanks for all of the hard work! Interesting that Facebook rated so well, twitter didn’t, but Facebook Spam was a negative too.

A little while back I asked a bunch of questions and I finally compiled everything. I really enjoyed learning more about what people want and how they want to be catered to. Rather insightful and interesting.

UPDATE:

Just so you know who was asked? 

– 50 people
– A mixture of authors/bloggers/readers. 

I am not a professional researcher. I wish this was my day job. I did this out of the goodness of my heart to help people.

Enjoy!

  1. Interesting how Facebook was the top ‘Must use social media’ and ‘What marketing turns you off’. Maybe it was the word spam? But if Facebook is the one that works the most then how can you not spam?

    Very informative post!

  2. Yes, I faced the same issue. The ‘joy’ of surveys is the frustration when the survey raises additional questions.
    I suppose they’re pointing out the difference between organic growth (being shared by friends and friends of friends) and advertising. Sort of puts me in a dilemma as I’m about to give away some copies of my book as a reward for sharing the post. I was thinking of using some advertising as well. Maybe I’ll run two competitions? See what the feedback is from both?
