Quick Survey

February 10, 2008 · Comments

A friend and reader wanted to know who actually came here, and how many of you were perhaps college-aged readers. I told her that I had no idea who came here, except for who actually commented or not. To that end, I came up with a quick 6 question survey (5 if you don’t want to write something about the site), and I’m hoping you’ll take it:

**UPDATE: Guess there’s a 100 person limit on the free one. Survey closed itself. Sorry.***

Don’t worry. I’m not looking to build maniacal demographic data farms based on who you are. I just want to be able to answer her question, plus a few nagging questions of my own.

It’d mean a lot to me if you’d pop over and answer these questions. Thank you!

ChrisBrogan.com runs on the Thesis Theme for WordPress

Thesis WordPress theme

Thesis is the search engine optimized WordPress theme of choice for serious online publishers. If you’re a blogger who doesn’t understand a lot of PHP, Thesis will give a ton of functionality without having to alter any code. For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via Thesis hooks.

With so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site. The theme is robust and flexible enough not only to accommodate a site like ChrisBrogan.com, but also to enable the site to run far more efficiently than it ever has before.

  • Chris,

    Post the questions here in the comments and those of us who read this far down will answer them anyway. You'd have to tally the answers by hand but loyal readers would be glad to oblige, if you don't mind that part.

    I'll guess for now:

    Late thirties (*sigh*).

    Here because your blog was recommended by another blogger (who? don't know, it's been a long time).

    Sometimes a bit heavy on the social media discussions because I don't use any of the main ones (niche places FohBoh and BlogHer only-better ROI for me-no Twitter, FaceBook, etc.) but good to keep up on the concepts without having to use my own time digging in to them.

    Stay because you have an authentic "voice," tell a story well, and you're from my home state (I think that means you think/write/"speak" in a way that's familiar to me).

    Love the site's design, also. Very... stripped down, very "guy" (whatever that means, to a woman), not monetized within an inch of its life, thank goodness. It's clear from the design that you're here to inform.

    Usually read in email, then click over to surf related articles on occasion (or to comment).

    There. Answers to six imagined questions, probably nothing like what you asked!

    Regards,

    Kelly

  • Hi Chris, just thought I would add that I am using the new Mail app in Leopard to follow this site when I am busy. Not the same as seeing your friendly face of course, but it keeps me up to speed. Do you get the stats if I view this way?

    Looks like the survey is down Chris.

    First off this is I believe my 1st time commenting here. I've been following you for a while. I rarely ever even come to your site. 99% of the time I read your posts straight from the RSS reader which might be the reason I never comment.

    I am a 23 year old male from Arizona who is no longer in college.

    Survey was closed at 8:14 p.m. PST. Could mean that you're over the limit? How many people do you think read your site? I'd like to see the results of the survey even though I couldn't get in.

    BTW, I'm a semi-retired college professor.
  • Chris:
    Your #1 spanish reader again...
    Such a great idea this survey. These are the kind of things that keep us coming every day. "What did he write about today?". "What kind of surprise will he give us".
    Thanks for this brilliant stuff.
  • Why do I keep coming back....

    - Because I subscribe to the RSS feed so it automatically appears in my Google Reader :-)
  • Chris -

    I've used the survey provider several times in the past and found it to be very useful. I was happy to take the test because you are so generous with your posts - I felt it is the least your reader could do.

    Thanks
  • I just took your survey, it was a nice way of gaining some insight into your readers. You'll have to share some of the results!
  • On the choices on #4
    First I have to say that I love that you included "I'm your Mom or someone like that" which I am tempted to select.
    For new visitors to your blog, I might guess that some found you on Twitter and get frequent reminders on Twitter (from various sources there) to come back.
    I think your friend/reader is astute that your blog is a great resource for not just business people but both students and professors.
    It might be interesting also to know what quadrant of the world your readers come from as I would expect a far reach.
