Some Market Research – Need Your Help!
Hi Guys.
How is 2010 going for all of you? I’ve got some tough decisions to make in the coming few days, but in the mean time I am doing a little fact-finding for a family relation looking to setup a small online business. After some research and work they decided they might like to run a hosting company. This was something I was thinking of doing at one point. There was a stage where I considered doing some offline marketing consultancy, and I flirted with the idea of providing hosting solutions to some small businesses at one stage. In all honesty, this is probably what my relation is going to do.
Anyway, I threw together a really quick, 4-question, multiple choice/multi-answer survey on surveymonkey.com and offered to help get some market research done.
Look, the survey should take you a maximum of 2 minutes to do (if that). You’d be doing me a massive favor if you would take a minute of your time to fill this out and leave a comment on this blog saying you filled it out, I promise to give everyone who took part some kind of goodie/gift to say thank you very much! No idea what it is yet, but it’ll be good, I promise!
Oh, and in case you are wondering, the family relations are my parents! So it’d mean a lot to me if anyone of you would take two minutes to fill this in: Click here to take survey
I’ll be making a couple of cool posts in the very close to the future talking about the lessons I learnt from 2009.
Take care, and peace to you and yours.

Hi Sasha,
Thank you so much for reading the blog, leaving a comment and adding to my survey. I just checked out your site, and for anyone reading this, I highly recommend you take a look at it. It’s an incredibly good looking and well put together website. I confess, I haven’t used the survey yet. I am going to root round the site a bit more and take a look at where you get your panelists from. I.e. who will the people be that are answering the survey and how did you find them (in generic terms of course).
It looks affordable and very useful. I figured I only need a couple hundred responses to make my survey representative of the target market, and your site looks like it would be very possible and affordable to achieve that. Again, thank you for the info.
Your back!!! Survey complete…
Thanks Will. Great to see you back here as well, and great to reconnect with you.
Thank you so much for completing the survey!
One tip I can give, do the exact opposite of another hosting company we both know and you can’t go wrong
LOL!
Eddy, you just struck upon where I got my idea from. And yeah, you’re on the money. I am confident I can do a far superior job to you-know-who, but my challenge will be driving the “targeted” traffic and getting conversions. Conversions have always been my weakness though, so we will see how it goes if myself and the family embark on this. By the way Ed, know any good support contractors who could help me out?
Hi Alex
