Twitter is an excellent social network that offers its users a convenient platform in which they can get in touch with a variety of important professionals and individuals spread world-wide.
In contrast to Facebook, Twitter allows to acquire a wide range of “followers” and create a community that corresponds exactly to one’s areas of interests or to his line of business with a matter of seconds and in the most convenient way possible. This social network has now become an essentiality among companies due to its utmost convenience and transparency when communicating to its clients, prospects or even the influential people related to its line of business.
At present, there are a vast number of individuals and companies who are in the struggle to issue yet another questionnaire into these social networks with the sole intention of reaching out to as many people as possible. Among all, Twitter is known to be one of the most adapted tools, even if the site does not offer an integrated solution to create a survey.
For this, we must focus our attention towards an on-line questionnaire software.

Publishing the poll on Twitter
Login to your account and click on “to tweet”, so as to create an introductory sentence and then paste the Web link onto it.

Increase its participation rate
Publishing a poll on a social network allows to increase the number of participants to a considerably higher rate. However, in order to reap the maximal benefits, there are a few rules that should be taken into consideration:
– Write an introductory text that is clearly directed towards the subject of the survey
– Specify a duration so as not to discourage those people being questioned along the way
– Add a progress bar
– Use clear questions
– If possible, make sure, that your survey is not too long
– Feel free to add a little sense of humor
