Creating a successful podcast takes more than just having a great idea. To ensure that the show resonates with listeners, podcasters must understand their audience and the topics they want to hear. Audience surveys are an invaluable tool to help podcasters understand their listeners and create content tailored to them. In this article, we will look at why audience surveys are so crucial for podcasters, as well as some tips on how best to use them.

Why Have a Survey?

1. Advertisers 2. Understanding who listening? 3. Understand what they want 4. To help you deliver more value in your show

Creating Your Survey

What is the goal of this survey? Why are you creating this survey? What do you hope to accomplish with this survey? How will you use the data you are collecting?

Question Tips:

Explain to the recipients why you are doing this survey and how it will benefit THEM.

Start with general questions and then get specific.

If you are doing a sliding scale, make it an even number 1-4 instead of 1-5, as it eliminates the ability to choose the items in the middle.

If you have advertisers ask if people have purchased one of your sponsor's products.

QUESTION OF THE MONTH

This month the question is the one I do over December. What is your favorite podcast in 2022, and WHY? You can only choose ONE (I know it's hard). If you can get their website URL, that would be VERY helpful. Also, be sure to mention your show, it's website and a little bit about it.
