Hello, my name is Katie Layman and in these lessons, you'll learn how to select the collection method for a target audience using WebLink, social media collectors, and learn how to collect and enter responses manually. In this lesson, I will show you how to select the collection method for a target audience. Opening up one of your surveys when you have completed the design and check the preview and score. Double check to make sure that you have a symbol at the bottom right hand corner that is a green thumbs up. Your work is done and then it's ready to choose a way to send the survey and collect responses. Select collect responses. And you can see the various methods that SurveyMonkey uses to collect responses. You could purchase responses from a specific demographic on the global survey panel that SurveyMonkey audience provides and get results or there are a few other methods to reach out to your general prospect list or on the web or through social media. The three main methods of collecting responses are through sending by email. So, you will send the survey out, track who responds, and schedule follow up reminders and thank yous using the SurveyMonkey email system. This is ideal because it keeps everything in one place and you can create custom list, keep track of the different contacts and keep them organized, as well as being able to see the reports on the number of opens and who has responded and when they have responded. You can share a survey link using WebLink which is a way to email a custom URL link to your prospects and clients, or you can post it on the website and the style of an invitation. Posting it on social media gives you a way to quickly organize an invitation and post that survey onto Twitter through a tweet, LinkedIn, you can post it to the feed or a private message and Facebook Messenger or Facebook story or on your newsfeed. So, those are the three main methods of collecting responses through SurveyMonkey. Thanks for watching. Stay tuned for the next lesson where I will show you how to use WebLink and social media collectors.
