How to Make a Survey Online
The Internet gives researchers the ability to access endless amounts of information at the touch of a button. It also provides an easier means to collect data on virtually any topic. Many websites exist that let users quickly create and share surveys, allowing data to be collected faster than ever. Results can then be viewed in real time using the back-end software of the survey website. Survey websites differ in their price, usability, response display options and more, so it is important to do your research and find the site offering the options that fit the needs of your research. Popular survey websites include ZapSurvey.com, Zoomerang.com, SurveyMonkey.com, FreeOnlineSurveys.com, MakeSurvey.net and Createsurvey.com. Although these websites are all different, the survey creation process is similar.
