Looking for a New Poll Question

Build Your Online Business Now

With 1,275 replies, I think the current poll has ran its course and it’s time for a new one. This is where you come in. Come up a great poll question and if I use it, I’ll send you an “I’m Blog This” T-Shirt from Market Leverage. You can give your recommendation(s) in the comments.

Be creative and give me a lot of polling ideas. If two readers give the same question, the winner will be the one who post it first. There is no time limit for submissions. It’s over when the new poll goes up. For those who are wondering, the poll plugin I use is call WP-Polls by Lester Chan.

What kind of blog would you set up, if you are new to the world of online selling?
~ fashion + accessories blog
~ technology + gadgets blog
~ SEO service blog
~ educational material blog

A good poll would be to ask which traffic generation method do you find to be most profitible...choices could be ppc,article writing,buying media,classy ads,etc.

What should I make a poll about?

a) Shoemoney's baldness
b) Review of a fast food restaurant
c) 5 reasons I should stop blogging and love the bomb
d) Cowboy Neal is not really a topic
e) How to drive traffic by encouraging interaction from the readers

i will try to give you my idea as soon as i have one
btw nice concept...

Ask the readers what type of blog are they. Give them categories. We will be able to see what type of bloggers are reading your blog. I think the results will be surprising! My blog for instance has nothing to do with making money.

I think that's a great idea! I'd be interested in seeing what categories of bloggers John gets.

Here's my try for the poll question:

Q: Why is inflation rising around the world?
Options:
1. People have enough money
2. Simply Mismanagement of resources
3. Bad Economic Policies from Developed Countries
4. Increasing Population and less products available

Hope this poll question qualifies as this is the current hot topic around the world on everyone's mind that why the inflation is increasing day by day and what are the reasons for it. It will be good to have this as a poll as this will finally come out with views that what people believe about this.

I'd really like to see a poll about the relative effectiveness of social networks as traffic builders. Twitter, MySpace, StumbleUpon, and so on. The results might be surprising.
Have a very happy day.

What monetary system should replace the fiat system? I say gold standard. Is that related to this blog? Never mind...

I have another one:

Has my free eBook helped you make money?

I was also thinking about this one. I think that this is a good way for the users of this site to give accurate feedback without having to email to tell you how well you helped them or their blog.

Yeah, I agree with you.

Are you making over $30,000 per month?

How many affiliate programs have you joined?

Do you believe RSS feed counts are important?

How long have you been visiting John Chow dot Com?

I'll take my whack at this, but I'll keep things VERY simple.

Since you usually blog about non-related things because you have the "RAMBLINGS" category, your question should be:

Do you enjoy my food posts?

1. Yes
2. No

Simple, but effective to see how your readers are actually enjoying your fine dining experiences :)

-Mike

Pesonally, I like these posts, kind of funny and cool!

I think they're wicked.

How about a simple one to know how people see you John?

Do you like John Chow as a person ( referring to the evil case :p )
1. Yes
2. No

Personally I'll vote yes, I like the way that you deal with people and the strategy that you follow to hunt opportunities and make money online.

who do you like more john chow or john cow and who is the copycat??

john chow
john cow
both cpycat me

Who is/was the best BatMan?

Wonder Woman or Bionic Woman

How about "Who's the most evil person on the web?" Regardless of who the other choices were, you would still win John.

Who's blog do you read first each day

1. John Chow
2. ProBlogger
3. Shoemoney
4. Entrepreneur's Journey
5. Other

Question: What are the reasons you work online?

Do you still enjoy reading guru's ebooks?

1. Yes, I love to.
2. If big names talk about it
3. Nevermind, I enjoy reading anything free.
4. Hell NO! I don't believe that crap anymore!

Which is the greatest blog ever? john chow, shoemoney or problogger

While I don't need another ML shirt, here are a few suggestions for you:

What topic would you like to see written about more?
What is your favorite blog post from JohnChow.com?
How often do you tweet a day?
What's your favorite affiliate network (wink wink)?
Who is going to AdTech? Affiliate Summit?
Do you watch MLTV?

I'm sure I can come up with some more, but I think those are a good start. If you use any of mine, feel free to give a shirt away to a reader. :)

If you were suddenly independently wealthy, would you rather?

stay where you live and keep your job.

stay where you live but quit your job.

move into a mansion.

emigrate to a rural area outside the U.S.

What would you enjoy reading on John Chow.com

- Product Reviews
- Lunching and Dining
- Video Blogging
- Affiliate Marketing and Blogging

Question: Aside from the "make money online" niche, what other types of blogs do you enjoy reading?

1. Technology
2. Lifestyle
3. Sports
4. Automobiles

etc.

Question: "At what point do you quit the daily grind (i.e. 9-5 job) and focus 100% on your online business?"

- When I'm making 75% of my current salary
- When I'm making 100% of my current salary
- When I'm making 150% of my current salary
- When I'm making 200% of my current salary
- When I'm making 300% of my current salary

I like this one! Definitely a question that a lot of bloggers stuggle with!

Good one. It'd be interesting to see the results for this.

Question: "Who is your favourite Dot Com Pho member?"

Then list off the regulars that attend. lol

This would be a great question, but I have a feeling that most John Chow dot Com readers would vote for John Chow! If Stephen posted the poll on his blog, he'd probably win. If Ed posted on his blog, he'd probably win. If I posted on my blog...

Then again, everyone loves the Segway-crashing Kwanye, right? :)

Chris should win this for his question :)

Should I write more posts asking my readers to create my content?

;)

What would you like me to post about more often.

1) Building a proper blog foundation (how to focus 3 different area's of traffic)

2) How to start Video blogging (editing, production etc- tutorial videos)

3) How to build affiliate marketing into your blog posts to increase income

4) Why I think Shoemoney is a second rate blogger

Those could be example qquestions, or you could always do the classic poll like below.

Who are you voting for in the next presidential election?

What social network is driving you the most traffic?

How much does your blog earn you?

1. I dont have a blog
2. Less than $100 per month
3. $100-$1000

etc

Who are the best bloggers in the world? Australians, Canadians, or Americans? ;-)

Canadians

Yeah, I'm going to go with Americans...

You should do a poll asking readers some of the main reasons they comment on blogs (to be a part of the community, to give advice to others, to provide feedback, to drive traffic to their blog etc.) It would be interesting to see people's reasoning for interacting through the comments.

Do a survey on " How much JohnChow.com readers make money online a month"

How about a poll asking if people care about polls anymore.

Ask their Location. Some users may be close to Mogul :)
