Why did I switch from Typeform to SurveySparrow? (10 Reasons)

Nowadays, I am being asked “Why do I switch from Typeform to SurveySparrow” on a regular basis? So, I have decided to write this comprehensive article in order to explain why I have started using SurveySparrow.

Let’s dive right in.

The Importance of Surveys

Different business organizations and noncorporate associations conduct surveys to understand what individuals think about them.

The information collected from these surveys helps business associations to make better data-driven decisions. Surveys also provide an idea about what people like and dislike in a particular product.

Various online survey tools are also being used for receiving feedback about any particular product as well as for establishing much better customer relationships. Some of the most prominent online survey tools are Typeform, SurveySparrow, Google Forms, Jotform, Paperform, 123 Form Builder, and Wufoo.

In this article, I will discuss why I switched from Typeform to SurveySparrow. Furthermore, I will also discuss why I selected TypeForm earlier and what is the special thing about SurveySparrow.

So, let’s start.

Why did I select Typeform earlier?

Typeform is one of the most popular and well-recognized online survey tools that are being used widely. Since the arrival of Typeform in 2012, it has established a pivotal place in the survey domain. It is famous for creating forms and surveys that people enjoy answering. Furthermore, it tries its best to grab the attention of the audience.

I chose Typeform earlier specifically because of these reasons. Honestly speaking, in the beginning, my experience with this tool was great. However, with time, I noticed some drawbacks in this tool that really changed my mood. Some of the prominent drawbacks that I found in the Typeform are;

An obvious difference in the number of features that are being offered in the premium and free version of this tool.The price at which the premium version of Typeform is being offered is very high.The user interface for the basic users of this tool is quite difficult and annoying. Only one question is displayed at one time that was not appreciated by some of my users.

Because of the faced issues, I started looking for some better alternatives of Typeform, and then I discovered SurveySparrow.

SurveySparrow vs Typeform – Pricing comparison

Intro to SurveySparrow: a better alternative to Typeform

Typeform used to be my favorite earlier. However, the number of issues present in the free version of this tool and pricing strategies really turned me off. So, I started looking for a better alternative to Typeform.

Some of the most prominent alternatives of Typeform are SurveySparrow, Google Forms, Formstack, GetFeedback, Jotform, and Wufoo.

However, I ended up going for SurveySparrow. Considering the features present in it and the price at which it arrives totally baffled me at once. After comparing it with other online survey tools, I realized that SurveySparrow is an ideal solution for me.  

SurveySparrow provides an equally interesting experience not only for the targeted audience but also for the individuals who are expecting some useful insights from it.

The best part about this online survey tool is its conversational user interface that can keep the audience engaging for longer periods of time.

A better conversion rate can easily be expected thanks to its conversational interface. Another likable feature present in this tool is that it automates the tasks of sending different surveys.

By reading, Crushing It! entrepreneurs can get practical advice to use social media platforms to grow their personal brand. It features the stories of how other successful business owners utilized Vaynerchuk’s advice to grow their online presence.

‘Crushing It!’ taught me a lot and at the same time, it wasn’t the kind of motivational book that said anything was possible as long as you believed, but anything was definitely possible if you had the right mix of hard work, patience, passion, and talent.

I’d recommend this book to anyone who’s found what they want to do and want to know more about how to go about their own journey.

It’s a straightforward and detailed guide to building your own path to professional and financial success, but it’s not about getting rich. It’s a blueprint to living life on your own terms.

Bonus: “The Rudest Book Ever” by Shwetabh Gangwar

Such an appropriate title!

For me, it was the hardest slap ever! LOL:)

This book is a real eye-opener, its shock therapy for the mind and soul.

‘The Rudest Book Ever’ is a collection of perspectives and insanely practical ideas to free your mind from all bullshit. The book is full of hard truths of life you would rarely hear from your parents, friends, society or the internet.

I like the first paragraph from the first chapter (You’re a Product) of this book.

He clearly wrote that you’re not his friend if you illegally downloaded this book, I mean the PDF version of The Rudest Book Ever.

He wrote that: “…As long as you are reading this book, I will be your friend. The only case in which it doesn’t apply is if you illegally downloaded this book, in which case, fuck you.” LOL!

It shows how straightforward, straight-talking and to the point our Shwetabh Gangwar Bhai (brother) is!

I suggest you read this book to change your mindset completely and to free your mind from all bullshit.

Because as an aspiring entrepreneur I think your mindset is everything (it can help you achieve your goals) and a strong mindset (which is free from all bullshit) is needed to dive into the risky entrepreneurship world.

A refreshing, easy to read and relatable guide, ‘The Rudest Book Ever’ will make you rethink everything you’ve been taught.

7 Top Performing Lead Magnets to Attract Qualified Leads

Building a list of qualified leads is one of the most important things you can do as a business owner. 

After all, the majority of the customers who visit your website or social media pages won’t be ready to convert from the moment they first see your product or service. 

Most consumers need time to develop trust for your company, as well as to find enough information about your product or service. 

That’s why adding your customers to an email list gives you a chance to connect with them consistently over a period of time. 

The more meaningful content you deliver to your audience, the more their relationship with your company deepens. 

Of course, before you can start discovering all the benefits of connecting with your list, you’re going to need to convince your customers to sign up for your emails. 

So, how do you get people to sign up for your list? You need a lead magnet. 

The Best Lead Magnets for Qualified Leads

A lead magnet is essentially a gift or incentive you offer to potential customers in exchange for email addresses or contact details. 

Lead magnets typically offer digital content because it’s easier to access than physical items, so your customers get value straight away.

Lead magnets are important because your customers already have cluttered inboxes.

They need a lot of convincing before they’re going to hand their contact details over to anyone. 

A lead magnet is also an excellent way to demonstrate how valuable your business is to a potential customer. 

There are tons of different kinds of lead magnets, from eBooks and webinars to event tickets, reports, and case studies. 

The key to success is finding the magnet most likely to convert your target customer. Today, we’re going to be looking at some of the best ways to earn qualified leads.

1. Checklists

Checklists are handy lead magnet options for companies looking to provide customers with easily accessible and consumable information. 

They are fantastic for earning conversions.

In addition to being useful, they also require little effort from your customers. 

Everything your clients need is condensed into a simple list. They can even print that list and share it with others. 

Another great thing about checklists is how easy they are for companies to create. 

You can take information from many of your favorite blog posts and online articles and convert that into an actionable list. 

Alternatively, you could turn audio and video content into a checklist for people who want to be able to access insights on the move. 

The key to creating a successful checklist is making sure that it’s packed full of usable information, but also easy to read and follow. 

Make your checklist downloadable in a PDF format, so that users don’t have to log into your site or access their email to use it again in the future. 

You could even give your customers a mobile version they can access on their phones. 

2. Gated Content

With a little luck, you’re already using content marketing as a valuable part of your strategy for business growth. 

Content helps you to rank higher with Google, but it also proves to your audience that you understand your industry and have valuable insights to offer. 

If you have a particularly fantastic piece of content on your website, you could even turn it into a lead magnet by using gated content. 

Essentially, this means that you give people a taster of your content with an intro to your blog post. 

After that, you can ask them to give you their email address or contact details if they want to continue reading. 

Gated content is an excellent way to earn leads and long-term customers. 

However, it’s important to ensure that people actually want your content badly enough to sign up. 

Work on developing your position as a thought leader, so customers know they’ll get value from you.

If you’re not sure what kind of gated content will get the most attention from your audience, run a survey or poll on social media to see what your clients are most interested in.

3. How-to Guides

How-to guides are some of the most popular kinds of content available today. 

Whether you’re trying to earn attention on Instagram, or building a name for yourself online, how-to guides are effective and brimming with value. 

Similar to some other kinds of lead magnets, how-to-guides require a little more time and focus than things like checklists. 

However, it’s definitely worth the effort if you want to build an identity for yourself as a thought leader or industry expert. 

Guides can even work as a valuable part of your sales funnel, showing customers what your products or services can do. 

For instance, if you’re a company selling social media marketing support, your how-to guides could show customers how they can choose the best social media platform for their company, or make good Facebook posts. 

This is your opportunity to demonstrate your skills. 

How-to guides are also great if you want to go beyond written content for your lead magnets. 

You can deliver these solutions in the form of videos and podcasts, too. 

Why not deliver various versions of your how-to guide, so you can appeal to a range of customers?

4. Reports and Studies

Some lead magnets are better for attracting certain kinds of customers. For instance, if you want to speak specifically to B2B companies, then reports and studies are a great choice. 

Businesses search for plenty of statistics and research to prove that they’re spending their money on the right solutions to their problems. 

If you’ve recently finished working with a brand on a project and they don’t mind you sharing details about how things went, consider using that as part of a statistic-filled way to reach your audience. 

Here’s an example of how Tinypulse did it. 

Alternatively, you could consider creating your own research by looking into questions and topics your customers are interested in. 

For instance, if you sell email marketing solutions, try creating a report on the number of potential conversions a company can get by adding video to their welcome messages or something similar. 

Make sure you have plenty of data to back up any claims you make. 

If you’re using information from times you’ve worked with other companies, make sure you get permission to share their name and data before you create your lead magnet. 

5. Infographics and Visuals

Notably, lead magnets don’t always have to be based around written content. Some people consume information more easily when it’s presented in a visual format. 

If you’re running a particularly complicated business, for instance, you may find that it’s easier to showcase what you do and how you can help your audience through slideshows. 

Slideshows, presentations, and infographics are all excellent ways of showing your audience behind the scenes of your business and helping them to understand more complex ideas. 

You can release reports with their own graphs and charts or simply organize plenty of valuable information about your company or industry into an easy-to-follow infographic.

If you’re going to be using visual content, make sure that it’s eye-catching and attractive. Look at how Visual Capitalist made an infographic about Youtube. 

It’s also worth looking for ways to add elements of your brand personality into your visual content. For instance, could you use your brand colors throughout the content in some way? 

Adding your logo to the infographic is a great idea too. It creates brand recognition and helps to protect your assets from intellectual property infringement. 

6. Webinars and Events

While you might not be able to invite everyone in your audience pool to a real-life event these days, virtual events and experiences are becoming increasingly popular. 

If you have some useful information to share, and you can get a confident person to showcase that data online, then you have all the main prerequisites for a great event. 

Online webinars and events are an immersive way to deliver information to your audience, and they can continue to generate value in the long run. 

You can run the event live once and then make it available online to all subscribers who want to check back and re-watch the information later. 

Depending on the nature of your business, you could even consider partnering with other companies in the same industry as you. This is a great way to get your brand name out there, as you’ll have more people advertising any upcoming events you may organize. 

If the experience goes well, it’s also a good idea to introduce additional events in the future. 

When trying to collect customers with event and webinar tickets, building initial hype is crucial. 

Don’t just create a landing page where people can sign up. Advertise your upcoming experience wherever you can, including on social media. 

Then, after the event is over, make sure that you continue to share snippets of what happened online. This will generate excitement for the next time. 

7. Online Courses

Online courses or eCourses are the next step up from a one-time webinar, and they’re one of the best lead magnets any business owner can create. 

What makes online courses so effective is their ability to give customers a tremendous amount of value, often with very little effort from you. 

Many companies can build online courses simply by expanding on the content they’ve already created for their website. 

There are different formats of online courses. But you can design your course however you choose, creating pre-recorded webinars and video sessions from experts throughout your business, or designing presentations and slideshows. 

Often, the best online courses contain a range of different kinds of content, enabling you to reach every kind of learner.

Choose a topic that you know your audience is interested in, based on the questions your marketing and sales teams see most often and the blogs that get the most attention on your site. 

Get guest educators to contribute to your courses, create quizzes so that users can test their knowledge, and even design downloadable certificates for people who pass. 

Not only do online courses convince people to sign up for your newsletters and marketing campaigns, but they also showcase your knowledge in a very compelling way. 

Magnetize Your Business with the Right Offers

Lead magnets are an excellent tool for any business trying to collect leads and build new business opportunities. 

As your business grows, you may even create several different kinds of lead magnets to appeal to different segments of your target audience. 

Don’t be afraid to experiment with different strategies to see which one works for your customer. Get inspiration by polling your audience or analyzing the competition. 

Remember, whatever magnets you create for your business, always track the results of your campaign. 

Examining your engagement and conversion levels will help you determine what kind of lead magnets are most likely to generate results in the years to come.

Wanna become an influencer marketer in 2021?

Today I’m gonna talk about influencer marketing, the rise of micro-influencer, how to get brand deals, and how to become an influencer marketer to make money online.

Let’s dive right in.

What Is Influencer Marketing?

Typically, influencer marketing is a type of social media marketing that utilizes endorsements and product mentions from influencers who have a large social media following and viewed as experts in their industry/niche.

Influencer marketing is the use of an existing influencer who has built a strong brand reputation in a particular niche to spread awareness of your brand, endorse your product, or co-create content to increase sales and brand awareness.

In influencer marketing, influencers generate trust with their following, and recommendations from them can be regarded as social proof among potential customers of a brand.

The Rise of the Micro-Influencer

A micro-influencer is someone with around 1k to 100k followers across any social media platform.

Most micro-influencers are often considered industry experts because they mostly deal with a specific niche or area.

Brands want to collaborate with micro-influencers who can increase brand awesomeness to specific niches and market segments.

There is also no secret that the larger the influencer, the lower the engagement.

The sweet spot for maximum engagement is to find an influencer who has between 10k-100k followers.

Besides tracking follower numbers, consider watching the types of followers, their quality, and their level of engagement.

How to Rank in Google’s Featured Snippet (Must-Know Tips)

In their race to rank in the number one position, most marketers overlook the availability of a valuable SERP opportunity that lies even before the numero uno position: featured snippet. 

If you haven’t noticed, Google results are now more than just plain links. The little bits of text that appear in informational searches are powerful weapons that can drive a lot of attention to your site – maybe even more than ranking on the first position. 

This is because the featured snippet gives the viewers information in a way that is convenient, quick, and easy to read. It enables them to scan the information they need without clicking on anything quickly. 

On the other hand, marketers can benefit from the new trend as it helps boost conversion rates, surpasses competitors, and even drive more traffic to their site. In fact, a study on featured snippets by Engine Scout reveals featured snippets to receive 35.1% of the total click share. 

But what exactly is the featured snippet? And how do you get your website to rank in one?

What is a Featured Snippet?

Also called the ‘answer box,’ a featured snippet is a brief answer to a user’s search query and is displayed on top of Google’s search results. The content that appears inside a featured snippet is automatically pulled from one of the top-ranking pages and includes the page’s title and URL. 

Besides small definitions, the featured snippets can contain lists, tables, and steps. 

Just look at the amount of space the featured snippet occupies on the SERPs. Landing in one can give you more exposure and credibility than any other method.

Types of Featured Snippets

When it comes to featured snippets, there are three main types that Google ranks.

ParagraphListTables

The paragraph-style snippets, like the example shown above, are the most popular type of featured snippets on Google. 

When it comes to paragraph style or description-based featured snippets, Google focuses on answering questions that include why, how, what, when, and who. You may also see an image accompanying the text.

There are specific keywords and phrases you can enter in the search bar that would give you results in the form of paragraph-style snippets. Some of these include:

How toWho isHow to doWhat isHow to getWhy is How is

Then there is the list style snippet that shows the search results in the form of bullets or numbered lists. However, they are usually reserved for how-to articles, step-by-step guides, and review articles that contain a list of specific goods or services.

Then lastly, there are the featured snippets that appear in the form of tables. They usually look something like this:

Sometimes you would also see videos from YouTube appear on the featured snippets. However, these are usually limited to recipes and how-to tutorials like these:

Why are Featured Snippets Important for SEO?

While it may not seem like it, featured snippets are important for SEO. 

Firstly, they give marketers an opportunity to get more clicks from the organic search results – without higher Google rankings. In fact, internet experts refer to the featured snippets as ‘position zero’ for their ability to appear above the traditional #1 spot. 

Secondly, featured snippets increase the number of ‘no click searches’ and enhance your credibility in the internet world. This is because a featured snippet immediately gives someone the answer they are looking for without the need to click anywhere. 

How to Optimize for Featured Snippets?

Now that you know the importance of featured snippets, you may wonder how to rank for one. Unfortunately, there is no formula set in stone to earn a featured snippet. But yes, there are a number of tips you can follow to increase your chances of earning a number zero position. What are they? Let’s find out below!

1. Familiarize Yourself With Potential Answers

Think of questions that are relevant to the content on your website and search for it on Google. Most likely, there will already be a featured snippet for it. This is your competitor, and you need to make your content better to surpass their featured snippet and make yours appear on the position zero. 

You can also take a look at the user’s intent by checking the ‘what people ask’ column located right below the snippet in Google search results. This area contains many similar questions with a drop-down feature, and clicking on them will show you how your competitors are answering the specific question the audience has. Aim for these as well in your content to improve your chances of appearing in the featured snippet area. 

2. Analyze the Keywords

Using focus keywords is another important tactic to use when trying to rank your content for featured snippets. This is because it not only improves your chances of ranking in one, it also helps the overall SEO tactics of your marketing gimmick. 

Use the keywords subtly in your content. Use third-party services like Ahrefs and SemRush to find out how popular specific keywords are and if there are any featured snippets linked to them. That way, you can see what keywords your competitors are using and take advantage of the same to up your SEO strategy. 

3. Find Content Ideas on Answer the Public

Answer the Public is another forum where you can find potential topic ideas for your keywords. For example, you want to learn more about the term ‘chocolate.’ The tool will automatically give you tons of answers related to the word that you can use within your content. 

With the graph given by Answer the Public, you can easily focus on the type of question you want to answer. However, make sure to do keyword research before heading over to the platform as you don’t want to be too vague or too broad when searching for content ideas on Answer the Public.

4. Optimize for the Top Ranking Position

The most important thing you would want to remember about featured snippets is that it does not overrule Google’s ranking policy. This means that your content has to rank on one of the top pages to land on the featured snippet. If it doesn’t rank well on Google, the chances of landing on a featured snippet will be minimal. 

As you already know, quality and relevant content are important if you want to impress Google’s algorithms. Follow the same practice when aiming for featured snippets. Don’t cut corners and ensure informative and relevant content in order to target both – the search engine’s first page and featured snippets.

5. Use Headers

It’s no secret that Google loves content that is skimmable with a clear page structure. Organize your content by breaking up each section in necessary headers such as H1, H2, and H3. One quick way to do this is to use the ‘Paragraph Styles’ section in Google Docs or WordPress.

Make sure the subheadings are in chronological order and not scattered, regardless of their size. For example, the H3 heading should always follow H2 and not H1. Likewise, the H2 should only be under the H1 and not under H3 and H4. 

You can also alert Google by highlighting the content you want to display on the featured snipped by adding a

tag directly below the header.

6. Be Concise

As you may already have noticed, featured snippets display a very small amount of information. This is very important as clear and concise information retains the reader’s attention and urges them to click on your site for details. The same tactic applies to featured snippets as well. This means that you should keep your features short so Google recognizes them and ranks them for snippets. 

This also means that you should be straight to the point when answering questions, even if giving detailed answers seems appropriate.

7. Stick to the Word Limit 

Although Google has no guidelines regarding the word limit for featured snippets, SEO experts recommend sticking to 40 – 50 words when aiming for featured snippets. 

This means that instead of writing fluff content, keep your written material concise, so Google has an easier time ranking it on featured snippets.

8. Create FAQs

Another way to improve your chances of landing on the featured snippets is to answer multiple questions on your page. One of the best ways to do this is by creating an FAQ page. Provide short answers in short paragraphs to the questions frequently asked by the audience.

However, don’t go overboard and stick to the optimal word count limit suggested above. This will also help improve your credibility and authority of the content, besides enhancing your chances of landing a snippet. 

9. Ensure Relevancy

While this should go without saying, we will say it anyway: Be informative and relevant in your content. 

This is because the featured snippets may be the first thing that appears in a user’s search results page, and ensuring value-centric content is vital to attract both – the users and the Google algorithm. 

10. Attract with Images and Videos

Google usually shows images and sometimes videos along with a featured snippet. And with 65% of people as visual learners, adding aesthetics and attractive elements is a must in any marketing material. So make sure to add relevant, and high-quality images along with the test to make it more enticing. 

If you are unable to source customized pictures for your written material, you can also utilize affordable stock photos and avail high-resolution images in any category. 

Similarly, videos are another way to teach an audience without using lengthy text pages. The viewers also prefer videos to text as it is easy to interpret in a short amount of time. If possible, add a video to your how-tos and tutorials to enhance the chances of landing a video-based featured snippet. 

You can also add transcripts of the complete video in the description area of the video. Google will identify the text and may potentially choose it for a featured image.
