we need two minutes of your time...

    We are two Masters students conducting our research on the most effective techniques that bloggers use in order to succesfully monetize their blog and eventually make it as their primary source of income. Of course things don't go always as planned and there are very few who actually are successful in achieving their goal. We designed a survey for our research in order to find out what methods bloggers usually prefer for monetization and if they are eventually successful with them or not.

    Please fill out the following survey as it will only take a few minutes. All information is completely anonymous and you do not need to fill out any personal details in the survey. Upon completion of our thesis, you can contact me in case you need the results of our research and I will gladly share them with you. I would be extremely grateful for your cooperation. Cheers!

    You can find the survey here,

    Kind of sad that nobody filled up the survey in the last 2 days. =( All we want is your help for conducting our sincere academic research. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a bunch!

    I assume the fault could be at our end since we are not providing any sort of quick incentive to the bloggers. We are just students so we can't offer a million dollars, but feel free to suggest any sort of incentive you might expect. =D Hopefully if its in a range we can afford, we will certainly consider it!

    My personal suggestion is that anyone who fills up the entire survey, writes a post here saying "I filled it up" or something. By the end of it we can choose one lucky person and we pay him $35 via Paypal. Does that sound like a good enough incentive? Please don't start writing fake "I filled it up" posts here though since we can count the responses to the number of posts here, if they don't match, it would certainly mean something's wrong! =D

    I think you get better results by posting this in Problogger and John Chow blogs.
