Survey Wrap-up
I received a comment this week from Isabelle Mori of Change Therapy who has enjoyed reading the results of my recent Online Marketing and Networking Survey, and is wondering about the demographics and online behaviours of the participants.
The survey results have been described in the following blog posts:
- The Status of Ezines
- Who Is Blogging?
- Reading Blogs
- Keeping Track of All Those Blogs
- The Wonderful World of Social Networks
This is really all the information I’ve gathered about the participants’ online behaviours, but I did ask the participants, Do you operate a home-based business? The responses were as follows:
|
|
Yes |
81% |
|
|
No |
13% |
|
|
Skipped Question |
6% |
I also asked, If you answered "Yes" to the above question, what type of business is it? and received the following replies:
|
|
Virtual assistant |
28% |
|
|
Professional organizer |
18% |
|

The bolded categories were suggested answers; all others were supplied by the participants who chose "Other" and there is clearly some overlap there. The majority of my clients and regular contacts belong to the suggested professions, so it’s really not surprising that over 70% of the participants with home-based businesses fit into those categories.
This concludes this series of blog posts – I do hope you found it interesting and possibly even helpful as you develop your own online marketing and networking strategy.
wow, thank you, that was a quick response! very interesting. particularly interesting to see how many of your readers have their own business. thank you so much!
