Free WordPress Poll Starter Kit

Stop guessing what your audience wants. Ask them.

Pick the decision you’re stuck on, publish one poll, and find out what your audience thinks, and how far to trust the answer.

Five ready-to-use guides, from what to create next to which option to pick and what to fix first. Each one works with YOP Poll Free.

Written by the team behind YOP Poll, building WordPress polls since 2012.

Inside the kit

What are you stuck on right now?

Pick the guide that matches your decision. Each one gives you the question, the answer options, and the steps to build it in YOP Poll.

  1. What should I create next?
    Let your audience pick the topic, so your next post or course already has demand.
  2. Which option should I go with?
    Narrow your shortlist before you commit time or money to the wrong one.
  3. What should I fix first?
    Find out what customers value most and what bugs them, so you know what to fix first.
  4. Was my workshop any good?
    Get honest feedback while it’s fresh, and make the next session better.
  5. Why aren’t more people recommending me?
    Find out what people would praise to a friend, and what stops them from doing it.

Every guide also shows you how to read the results, including what they can’t tell you.

How would you rate [today’s workshop / this module] overall?

Keep in mind

With a small group, one or two responses can change the picture. Treat the results as a signal, not a final verdict.
