1.  Embracing Direct Audience Feedback: Learn how to leverage your audience’s preferences and interests to alleviate decision fatigue.You’ll come to see the value of social media and engage your audience in the process of your content creation because they can help you decide what to create next. 

Survey Your Audience for Inspiration

1. The Power of Surveys: Uncover the benefits of using surveys and intuitive tools to collect feedback from your community, audience, and customers. You’ll unpack some of the tools we use like Survicate mentioned and demonstrated to greater detail in our most recent Hot Seat call on this page.
