That's my problem as well, I don't want to shell out on paid subs unless it's something I'd use daily for sure. I tend to think much of all of these tools will be free by mid 2024 anyways. It will be a race to the bottom I'm hoping for accessibility.
From what I can tell so far (because I found this by Googling the same question) it's not an easy process. Check your subscribers before you send your next post and filter by clicks in (for example) the last 7 days or since the last post. Then you have to open each subscriber's details who clicked on that poll link. That's easy when you have a low number of clicks, but it's difficult when the click frequency is high!
Thanks for the reply! I did check the stats, and while it shows me how many people responded to the poll (417) and the percentage each option received, it doesn't show me specifically who voted for each one--which would be great info to have!
This is very helpful, Simon. So thank you for this. I think I will try a survey question in my newsletter this week. One question I've had about open rates: I feel like I know some recipients show up with a zero open because the email address I'm sending to them (maybe NAME[at]TheirEmployer) forwards to a personal Gmail or other address where they are actually opening and reading it. Would the second email address count as an open somehow even if it was never opened from their, say, Outlook account or whatever?
One of my subscribers replied to my newsletter, keeping a copy below. I clicked a benign link (previously unclicked) and it registered to that subscriber. Cool, huh?
What survey tools do you all recommend? That is what I was hoping to find reading this.
Same here. May I ask what tools you ended up adopting?
For the most part tool early to say, still just playing around and beta testing. You?
Was looking at Typeform. Looks great, but don't think I want to commit to a paid subscription, so looking for alternatives.

Now considering using freeonlinesurveys.com. Seems good enough.
How do I get a listing of responders to my polls for giveaways and special offers?
I was wondering the same thing!

I agree!

Actually, I have an answer to that.
Yes.

Did you find an answer to this question?
I didn't, no
