Sure, how much do I get paid?


j/k....I filled in a copy.


I wasn't sure about "What is your understanding of web hosting"....I wasn't clear on what it was asking.

Hope you like deleting a bunch of NULL responses or disregarding them, since I was able to submit the survey without filling out anything.

I agree with Paul (wow, twice in two days...that is amazing), some of your questions didn't make any sense, like the "Web hosting" question...Also, I have no clue what the exchange rate is between AU and US dollars...maybe in the future, you could contextualize your questions that would make sense to a broader audience...since you did ask GT members and users to fill out the survey, and we ain't all Aussies...bye bye!
========================================
Buh Bye!

True... AU$10 is about US$5

I have learnt from this survey. Have tried presenting it to people in the public, but generally they can no further then Q6. As they either only use the net @ work or just know the basics of how to use the Internet.

I was wondering who was sending several submits... was waiting for more to arrive.. if more did was going to try a .htaccess deny ;) heh (I know if you wanted to you could get around that.. but...)

I just need to get a better questionnaire script.. was just using Matt's (WorldWideMart) FormMail.

thanks,

Warp.

Yuck,,,that is not a good script. You can easily create your own...and store the responses in a database file or real database. Then you can import the table or database file into SPSS or another statistical analyzing program. (Using SPSS is good though since you can execute quantitative and qualitative analyses.)

Analyzing data from email responses is tideous and a waste of time, IMO.

True

I just need a minimum of 100 responses for this survey.. doing a business plan etc.... and see if I can get onto the NEIS scheme (which bascially helpes you get a business up and running)..

What is SPSS? url?

Thanks,

Warp.

You're doing market research and you don't know about SPSS??? Laugh SPSS is a common statistical application used in businesses primarily by marketing specialists.

It's also used in other industries and disciplines, like social scientific research.

Hey we did not get told about such programs... idea is to spend $0.00 on this, or at least to spend as little as possible. Like for me to get my hands on IBIS reports would cost a fair bit :D

Who didn't tell you? Your marketing professor? Do you have access to computer labs? If so, I am sure that they have SPSS installed. It is a common stat program taught and used in most Universities.

I am quite surprised that your professor or instructor did not include lessons on statistical application programs used to analyze survey data. Very surprised...

I mean data collection methods are important, but the analysis is the most important. Getting a bunch of data is one thing, but not analyzing it in a systematic method is not cost-effective or worthwhile, IMO.

Buh Bye!

Nah not doing Uni etc...

Been unemployed.. and when you been unemployed for a bit you can have a go at starting a business and get a fortnightly payment off a certain Government Department (about AU$390) ... if your business is viable (ie you done the market research, done a business plan) and the Department likes it... then they give you 12 months to get it running ... and you are not required to look for other work as you are working on your business.

I think have seen SPSS before.. @ school, a few years back now.

We have a similar thing over here called the Princes Trust (started by Prince Charles).....if you have a good business idea you can have an interview with someone and if you have a good business plan you can get a grant to startup your business. I sent off for some info but never took it any further.

Cool.

What I am currently doing is getting a basic plan and market research done, which I will hand in with my application within the next several days. They (the ppl running NEIS) will go over my application and that.. and decide if it is indeed has some chance of working.
