2019 Selfish Giving Questionnaire

Thanks for taking the survey!

PLEASE READ: The survey begins with a series of questions of what I should publish in addition to my weekly newsletter. The options include adding expert webinars, an audio version of my newsletter, a podcast, a second weekly newsletter and/or a Twitter chat.

Question Title

* 1. Would you watch monthly expert webinars that teach a specific skill or discuss a specific topic?

For example, I could guide you on how to execute a charity pinup program from start to finish or how to start your own corporate partnership newsletter, etc. I would ask for input from you on which topics to present!

Question Title

Question Title

* 3. Would you read a second newsletter each week that includes a featured post on a specific topic?

Every Wednesday you receive a newsletter from me that curates key articles from the cause industry.

Under this new scenario, I would email you on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

The Thursday newsletter would be the same great newsletter you already receive every week (on Wednesdays).

However, in the Tuesday newsletter, I would write a 500 to 1,000 word post on a topic that I know would interest you. For example: How to find your nonprofit's first 100 micro-influencers; How to create a sales funnel for corporate partnership prospects, etc.

I would definitely read this second newsletter

I might read this second newsletter

One newsletter a week is plenty

Megan Strand and I recorded over 260 episodes of CauseTalk Radio before we shelved it last summer. But people sometimes ask us to bring it back. Should the podcast live again?

Question Title

* 5. Do you want me to host a Twitter chat on a corporate partnership topic that would vary from week to week?

For example, I could host a Q&A chat with an expert on stewarding corporate partnership or getting more sponsors for your events.

Question Title

* 8. What do you think Selfish Giving is missing the boat on? "Joe, you should be doing this!" (Check all that apply)

Why aren't you active on Instagram?

Why aren't you on YouTube doing videos?

Why aren't you talking to me via text message?

When will you launch a Selfish Giving event I can attend?

Why aren't you doing more meetups in my city?

Why aren't you covering other topics besides corporate partnerships? I need a go-to resource for major gifts, planned giving, foundation grants, etc.?

Why aren't you offering coaching on how to do nonprofit consulting?

Why aren't you providing me with a Flash Briefing on my smart speaker?

I think you have most things covered, but I'll let you know if I think of anything!

Question Title

* 9. If money wasn't a factor and you could hire me to help your organization, what would you hire me to do? (Check all that apply)

Write case studies for my organization

Speak at my event or to my team

Help create or write an email newsletter for my organization

Consult to my organization on how to execute corporate partnerships or develop a content marketing plan

I'd invest in a sponsored link, ad or post in the Selfish Giving newsletter

I wouldn't hire you. [I appreciate your honesty! 😊]

Comments or suggestions?

Question Title

* 10. When I see sponsored content in your current newsletter...

I like it because it's usually connected to growing my corporate partnership program

I tolerate it because I know it helps defray costs and keeps the newsletter free to readers

I don't like it because the sponsored content seems too much like advertising

I don't like it.

Wait. You have sponsors in your newsletter?

Comments or suggestions?

Question Title

* 11. What's your current job title?

Here's why I ask: Two types of people read my newsletter. People who work specifically in corporate partnerships and others who work in fundraising but are interested in corporate partnerships, marketing, etc. It's helpful to know which group you belong to when I am analyzing responses!
