Step 1: Create Your First Survey

First things first – let's create your inaugural Candor survey! Don't worry if you're not a survey-crafting pro; our AI-powered survey creator makes it a breeze. Simply input your goals and preferences, and Candor will generate engaging questions that are tailored to your needs. It's like having a survey genie at your beck and call (minus the whole "three wishes" thing).

Pro Tip: Keep your surveys short and sweet. We recommend aiming for 5-7 questions max to keep your audience engaged and encourage higher response rates.

Step 2: Share Your Survey Across Channels

Now that you've created your survey masterpiece, it's time to share it with the world (or at least your corner of the internet). Candor makes it easy to distribute your surveys across all your channels, from video and social media to Discord, email, and podcasts. Just a few clicks, and you'll be gathering feedback from your audience in no time.

Pro Tip: Don't be afraid to get creative with your survey promotion! Tease it in your content, offer incentives for participation, or even make a fun video about why you value your audience's feedback.

Step 3: Dive into Your Dashboard

Once the responses start rolling in, it's time to dive into your Candor dashboard. This is where the magic happens – all your audience feedback, neatly consolidated into one easy-to-navigate hub. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the layout and features. Trust us, it's more intuitive than assembling IKEA furniture (and less likely to cause a domestic dispute).

Pro Tip: Set aside dedicated time each week to review your dashboard and identify actionable insights. Consistency is key when it comes to understanding your audience and improving your content.

Step 4: Put Your Insights into Action

You've gathered the feedback, you've uncovered the insights – now it's time to put them into action! Use what you've learned to inform your content strategy, whether that means tweaking your topics, adjusting your format, or doubling down on what's resonating with your audience.

Pro Tip: Don't be afraid to experiment and try new things based on your audience's feedback. Some of the best content breakthroughs come from taking risks and stepping outside your comfort zone.

Step 5: Rinse and Repeat

Congratulations – you're officially a Candor pro! But the learning never stops. Make gathering and acting on audience feedback a regular part of your content creation process. The more you understand your audience, the better equipped you'll be to create content that truly connects.

Pro Tip: Celebrate your wins along the way! When you see your content resonating with your audience, take a moment to pat yourself on the back. You're doing great work, and your audience appreciates it.

And there you have it – your crash course in getting started with Candor Feedback. Remember, our team is always here to support you on your creator journey. If you have any questions or need a pep talk, don't hesitate to reach out. Happy surveying!
