Hello! Can anyone recommend a really well traveled site that allows surveys? I’d like to post a little 6 or 7 question survey to use as a baseline for a larger project but have been unable to find a community where I can get 500+ samples.

I see all sorts of places, even large organizations, using [surveymonkey.com](http://surveymonkey.com)

Reddit. One possibility is Redditpoll–although may be one question at a time:

You need to find an appropriate sub-reddit to post it in. However note you are going to have problems getting a representative sample.

And of course, the difficulty in getting a representative sample depends on what you want it to be representative of. Common choices include “All humans”, “All Americans”, “All Americans registered to vote”, “All Americans likely to vote”, “All people in the market for a particular product”, or “All people currently using a particular product”.

Because the one thing you \*don’t \*want is “All people who are motivated to answer that particular list of questions.” That will totally invalidate any conclusion you hope to make.
