Dear Sarah, I can not thankyou enough for your efforts in putting this quality content on youtube for free. Subscribed 👍👍

[@SarahDoody]

You're so welcome! Thanks for letting me know!

[@Spyqaws12]

I really liked the first part where you explained how you're trying to determine where the user is and where the user wants to be. It is only logical to determine the obstacles after finding these two points.

[@MariposaMarie_]

Thank you, Sarah. I've been following a lot of your content for some time now and every time I walk away learning something new!

[@fatimabaiyent.]

This is overwhelming - most surveys have more questions, that's alot of info to analyse. Good to know what UX really entails. Thanks.

[@CaptainLenK]

OMG this is a gold mine, thank you SO much, Sarah!

Hi Sarah! A little late on this video but just wanted to say thank you! I'm a product designer but I'm just starting to learn about UX research and these couple of days I've learned so much from your videos that I almost cry of excitement knowing you gave this away for free! It's all completely gold and I'm looking forward to apply all these practices, thank you for sharing!

[@SarahDoody]

Glad it was helpful!

[@soniasharifi6819]

Great video, I learnt a lot on how to interpret qualitative data. loved it, Sarah.

[@SarahDoody]

So glad!

[@Joanamadasun]

I do user research, but I’m definitely going to incorporate graphics into it like you did. I feel it will make it more engaging and people would be happy to pour out more of their thoughts.

[@SarahDoody]

Awesome to hear! Glad you found it helpful!

[@shammahadesiyan]

Hi Sarah, thank you so much for this video. I didn't want it to end This is an absolute gold mine of information. I usually ask myself why people don't leave long form answers on my surveys but now I know how to get this kind of answer. Thank you 😊

[@mattsh3336]

[@LazarusStr]

This was very helpful. You broke down your perspective well and introduced me to a new tool (the program to analyze words in one's text). I appreciate your efforts as it has given me direction as an aspiring UI/UX Designer 🌺

[@SarahDoody]

Glad it was helpful!

[@tamaghnachandra6776]

Sarah, this is amazing. I am trying to build a solution for a wicked problem. Before I start with user interviews, I want to do the survey to understand the target group and the present problems they may be facing. thank you for the step by step journey.

[@Kathleencarla09]

Sarah! This is absolutely a goldmine of valuable information. Thank you SO so much for sharing your personal story and how you used user research surveys in an actual real life example. I'm going to now look into your book and get it!! Excited to read :)

[@SarahDoody]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sekinatoloyede9262]

Thank you so much for this, have done research surveys before and with the new knowledge from you. I know I didn’t do it right and why I got the kind of results I got. Thank you I will be implementing this in my new survey questions.

[@SarahDoody]

Glad it was helpful!

Wow! Amazing work... You cannot imagine how much you helped me with this video. Thank you!

[@SarahDoody]

I'm thrilled to hear you found it helpful! Thanks for letting me know.

[@abououattara7351]

Fantastic job Sarah, could you do one a digital product?

[@saroman_valar]

thank you

[@jsummar]

This was very helpful, Sarah. Thank you for sharing. I'm struggling with some difficult stakeholders a lot. My organization is beyond low UX maturity, but they aren't high UX maturity, either. I feel like it's a real fight to gain access to some of our clients' users for research. They are all for user research, but when it comes down to asking to speak with the users, people drag their feet. Frustrating, as I feel I can't do a good job with my UX efforts and thus I feel that I'm being set up for failure, unknowingly by my stakeholders.

[@Joanamadasun]

Thank you so much Sarah❤

[@SarahDoody]

No problem 😊

[@MegaTintin84]

Hey Sarah, thank you so much for sharing this video. I'm still haven't had the opportunity to do a survey but this video was really helpful and inspiring. What I found really helpful is the importance of asking the right questions, how to write them so the participants give real life answers.

[@SarahDoody]

Glad it was helpful! EXACTLY!!! Asking the question in the right way can help encourage someone to recount a previous story rather than have them think "hmm, what might I do if this happened". A big difference between an event that happened versus a hypothetical response :)

[@vmorgan_io]

I took a lot of Notes. thank you very much.

[@chaitanya6737]

This is a great video on user research survey, learnt something related to user research. I think you can make better visuals on your presentation and good marketing, so that you can reach more audience.

[@johnterlajejr9008]

Thank you for sharing the helpful info!

[@juliuschooi6008]

Thanks Sarah for the insightful video. Would like to know more tips about how few UI/UX designers work together or UX project management related topic. Thanks!

[@Tigerworldindia]

i just want to say you are a genius.

[@SarahDoody]

Haha thanks for letting me know!

[@abudhabi9850]

Hi Sarah, amazing video, learned a lot, thank you!

[@minzhu6094]

Learned a lot! Thank you so much! Just in need as a student learning user research! Really curious how did you learn these skills such as the way to phrase research questions? is it by long time research experience or by reading any book? Is there any book you would recommend that could be used as golden rules in research? Thank you again! An audiance from Sydney:)

[@yairlaime1063]

Hi Sarah! I love your content, do you know another page to analyze text?

[@Dianateodoro92]

Very very useful!

[@SarahDoody]

Glad it was helpful!

[@suchitthakkar3408]

Hi Sarah ! Thanks for sharing your method of making survey forms. I had one question how can I get more responses to survey. What can we do get more people fill survey with limited resources

[@grape9317]

Hey, thanks for the video. One question: I see you can either conduct a survey or interview to understand your user persona. But when do you know which method to use?

[@tranz4mdone]

Hi Sarah, this video is amazing. Thanks for sharing it. Question...you mention this is a low cost solution, do you mind sharing an estimated cost and time consumption of this process? Thanks in advance for your response

[@juegosjuegos_pe]

How do you get a lot of answers ? They came from your site ? Ir do you Google ads ? To get a lot of visitors to your survey

[@bruttavoglia]

Hi Sarah! Awesome stream of informations, thanks! I'm a UX student who's got a little problem: how can you effectively get targeted people into complete the survey? I mean, take me: I've got no Facebook and I've tried my IG following (whose not so in target with my idea). 0 answers! 😂 Do you know any other ways to share surveys? Thanks, however, for your informations! 😉

[@rodrigoreyesmex]

How many surveys you recommend to do so it's something representative of a group of users?

[@fabyvaldez9186]

How do you decide what questions are important?

[@ctangster]

Are slides available for live attendees? (Sorry if you covered this already or answered the same question here)

[@SarahDoody]

No, the slides aren't available!
