A Get Fan Input Swap lets fans vote in a poll you create. Fans share their contact info to vote, so you get feedback and grow your list at the same time.
Step 1: Go to Swaps
In the left sidebar, click Swaps under Growth Tools.
Step 2: Create a new Swap
On your Swaps dashboard, click Create in the top right corner.
Step 3: Choose your goal
Select Get Fan Input and click Next.
Step 4: Set up your Swap
Enter a Swap Title that tells fans what they're voting on, like "Help me choose my next single."
Include a Swap Description is on by default. Use it to give fans more context, or turn it off.
Add a Cover Image for your Swap page. This is required. Use an image up to 10 MB.
Under What info should fans provide when they sign up?, Email Address and First Name are always required. You can also turn on Collect Phone Number and Collect Zip Code.
Click Next.
Step 5: Set up your poll
Enter your Poll Question. It needs to be between 10 and 200 characters.
Choose a Poll Type:
Text Poll: fans choose between written options.
Audio Poll: fans vote on audio tracks. Upload an audio file for each option and give it a name. You can add a thumbnail image too.
Image Poll: fans choose between images. Upload an image for each option.
Under Answer Options (2-5), fill in each option. Click Add Option for more, up to 5.
Images can be JPEG, PNG, or GIF, and audio can be MP3, WAV, or OGG. Each file can be up to 10 MB. Wait for each upload to finish before clicking Next.
â ď¸ Heads up: If you change the poll type after adding options, the options you already added will be removed.
Step 6: Limit access (optional)
On the Settings step, you can turn on Set an end date or Set a capacity limit. After the end date, or once the limit is reached, fans can still join your list but can't vote. Leave both off if you don't need them, and click Next.
Step 7: Choose what's next for your fans (optional)
Turn on Add a banner to your landing page to point fans somewhere after they vote. Fill in the Banner Headline (up to 40 characters), Supporting text (up to 65 characters), and choose where to Send fans to: Your Channel or a Custom Link.
âšď¸ Note: Custom Link is a Starter Plan feature.
Step 8: Customize your Swap (optional)
Before publishing, you can click Appearance or Connections in the left sidebar to change your colors, add a Meta Pixel, or send voters to a Google Sheet, including their poll answers. Both are Starter Plan features, and you can try them free for 14 days. See Connect Your Swaps to Google Sheets.
Step 9: Publish
Click Publish in the top right. You'll see Your swap is LIVE! along with your Swap link. Copy it to share, click Continue Editing to make changes, or click Exit to Dashboard.
â ď¸ Heads up: Swaps aren't saved as drafts. If you click Cancel or leave the page before publishing, your Swap is discarded and you'll need to start over.
