Read More - Jotform Aiagent / Index: 7February, 2025Today’s forward-looking businesses, from restaurants and fashion retailers to SaaS companies and e-commerce giants, are jumping on the AI agent bandwagon. At my online form company, Jotform, we’re also on the verge of releasing AI agents, with an eye toward better serving users. Here are some key ways that AI agents enhance customer engagement.
Today, AI agents fall into three main categories: Automation Agents, Conversational Agents, and Multi-Agent Platforms. Below, I’ll break down each type based on the categories, and monthly search volume, and share key takeaways.
Read More - The Top 150 Ai Agents / Index: 9February, 2025Aytekin Tank is the founder of Jotform, an automation enthusiast, and an author. Founded in 2006, Jotform is the pioneering WYSIWYG online form builder, which has grown to serve over 25 million users worldwide and employs a team of more than 650. In 2016, Entrepreneur Magazine named Jotform one of the “Best Privately-Owned Companies in America.”
It’s exciting to come up with a product or service that you think the world could use. Validating your idea is the process of determining if there’s a need for your product or service in your target market. In other words, it’s a way to gauge whether people will actually become paying customers.
Looking back, I recognize how close friendships can be a lifeline for entrepreneurs, who embark on what tends to be a solo journey. Founders often fight the overwhelming demands of running a business by pairing down their lives and reducing energy spent on non-work activities. But successful entrepreneurship also requires balance. Here are three reasons why friendship is critical for all entrepreneurs and business leaders to embrace.
According to a survey from Deloitte, 77 percent of respondents said they’ve experienced burnout at their current job, to troubling repercussions: 91 percent report that having an unmanageable amount of stress negatively impacts their work quality, and 83 percent say it negatively impacts their personal relationships. While there are lots of factors that may have a hand in why you feel this way, there’s reason for hope: AI can actually keep burnout at bay.
Read More - How Ai Can Help Combat Burnout / Index: 13September, 2024Younger employees aren’t hardwired to do the bare minimum—a tumultuous professional landscape has disillusioned many of them. It falls on leaders to proactively work to understand Gen Z and in doing so, transform their impact on the workplace from minimal to meaningful. Here are some of the ways that Gen Z’s unique blend of traits can benefit their organizations.
Fortunately for today’s aspiring entrepreneurs, the barriers to starting and planning a business have never been lower. Thanks to AI tools like ChatGPT, founders have efficient, relatively low-cost resources at their fingertips. Had ChatGPT been around nearly two decades ago, when I bootstrapped my online form business, I may have quit my day job sooner. Here are 9 ChatGPT prompts that today’s entrepreneurs can use to write a business plan.
Great CEOs aren't born, they're made. But what separates a successful founder-turned-CEO from a failed one? As someone who remains the head of my company, Jotform, after founding it nearly 20 years ago, I've got some insight into what it takes to make the change.
As AI changes the way we live and work, it’s worth revisiting Edison’s approach to tinkering. For organizations, this doesn’t just mean from the top down—as the head of a company, I believe teams themselves need to spend time establishing how these new tools can be most beneficial to their operations. I’m certainly not alone: According to one survey, 44 percent of company leaders believe their employees need to develop new skills to keep up with the AI-driven business environment.
Leaders with inflated egos can cause irreparable harm to workers and companies. Less willing to entertain contradictory ideas, they stifle innovation and make poorer-quality decisions. Because their egos crave positive attention, they’re susceptible to manipulation. What’s worse, the traits of egocentric leaders often trickle down through an organization, potentially undermining its very fabric. That’s why it’s key for leaders to practice leaving their egos at the door. Here are five strategies for releasing your sense of self-importance and leading with less ego.
Founders often don’t like to think of themselves as “owners.” Cars have owners, to return to the example above. Small corner stores have owners. Pets have owners. The term “owner” can feel minimized, too inconsequential for what a founder wants to achieve. And yet, the concept of ownership is key to our sense of satisfaction and wellbeing. Here’s why.
On a personal level, automation can help eliminate boring, tedious tasks and leave more time and mental energy for meaningful projects. ChatGPT is a great resource for incorporating the latest automation tools into your daily processes. Here are nine ChatGPT prompts to get you started.
With Gen Zers expected to surpass boomers in the full-time workplace this year, business leaders can’t afford to ignore their unique challenges and strengths. Understanding and addressing the newest generation of employees will not only help companies attract and retain Gen Z talent but also boost productivity across the board. At Jotform, which I founded in 2006, digital tools form an important part of our strategy for bridging generational gaps. Here’s a closer look at how.
Hiring is an intensely personal process. That’s why I think AI is so well-suited to make it easier. Sound counterintuitive? Read on.
That “wait and see” model may have been prudent for a social media platform, but AI is not that. Like the internet before it, AI is completely transforming how work is done. With the AI market predicted to reach a value of more than $500 billion in 2024, leaders who are not actively integrating its services into their businesses are at serious risk of falling behind. If you’re holding out for a new development or ideal moment to get started, consider Google, which by 2015 already had more than 2,700 AI projects underway. There’s no reason to wait until technology advances further before making the leap.
Jotform is the simplest proposal tool on this list. It's also the only one that offers a free plan. When you put simple and free together, you get a very popular proposal builder.
Read More - Best Proposal Software / Index: 24August, 2024Jotform is a no-code tool for creating interactive forms, surveys, and quizzes. It’s great for collecting data in a more engaging and user-friendly way, helping businesses get better responses from their audience.
Jotform is one of the best productivity sites I’ve found, and it’s come in handy for many uses, like hosting job applications, questionnaires, and polls. It can also help you create fillable PDFs. Jotform is free, you just need an account to share your completed form.
81% of those who have integrated AI tools to automate certain tasks report increased productivity. So why the disconnect? Aytekin Tank, CEO and founder of Jotform, attributes this slow adoption of AI to leaders taking a cautious “wait and see” approach. He explains that AI is revolutionizing work processes across all demographics and requires a fundamental shift in thinking about daily tasks. "Unsure of the extent to which AI will transform the workplace, some leaders are hesitant to shift their approach toward AI," he says.
At Jotform, we’ve integrated AI into processes throughout every business function. It has transformed our team dynamics, improving communication and boosting productivity on tasks that matter. Here’s a closer look at how.
Successful CEOs don’t develop overnight. But founders who make the transition can use many of the same skills that they used to build their companies to eventually lead them. Here’s why building a business is actually a masterclass in leadership.
At Jotform, we aim to cultivate a collaborative culture for all employees, including the youngest hires, by understanding and respecting their values and leveraging their strengths. It’s helped us to attract and retain Gen Z talent, and keep them engaged. Compared to other generations, young millennials and Gen Z employees have experienced the biggest drop in engagement since the pandemic, according to a recent Gallup survey. Understanding young employees should be a top priority for leaders.
While Sisyphus had no assistance to lighten the burden, we do: AI tools. They can’t push boulders (yet) or conjure up more hours in the day, but they can transform your approach to work by helping you manage your time more effectively and automate tasks that don’t require your full attention. They can change how you view your to-do list, from a source of stress to a strategic guide. Here are five ChatGPT prompts to help you master time management and conquer your workload once and for all.
It doesn’t make for a catchy headline, but a side hustle is a reliable path to entrepreneurship—it’s the chosen route for about one in three Americans, according to a recent survey. It worked for me, too. Bootstrapping with a paycheck is not only less risky, it can also result in a stronger, more sustainable business. What’s more, nowadays, AI tools like ChatGPT make it easier and more cost effective than ever.
Tank adds: "Employees will need to build some slack into their schedules. But once employees set their automation machines in motion, automating more and more of their daily tasks, they'll recapture time for more meaningful tasks. And as I've seen with our employees at Jotform, when employees aren't drowning in busywork, they have more time and mental space for creative work."
As a business owner, I’m mindful that this time of year can be acutely stressful for employees. Here are some strategies we use to help employees avoid burnout throughout the dog days of summer.
Carving out a good life using the traditional path is getting harder. Here's why being your own boss is the key to satisfaction.
The concept of a “second brain”—a repository for all the information our primary brains lack the ability to hold—has been around for some time. Now, AI is revolutionizing the way we build these second, auxiliary brains. Here’s how it works.
One of the biggest barriers to the widespread adoption of AI is leaders taking a “wait and see” approach, says Aytekin Tank, CEO and founder of Jotform, an online form builder.
I am by no means saying that bootstrapping is easy. And many entrepreneurs are not in a financial position to use their own funds to start a business. But if you’re wondering whether to toss your hat in the startup ring, despite the state of VC funding, here are three reasons why bootstrapping can be an asset, not a liability, for your business.
The AI train has already left the station but it’s not too late to get on board. My company Jotform has been using AI in its processes for the past 4 years. Here’s how we continue to integrate the latest AI and automation tools to help our employees do their best work.
But for bootstrapped founders, learning is everything. In fact, I’d say bootstrapping and a growth mindset go hand-in-hand. Here’s how.
In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, government agencies are under increasing pressure to modernize their processes and enhance service delivery. Traditional paper-based methods and static PDFs are no longer viable solutions in an age that demands efficiency, security, and agility. Enter Jotform Government, a groundbreaking product specifically designed to meet the unique needs of state and local government agencies as well as state-sponsored educational organizations.
Instead, leaders should be focusing on high-impact work, like driving the company’s strategic direction and figuring out where to allocate resources—in other words, the type of work that only they can do. Here’s how to make sure your limited, incredibly precious time is being used wisely.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Jotform, a leading online form builder, is proud to announce the launch of Jotform Government, a new product tailored specifically for state and local government agencies, as well as state-sponsored educational organizations. Designed to replace outdated paper and PDF forms while providing best-in-class data security, Jotform Government offers a robust solution to streamline operations and improve service delivery.
The AI takeover seems mostly unfounded. According to the World Economic Forum’s latest Future of Jobs Report, 50% of organizations expect AI to drive job growth. That said, the most competitive professionals in the future will be those who possess uniquely human skills that AI cannot replicate. Here are some of those skills and how they can be applied.
AI’s impact is already massive, rapidly transforming the workplace. But we’re still at the early stages, trying to strike a balance between harnessing AI without leaning too much on it and compromising quality. At my company Jotform, we have incorporated AI tools to automate tedious tasks, or as I call it, “busywork,” and free up employees to focus on the meaningful work that only humans can do.
Being an introvert ultimately helped me grow my company. People may gravitate towards extroverts and view them as more charismatic, but true leadership depends on qualities like empathy and strong communication skills—traits that are more valuable than ever in the age of AI. The old dictator style of leadership is obsolete. Here’s a closer look at the qualities today’s leaders need.
Jotform offers a versatile platform for creating online forms and collecting and managing data easily and efficiently. Our core product is the world’s most powerful form builder, featuring a myriad of integration and customization options, as well as data enablement options. Not only can you collect all the information you may need, but we give you the tools to manage and process it all with our free online platform.
In the U.S., professionals already spend an average of two to three hours per day checking their work emails. To prevent emails from stealing more of your time, let ChatGPT do some of the heavy lifting.
Leaders are responsible for establishing clear boundaries between work and personal life. In my experience as CEO and founder of Jotform, I'm convinced that maintaining a work-life balance and knowing when to step back can help you do your job better — and make your company even stronger. Here's why.
It’s important to maintain a boundary between workspaces and living spaces, which becomes challenging when people are working from home. For this reason and others, I advocate for a full return to the office.
Just because many businesses fail doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t try—especially if you have a great idea. What’s more, AI tools like ChatGPT are making it easier and less expensive than ever to start a business—even if you want to kick things off as a side hustle, as I did with my company nearly two decades ago. Had ChatGPT been around then, I probably would have quit my day job sooner. If you’re considering launching a startup, here are seven ChatGPT prompts to help you each step of the way.
If you’re launching a business or revamping your existing strategy, ChatGPT can be a valuable (and low-cost) tool in your arsenal. Here are some prompts to get started today.
Business tycoon Aytekin Tank, founder of Jotform, cautions startups about over-dependence on venture capitalist (VC) funding, using the failure of Theranos as an example. While VC funding may give a significant push to startups, it invites heightened expectations that could endanger long-term survival.
While ChatGPT can be an impressive imitator, it can never generate your unique voice and perspective. It can, however, be a powerful tool for improving your writing, whether you’re penning business articles or important emails. It all starts with the right prompts. Here are seven that you can use to level up your writing skills.
I founded my company Jotform over 18 years ago. With no outside funding, it’s been a slow climb at times, but today, we have over 25 million users worldwide. I learned a lot about bootstrapping and how it creates the right mix of pressure, thrift, and creativity for developing great, profitable products. Here’s a closer look at why VC funding can cause startups to make bad products.

The startup norm of "move fast and break things" is short-sighted. Here is why being patient will serve your business in the long run.
For entrepreneurs, success is often defined by certain well-worn metrics—funding rounds, revenue growth, ROIs, IPOs, etc. But as a founder, I can promise you that fulfillment doesn’t happen by hitting some magic number or target. Here’s how to think about it instead.
If you’ve ever studied a second language, you’ll probably agree: the more you learn, the more you realize there is to learn. The process can be frustrating, like a spool of thread rolling out before you. But even if the road seems endless sometimes, it’s rewarding. The more language skills you acquire—vocabulary, grammar, slang—the richer the communication becomes. Learning to communicate with LLMs like ChatGPT is no different.
In many ways, founding a company requires a different skill set than running it as a CEO. As your business grows, it’s important to do an honest assessment of your strengths and weaknesses, and figure out two things: How you want to spend your time, and how you can be most beneficial to the company.
As CEO of my company, I understand that with no strategy in place, transparency can interfere with our goals, causing more damage than good. Here are three tips for finding balance and practicing candor with your team.
Seeing introversion as a career hurdle is more of a self-fulfilling prophecy than reality. Being an introvert can be as great of an asset as being an extrovert. It comes down to taking a page from the Delphic oracle—“knowing thyself”—and understanding how to maximize your efficacy using your unique strengths.
I’ve always been a proponent of slow, deliberate growth. As the bootstrapped solo founder of Jotform, it comes with the territory. But between the growing power of online tools, including AI, and the increasing prevalence of contractors, there’s less reason than ever for entrepreneurs to take on a co-founder or rush into hiring. In fact, I’d argue that there’s never been a better time to be a solo founder. Here are some ways “invisible teams” are changing the way we work.
I’m a proponent of automating your busywork and my team regularly uses ChatGPT to help us brainstorm our next big idea. It doesn’t do the work for us, but it offers additional possibilities to consider. If you’re looking for a profitable startup idea, here are some ChatGPT prompts to get the wheels turning.
Self-reflection is important. Self-awareness is an important trait in a leader. But rumination — which the APA defines as obsessional thinking involving excessive, repetitive thoughts or themes that interfere with other forms of mental activity — doesn't serve you as an individual or your organization, as its leader. Entrepreneurs are often obsessed with their businesses down to the last detail, and perfectionists are more likely to ruminate. If you're caught in negative thinking patterns, here are some strategies to help break the cycle.
Bootstrapping affords you a crash course in growing a business. Receiving VC funding, on the other hand, is like starting a computer game from level three before learning how to complete levels one and two. Slow growth is smart growth.

Teamwork can have a multiplier effect, cross-pollinating team members’ skills and knowledge. But before you begin corralling employees into distinct units, remember that collaboration can come at a cost. Teams don’t always work out, according to J. Richard Hackman, the late Harvard organizational psychology professor and leading expert on teams. Hackman’s research demonstrated the surprising ways that teamwork can hurt productivity. That said, certain strategies have been shown to improve the efficacy of teams. Here are some tips for strategically creating teams that boost organizational productivity and innovation—rather than chip away at it.
Spending quality time alone is crucial for deep work, but you have to know how to manage your mind. Here's how to do it.
Some leaders fear that employees are unwilling to return to the office. Others cite productivity bumps of WFH. Others point to eliminated costs of rent and office equipment. But those reasons may be shortsighted. If you’re focused on sustainable, long-term growth, there are strong arguments for returning to the office.
Jotform, the leading online form builder and automation platform, today announced that it surpassed 25 million global users. This marks a 25 percent increase in year-over-year customer acquisition and continues Jotform's growth across multiple sectors of the business, including user count, revenue, enterprise customer adoption and product innovation.

Jotform, which automates the process of making web forms, first sprang into action when the aftershocks subsided. “We have three offices in Turkey: Ankara, Izmir, and Istanbul,” says Burak Cifikli, chief operating officer of Jotform. The closest office that Jotform had to the epicenter of the quake was in Ankara, some 430 miles away, but the scale of the disruption was such that even they were affected.
At my company, everyone works in small, cross-functional teams, which can also deepen relationships. For example, a product team might include a designer, developer, UX pro, and a content strategist. These combinations strengthen connections among individuals and different business units.

It’s imperative to follow all HIPAA regulations and expectations when collecting, storing, and using survey data. Another challenge is ensuring that the data collected is accurate.

This past summer, my company, Jotform, opened its sixth office worldwide in Istanbul, Turkey. We’ve grown from a small group of dedicated individuals back in 2006, to a thriving team of hundreds today. The glue holding us all together has been automation.
I've been CEO of my company, Jotform, for more than 16 years now, and I've seen the above scenario play out more times than I'd like to count. And what I've discovered is the same as what Harvard Business Review contributor Helen Lee Bouygues points out when she writes that the root cause of these organizational failures comes down to a lack of critical thinking.

And it was also up to me to figure out a variety of decisions. This meant that I needed to leave my comfort zone and come up with an entirely new way of leading.

As CEO of Jotform, a company with six offices in four countries, I can relate to the added stress of managing people across digital channels—not to mention various time zones.
At Jotform, it's been important for me to foster a culture that promotes a "middle path." This means holistically incorporating both our mental and physical well-being — a path where you don't have to choose between your work, home or social life.

When I first founded my startup, Jotform, 16 years ago — I was over-eager and ambitious. I was also a self-proclaimed perfectionist and this didn't help with attempting to keep my impulses in check. But over time, as the pressure of growing my business became more intense, I made one of the best decisions for myself and my professional career: beginning a regular practice of mindfulness.

Why else would I become an entrepreneur? Building a company and a product is one thing, but creating an environment of trust with people you value — that's something you earn as a leader.
When I first founded my company, I was laser-focused on accumulating as much knowledge as possible about the industry. So I read every business book I could get my hands on.

My passion for building my company, Jotform, was still in its initial stages at that point. I had yet to learn what work/life balance meant, or how working through evenings, weekends and vacations was a surefire path to collapsing from exhaustion.
It's one of the biggest hurdles I've seen in the business world: leaders struggling to break down their thoughts into easy, translatable ideas. I used to be guilty of this myself.

This was one of the hardest things to accept when I first founded my startup, Jotform. I thought that if I could think up every scenario, I could magically find the right solutions.

I’ve written before about how I believe self-awareness is key for innovation, and one of the reasons is because it allows us to overcome mental challenges and not become self-absorbed.

We do that by providing in-depth security awareness training to all our employees and reminding them through various email campaigns how they can help keep Jotform safe.
At my company, we’re fortunate to have our San Francisco office located near the beautiful Embarcadero, which is a three-mile-long seawall where people can engage and listen thoughtfully.

Entrepreneurship is a balancing act, and one of the questions that comes up again and again is which is more important: Creativity or hard work? Frustrating as it may be to hear, the answer is both.

Something I’ve learned while growing my company over the last 15 years is that feedback isn’t effective when it inflates — or bruises — someone’s ego. Just as my supervisor went through a list of all my shortcomings all those years ago, the culture I’m striving to create with my business is the exact opposite of this.
As CEO of my company Jotform, the past couple of years have been exceptionally challenging. But during these difficult times, I believe that positive thinking is more critical than ever. Luckily, it’s possible to control the narrative in our heads—not necessarily to stop it, but to reign it in when it becomes too pessimistic.
Our friends at Jotform offer employee forms as well. Some of the forms they offer include ones related to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) as well as performance reviews and exit interviews. Jotform also allows you the flexibility to edit their forms to create something that fits with your organization’s needs.
Founded in 2006 and still bootstrapped 16 years later, Jotform has grown into a profitable, well-known SaaS brand. In 2022, Jotform’s 14 million users achieved 1 billion total form submissions from 22 million forms. In addition, the company has maintained 50 percent year-over-year revenue growth for seven consecutive years now.
The word “passive” gets a bad rap. But I’m not referring to becoming a conformist who lacks initiative. What I am advocating for, however, is embracing quiet reflection and moments of doing absolutely nothing.
In my early days of building Jotform, I’d often joke that I needed a clone. But what I’ve learned since is that it’s not more “fuel” we need — it’s to stop seeking more energy in order to hit peak productivity.
The next time you plan to share data, consider putting it into a digestible and understandable explanatory visualization format. You’ll improve your chances of educating your audience while helping others see why the data matters and what it means — rather than just a bunch of numbers.
Even spending 10 minutes of your day assisting someone with a difficult project can give you the inspiration you need for your own workload. I’ve witnessed this firsthand at my own company, where teams go out of their way to be supportive to one another.
Since launching my company Jotform 15 years ago, I’ve had to learn how to manage the inherent stress and uncertainty of being an entrepreneur, especially in a market with daunting competitors like Google. The pandemic forced me to confront those hard-earned lessons all over again and to figure out how to continue growing despite the uncertainty.
Telecommuting can’t successfully exist without a clearly defined policy in place. This is true whether you’re allowing employees to work from home, work remotely, or embrace a hybrid work model that merges the two.
Jotform used drag-and-drop technology before it was a thing. That was our angle, and I applied it to pitch news sites, write blog posts and develop PR plans. Consider what people care about most, and emphasize how your startup supports their busy lives.
Jotform’s drag-and-drop form builder allows you and your HR team to create intuitive forms within a couple of minutes (without technical know-how or endless cursing at your computer screen). And, with the Power-Up, you can build, share, and use your forms without leaving your Trello card.

Our management styles are pretty dissimilar: For one thing, his workforce is 100 percent remote, and he’s executed it in a very different way than I have with my team at Jotform.
Virtual learning removes the traditional restrictions of the classroom, even without a pandemic shuttering the doors. COVID-19 sent educators scrambling to find new methods for how to engage students when both teachers and students were working from home.
Any entrepreneur or small business owner will tell you that running a business is a lot of work, which is why most of them bristle at the idea that they start a nonprofit. But starting a nonprofit can do more than just provide a way to use your talents for the good of humanity. It can do wonders for your business, too.
Read More - Form Nonprofit Corporation / Index: 299December, 2021A dedicated social media hire can solve this problem and help organizations grow platforms, keep tabs on social analytics, be part of industry-specific conversations, experiment with new platforms and trends, and more — all of which contributes to a stronger brand and more leads for your company. We've done it at Jotform, and it's worth it.
Read More - Social Media Predictions 2017 / Index: 300December, 2021At my company, Jotform, we start new hires off with “Box A” projects, like fixing minor bugs, while they get the hang of things. That said, most of us should avoid sinking too much time on Box A.
Making progress is all about reaching strategic milestones. But when you’re doing something as overwhelming as running a business, it can be easy to get pulled in too many different directions, which keeps you from feeling like you’re getting anything done.
The most critical thing to remember about developing a customized e-commerce site is that every decision will be up to your team. That could be either an exciting challenge or a time-consuming roadblock. If it's the latter, consider using a different platform for online selling: social media.
Nonprofits of any size can easily and affordably implement these digital tools, and some online form platforms even offer nonprofits a special discount rate for higher-volume usage. Once you’ve integrated your online donation processes, you’ll also be able to generate reports that can give you more insight into your donor base.
For a web design business, you need the goals or budget for the site. Check out this Jotform template for additional ideas. With a CRM and sales and marketing software that’s integrated with landing pages and forms (like Keap), you can build an intake form directly in the same app.
Read More - New Client Intake Form Template / Index: 305November, 2021I’ve been CEO of my company, Jotform, for over 15 years. We’ve grown from a small team to more than 300 employees, and never have I understood this need to lead with empathy more than the current moment we’re living.

Its suite of SaaS products includes a solution for building forms, as well as Tables, Mobile Forms, PDF Editor and Approvals.
Data fluency is the key to thriving in a global economy, but too many companies today are far from data fluent. More than one-third of companies haven’t fully exploited the data in their arsenal, and fewer than half say they might put together a plan to use data analysis tools.
Leading online forms SaaS solution company Jotform released details this past week that it now has a no-code app builder that anybody can use. The new platform—called Jotform Apps—will allow users to create portals for internal teams, bundle forms, build apps for businesses, among many other things.
Determining how to track productivity can be difficult. There are a few critical flaws in the time-tracking approach. One of the biggest is a fundamental misunderstanding of productivity. Plenty of people equate productivity with efficiency, but they’re not the same thing. Productivity is output quantified, such as the number of widgets sold per week; efficiency involves streamlining systems and processes.
Hiring developers is not cheap. They are some of the highest-paid employees at your company, so you should save them for the big stuff. Plus, if you use a free no-code app builder, such as Jotform Apps, you won’t have to pay a dime for the apps your department needs.
Being a transparent leader means being open and honest with your team. It means keeping employees informed and welcoming their feedback. Your ability to listen during stressful moments and reflect on what’s been said will go a long way toward cultivating trust.
Our company, Jotform, has been ramping up our video efforts on YouTube. We have over 16,000 subscribers and have seen a huge increase in site traffic and signups from investing in video on this platform.

At Jotform, we’re lucky to have a low staff turnover with an annual churn rate of only 5%. This is key because I believe a calm, warm, non-threatening environment is massively important for both productivity and longevity — for new and old hires alike.
As someone with very little coding expertise, I love when I come across tools that give you the opportunity to build something special with extra support. So if you’ve ever thought about making an app for your classroom, school, or district, Jotform Apps has you covered.

At my company, we give regular surveys to gain feedback on how people feel about their workloads and our culture’s work/life balance. Are we being flexible where it matters? Are we giving employees autonomy over their jobs—and acknowledging good work? These are questions that will help you determine what’s causing the most stress for your team and take steps to ward off burnout before it takes root.
The good news is that free and low-cost digital forms are available online. Hospitality businesses like hotels, restaurants, etc., can deploy digital forms quickly and easily — no coding skills required.
Ideal for businesses of all sizes, Jotform helps companies create survey forms without any knowledge of CSS, JavaScript or other programming languages – though if they do, there’s plenty of scope for diving into the code and tweaking designs.
Read More - Best Lead Generation Tools / Index: 321November, 2021Jotform is one of the most popular online form builders, used by everyone from beginners to advanced users. Though it comes with a simple interface and a drag-and-drop builder, there are some lesser-known features that can improve your forms.
At my company, Jotform, we recently rebranded for the first time in over a decade. It required a considerable effort from the entire team but in the end, it was well worth it. Whether you’re considering a light refresh or a total brand overhaul, here are some tips to keep in mind.
While I am fully on board for planning for what the future holds, I believe all of this energy is better spent on the present. By taking things one step at a time and focusing on what they can improve right now, leaders will be better equipped to navigate an ever-changing landscape.
But one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned in building my business over the past 15 years has been straying far from “productivity culture.” For me, being busy is not synonymous with success
Jotform’s rebranding reflects the company’s evolution but also its dedication to its root cause: to provide users with quality, powerful forms. Jotform may have changed its logo and branding, but this is evidence of the company’s growth and success.
After 15 years and 10 million users, Jotform has decided to rebrand itself. They changed their logo, tagline, and product visuals. Doing this has improved the way users perceive their brand. Their new image exudes a more modern, friendly, and professional vibe.
For many of us in the startup world, it’s tempting to want to rush to do several things at once. But building a company doesn’t mean taking on a dozen different projects out of the gate — it means focusing on doing one thing well. That’s the philosophy I used to build my company, Jotform.
Branding that reflects the old lineup of products or services should be refreshed to more accurately represent current offerings. This was certainly the case for us at Jotform. We launched in 2006 as an online form builder. However, 15 years and 10 million users later, our product has evolved and expanded, and so have our customers’ perceptions.
Jotform's social media calendar isn't just visually appealing, it's also functional. The tabs at the top reveal your social plan for every channel you execute your strategy on, including in-person or virtual events.
Read More - Social Media Calendar Tools / Index: 330October, 2021Educators will have to focus on the advantages of the virtual classroom system, ways to improve virtual learning as a whole, and the quality of online education. By learning to engage virtual students in digital classrooms, educators will be able to build relationships with and teach students well–no matter what the world looks like as the rest of 2021 rolls on.
Jotform’s analysis found that the three most popular mobile form types are report forms (22%), consent and acknowledgement forms (20.8%), and registration forms (17.7%). Other commonly used forms include application forms, appointment and order forms, and survey forms.
Jotform rebranded with this vision: “Powerful forms get it done.” Jotform has always positioned itself as the “Easiest Online Form Builder,” but today it’s much more than that. Its updated tagline and brand are a reflection of its growth as a company.
Read More - Press Release / Index: 333October, 2021Jotform, the leading online forms SaaS solution, has announced a huge milestone — it embarked on its 15th year in business, crossed 10 million users worldwide and refreshed its brand, the biggest change to the company’s image since 2006.
My company, Jotform, has more than 300 employees and over 10 million users. Growing it to the size it is today would not have happened had I never learned to work with my own rhythms — and allowed my employees to do the same.
Jotform is an excellent alternative to Google Forms and Microsoft Forms because it offers capabilities that Google Forms and Microsoft Forms don't offer. For example, without the need for a third-party addon you can set limits on the number of times a response choice can be chosen
When customers click on a form that prefills with their data, the company sends a signal that they value their customers and their customers’ time. Filling out the form is a less time-consuming task, so customers are more likely to follow through.
As CEO of my company, Jotform, this past year has certainly been challenging. With over 300 employees and 9.1 million users, I’ve had to reevaluate the normal way of doing things and figure out how to prioritize competing business and family obligations. But as I’ve found, not sacrificing my personal life is the key to doing great work at the office.
For over a decade, Jotform has allowed millions of people to make their own myriad kinds of web forms using our no-code products. In doing so, we’ve witnessed firsthand how giving our users countless customizable options has encouraged their creativity and innovation.
With Jotform Approvals, it’s easy to create approval workflows for your content marketing processes. Whether you’re writing blog posts, publishing case studies, recording videos, or simply posting to social media, there’s a good chance that at least a few of these marketing assets will need to be reviewed by several people.
Knowing when you work best — your “peak hours” — is one of the most effective ways to supercharge your productivity. I discovered my natural rhythms through lots of trial and error. But learning when I work best and leveraging that time is what has allowed me to grow my business, Jotform, into the company it is today.
My business, Jotform, has grown slowly by design. This has allowed me incredible freedom — my business is mine to run as I choose, no investor satisfaction required. It’s also allowed me to have a rich personal life outside of work, with time to spend with my family and even take a few months off each year.

All the more reason to make sure you’re spending a balanced amount of time with all your employees.
We ask questions all the time. When is the presentation? Did you get my notes from the meeting? These are straightforward, fact-finding questions, and they get straight-forward, fact-based answers. (It’s at 3. Yes.) It shouldn’t be surprising that my company, Jotform, sees more than two million user questions per hour.
At my internet company, we’ve created policies that prioritize mental well-being and we also communicate these regularly. What this looks like for us is doing what we can to remove stress by setting realistic expectations about workloads, and also recognizing what can slide if necessary.
In the healthcare sector collecting data via a mobile device has become increasingly important during the pandemic, with the need for touchless forms and data collection through QR codes. Offline data collection has become just as critical for COVID-19 testing and vaccination sites as well as in-person doctor visits both in urban and rural areas.
Entrepreneurs often think of themselves as lone wolves, but it doesn’t have to be that way. No matter how much experience and passion you have, there is always something to be learned from someone else.
Jotform is an online form builder that allows you to create custom online forms. It has an intuitive drag-and-drop interface that makes it easy to build forms. It also has more than 10,000 templates from registration forms, surveys, polls, application forms, and so much more.
As CEO of my company Jotform, I make recharging a pinnacle of my workday, and I encourage our employees to follow suit. But one size doesn’t fit all. What works for me or what works for Angelou might not fit your style. Here and four things to keep in mind when figuring out your rest routine.

Beyond that, boredom can also help foster creativity. On more than one occasion, I’ve come up with ideas for my company, Jotform, while resisting the urge to look at my phone and letting my mind wander instead.
Companies that use their workflow management software innovatively are in a position to identify further opportunities for workflow automation. Because workflow automation handles certain tasks without human intervention, it frees up workers and reduces the chance of error.
According to JotForm’s data, collected from May 2020 to May 2021, more than six million people throughout the United States submitted a screening form. One notable point highlights that New York had the most COVID-19 screening submissions while South Dakota had the least.
Understanding employee preferences and safely managing reopening will be critical. In both cases, secure digital forms can play a key role, and now is the perfect time to think about how digital forms can help lighten the load for a seamless reopening.

Ask anyone on my team and they’ll tell you: family is my number one priority. The only way that’s feasible, while leading a company of over 300+ employees, is by allowing myself flexibility.
I’d say the biggest mistake is not customizing the pitch. It seems simple enough, but so many communications professionals take the shortcut of just copying and pasting the same pitch to every media outlet to save time, and reporters can sense that. All it takes is five minutes to learn about a reporter’s writing and background, so reference that and modify your pitch to match their interests precisely.
Creating a weekly check-in form that allows your staff to sum up how the week went, anything they're unsure about, or what they think could be improved is a great help to camp directors. There are some great camp management forms that can be used throughout the training process and beyond.

With more than nine million users, Jotform has clearly scratched an itch that plenty of people had. I might not have started with a particular devotion to online forms, but I do feel strongly about creating a quality product that makes people’s lives easier.
Jotform is a full-featured online form builder that makes it easier for entrepreneurs, small businesses, marketing agencies, ecommerce brands, and other enterprises to create robust online forms and collect important data.
Read More - Jotform Review / Index: 366July, 2021Instead of signing up students in person and handling payments for events and merchandise manually, administrators are using digital forms. Schools can brand the forms for a professional look and feel, and once administrators create a custom template, they can reuse it for other purposes.
With an approval workflow, there shouldn’t be any questions about who is responsible for giving approval, when to expect a decision and what the next steps are in the process. It’s all about creating order in a sequence of actions that could easily become disorderly without a framework.
At my company, Jotform, I’ve witnessed countless instances of my team taking this principle to heart. They’ve been thoughtful of each other during meetings, have reached out to one another during a particularly challenging week, and noted colleague’s strengths during our Demo Days.
Using a survey platform allows you to automate aspects of the process and gather data efficiently. It also helps make the process more manageable. For example, most survey platforms allow you to export results into a PDF. You can then use a free PDF editor to emphasize specific findings and share the results with key stakeholders.
Online donation forms are a simple and effective way to raise money for your nonprofit. They provide an opportunity for potential donors to give with little to no friction, and most online forms can seamlessly process one-time or recurring payments.

With JotForm’s free Student Survey Program, students worldwide can simply and effectively conduct research without any financial investment. Use cases include doing market research, collecting demographic information, getting group project feedback, checking in on student stress levels and more.
The rest of the time, though, I felt like I’d been thrown in the deep end without a flotation device. I was doing marketing, operations, finances and even some ad hoc design work, none of which I’d ever done before but was now my responsibility. Even though Jotform has grown into a bona fide tech company, at the beginning, it was just me on a laptop trying to figure stuff out.
It’s crucial for managers and mid-level leaders to create an environment of openness and honesty. For example, at my technology company, we make it a point to let employees know from the start what’s expected of them, in terms of both formal and informal communication. Setting these ground rules in advance helps equalize the playing field — whether we’re sharing physical space or not.
These are low-risk tasks with an equally low payoff, but that doesn’t mean they’re useless. For example, when a developer joins our company and starts Jotform bootcamp, we ask them to tackle minor software bugs. New hires need to get up to speed before making critical product changes, so these low-pressure, low-stress tasks can be a great way to learn.
Jotform gets the top spot for the minimalist bride and groom who want a solid all-in-one solution. First, it’s a great way to capture RSVPs, dinner choices, addresses, and even song requests. Just choose from one of the 120+ wedding-related templates, either for collecting info yourself or to share with your vendors or wedding planner.
When I first launched Jotform, I was responsible for every aspect of my company, from engineering to marketing. It was a humbling learning experience, and it helped inform what I was looking for when it came time to hire a team and delegate the tasks that frankly, I didn’t excel at.
When it comes to mid-level hires, what I’d like to highlight is the importance of hiring along with your values. Since growing my company from a solo venture into a firm with millions of users worldwide, I’ve learned a lot about the hiring process. Regardless of experience, what takes priority is to always choose positive, collaborative people.
Jotform is a user-friendly and convenient tool that turns form responses, invoices, and contracts to professional and secure PDF documents. By using it, users can share their documents without being concerned about manually turning them to PDF.
It took five years for me to quit my job and pursue Jotform full-time, but in the meantime, I strengthened both my skills, and my belief that I could found a successful business. Believing in yourself and assuming success will follow is not the right approach. Instead, believe in yourself because you’ve proven over time what you’re capable of.
Jotform, at its core, is an online form builder, but we’ve come to see it as something more. The entire tool is no-code, meaning you don’t know anything about coding to utilize the tool fully. It allows users to create, share, and manage forms and anything that comes with the process. We found it extremely easy to use. It basically took around 5 minutes to get an online form up and running.
Read More - Jotform Review / Index: 382June, 2021Research shows that everyone has different peak hours; defined as the period of time each day when you’re at your sharpest mentally. Finding your own peak time can take some trial and error.

Dubbed the low-code or no-code movement, the effort includes startups like Zapier, which helps companies connect applications into a single automated process, to Jotform, which helps companies create surveys to collect data from customers. The products rely on simple software building blocks that can be dragged and dropped into place by untrained workers to build complicated applications.
The Bear River Health Department, which serves Box Elder, Cache and Rich counties, test-drove the system in-house and decided against transitioning from the Jotform program it already had in place. "In the end, we wanted to keep it very simple for the public and create less barriers to get their vaccines,” Director Jordan Mathis said, noting that Jotform was “super easy for the public on the front end.”
Countless survey tools make it easy to build and administer a survey. Look for tools that allow you to customize the look of the survey with your brand’s colors and logos. You should also be able to customize the different fields within the survey: multiple-choice, drop-down, short answer, star-rating, etc. Back-end features that help you analyze and report on survey data are helpful, too.
Use Jotform Approvals to manage the entire approval process, from accepting requests to managing and approving them. You can set up automated notifications for parents registering their children as well as reminders for those who need to approve the registrations.
Over the course of running my company, my team prioritized sane, steady growth and avoided set teeth-gnashing deadlines. I’ve always tried to unplug during evenings and weekends, and our leadership encourages our 300 employees to do the same.
I give my employees at Jotform plenty of space to grow their most important ideas. We don’t have deadlines because I want ideas to flourish freely, and worrying about a looming deadline doesn’t do much to inspire creativity.
Once someone completes the approval form, the submission triggers the approval workflow you created. Jotform Approvals makes it easy to track and manage the process, and the automated tasks prevent staff from spending time sorting requests, following up on missing information, and so on.
A no-code tool can set up a review process that collects feedback from multiple managers and coworkers to get a full picture of an employee’s performance. You can create a process that requires multiple people to weigh in and compare self- and manager evaluations side by side.
By having a QR code at your booth, you can give visitors an easy way to sign up for your offer — which is highly valuable and provides a great user experience — while also capturing their email address and contact information, depending on the fields you use in your form.
When we were working on our latest product, Jotform Tables, it was important for me to convey from the start that I wanted our focus to remain on quality versus speed. We ended up spending three years developing this tool with that vision in mind. Why? Because, rather than adopting a “just ship it” mentality, my end goal since the beginning was to create an enduring company that delivers real value to our customers.
One way to better understand guests’ concerns and cleaning preferences — while sending a subtle message that you’ve got this covered — is to survey customers online. You don’t have to create a survey from scratch; there are free and low-cost form options that make putting an online survey together quick and painless, even without technical expertise.
Ever since I founded Jotform, I’ve tried to prioritize a team focus. One reason is practical: I can’t do it all alone. The other reason is more strategic – I’m a firm believer that at the end of the day, a business isn’t its product or its leader. It’s a culmination of its people.
Approvals allows users to drag-and-drop elements in order for teams to more efficiently add emails, approvers, and perform other tasks. Additional features of the new Approvals tool include personalized emails that match approval flows, customized approval settings, over 100 templates for several industries, and more.
Jotform has over 10,000 form templates which give you a large selection to choose from. The categories with the most options are registration forms, request forms and application forms. All of these types of forms can be multi-page forms and are mobile-friendly.
Jotform, a leading online form software provider, announced Approvals, a no-code tool designed to empower teams to automate approval processes and streamline workflows with ease.
The first step in maintaining company culture is creating a solid foundation. For example, at my company, Jotform, it’s been one of my missions to dismantle the “always-on” mindset so inherent in the tech world.
Approvals comes at a time when most of the world’s workforce needs simple, affordable tools that save time and allow them to work from anywhere. With the Approvals drag-and-drop interface, teams can easily add approvers, emails, conditional branches and other elements to an approval process.
