Step 2: Create Interesting Questions to Engage your Audience

Utilize this medium to establish a conversation with your visitors in a way that is fairly close to a real interaction. This means you should speak like a human and use pictures.

Here are a few simple rules to follow to achieve this:

• Be Sure To Speak Like a Human – Quizzes are designed as a one on one medium. In this case, you are only talking to one person at a time, not a group when you create your quizzes. You must make sure you sound like yourself when you communicate or else you might forfeit the advantages of a one-to-one channel.
• Make Use of Pictures – The good quality online quizzes will have at least one question with an image, sometimes they even contain an image for every answer.

So, take note that pictures make your quiz feel more like a game. This gets people engaged and lowers their guard in order to make them more likely to opt-in to your brand at the end of your quiz.

When preparing your questions and answers, keep them short. Don’t be tempted to have more than 6 answers per question.

Also, make sure that your quiz doesn’t take more than 2 minutes to take. And It’s also important to make your quiz simple.

 

Step 3: Create an Opt-In Form

You can achieve this by:

• Providing Value Beyond the Quiz Results: This could be in form of personalized advice or a giveaway in the quiz.
• Be Honest About What You’re Going to Send: You must be honest about how often you’re going to email people or what you will be sending them and they will, in turn, be honest about whether or not they want to be on your email list.

Step 4: Exciting Quiz Results

• Be truthful and uplifting
• Use images that are likely to be shared among new audiences
• Have a call-to-action

Step 5: Get Shared

After you give your quiz taker the big reveal, you’ll want to give them a way to share it with their friends. This can be achieved by:

• Making sure your titles are share-friendly. You should try to write result titles that mesh well with your quiz title for the best results on social media.
• Using images of people again. Pictures of people will give you the best results. Make sure to use image optimization guides to make sure your pictures do their job properly.
• Including personalized links for each result. These personalized links will tell the person taking your test to click on the link for a reason directly related to who they are. Personalized links get clicked on an average of 42% more over non-personalized links. Take advantage of the information you have just collected about your audience and continue to utilize them in the conversation with them in a setting that is unique to their quiz outcome.

Step 6: Evaluate Your Results

Your quiz completion percentage will vary based on your industry, but it is still reasonable to expect an 80% completion average.

If your completion percentage is lower than that then it may mean that your quiz isn’t providing enough value or people are losing interest before they even get to the end. 

It is therefore very important to make sure that your quiz isn’t too long.

Have a second look at your content and ask yourself, is it valuable and entertaining?

It is expected that your quiz should have an average of 5% for your conversion rate. But if your conversion rate isn’t at the expected or desired level you need it to be, then check your incentive.

You should make your incentive more appealing to get more people involved. If your social media quiz was properly done and implemented, your email marketing list will definitely grow.
