Quizzes For Lead Generation – Interact Quiz Maker Tutorial

Ever heard of using quizzes for lead generation?

It’s a solid strategy that can help you grow your email list and generating leads for your business that goes beyond capturing just a name and email.

In this post, I’m going to show you how to create a list building and lead generating quiz that can be used for:

• Selling digital products
• Selling ecommerce products
• Affiliate marketing
• Selling client services
• and local business lead generation

Before showing you how to use Interact, an online quiz maker, to build your quiz, it is essential to have the correct quiz strategy to create high-converting quizzes.

Grab a note pad and start taking down notes for your own quiz using the the strategy below.

STEP 1: Define Your Target Audience and Quiz Goal

Begin with the end in mind. Consider:

• WHO is the target audience for your quiz?
  • Is it for men, women, moms, seniors, etc.?
• WHAT do you want them to do after completing your quiz?
  • Is it to purchase an online course, physical product, or service?

You don’t want to create a general buzzfeed type quiz that attracts everyone right?

I hope not.

Whilst buzzfeed are fun to complete, they attract anyone and everyone.

This is a quiz is for lead generation and should be designed for the purposes of generating leads for your business.

• Example: I want to create a quiz to sell a weight loss course for women

Step 2: Choose a Quiz Topic Related to Step 1

Your quiz topic is essentially your niche.

It should capture your target audience’s pain point or the problem they want to solve.

There are three main quiz frameworks to choose from:

1. Type Quiz: This framework categorizes people into a specific type or profile. Some examples include:

• “What’s Your Personality Type?”
• “Which Moisturizer Is Right for Your Skin Type?”

2. KILLER / MISTAKES quiz: which buckets people on some kind of mistake or obstacle that is stopping them from achieving the outcome they want: Some quiz examples are

• What’s your #1 relationship killer?
• Which accounting mistake is killing your profits?

3. SCORE quiz: which helps people see how they are rated on a score or ranked outcomes. Some quiz examples are:

• What’s your weight lifting score?
• What’s your psychic score?

In this example, I’m going to the choose the TYPE quiz.

The topic and title will be “What diet is right for your body shape?” quiz.

It can be used to build a list and is a quiz for lead generation.

STEP 3: Write Down 3+ Results For Your Quiz

Now that you have chosen the topic of your quiz, it’s time to work backwards by coming up with the results for the quiz FIRST.

This approach will make the process of creating quiz questions and linking them to the relevant result much easier.

For your first quiz, it’s best to keep it simple – 3 to 4 results should suffice.

However, if your quiz topic requires more specific results, then feel free to add more.

For instance, since we’re creating a quiz on “What diet is right for your body shape?”, the quiz taker will be directed to one of the following four results upon completion:

1. Diet for rectangle shape
2. Diet for hourglass shape
3. Diet for pear shape
4. Diet for apple shape

TIP: When writing out the results for your quiz, consider including educational information that will have the biggest impact and add value for your target audience.

For example, if someone completes the quiz and gets a result of “Diet for a Pear Shape,” you might want to include the following information in the results:

• Foods to avoid for a pear-shaped body
• Shopping list for a pear-shaped body
• Exercises to avoid for a pear-shaped body

Don’t hold back on your knowledge and build trust by providing educational information in your results that will add value for the quiz taker.

The last step is…

STEP 4: Write The Questions and Answers For Your Quiz

The key to writing great quiz questions is to:

Imagine you’re sitting down with someone and asking them questions to help diagnose their problem or goal.

And having answers to choose from that is LINKED to your results.

If we wanted to create quiz on finding a diet that would suit a person’s body shape.

An example of a question would be:

• Q. My waist is…
  • A: Narrower than my hips and shoulders but full
  • A: Narrower than my hips and shoulders
  • A: Forms a straight line with the rest of my body
  • A: not really there, more full

The quiz taker can select from any of the above 4 answer options.

So if someone chooses:

• the first option, I can link them to pear shape result
• the second option I can link them them to hour glass shape result
• the third option, I can link them to a rectangle shape result
• the last option, I can link them to them to a apple shape result

The key is strategically providing an answer option that will link to a specific result in your quiz.

Their final result will be the average of the answers.

I recommend asking 7 to 10 questions at most in your quiz.

Anymore than that and you’ll have people abandoning your quiz because it takes too long to complete.

Take the time to plan and write out your quiz topic, results, questions and answers first in a google doc or notepad.

Then you can use a tool like Interact Quiz Maker to build out beautiful and engaging quizzes in no time

Interact Quiz Maker Tutorial

NOTE: In my Youtube video, the Interact tutorial starts at 4 minutes and 57 in.

When you login to interact, just click on this “create new quiz” button

And instead of creating a quiz from scratch, I recommend using their quiz templates first so that you can see how everything is connected.

You can also narrow down the type of quiz templates available.

To see how the quiz looks like, you can click on the preview button.

Once you found a template you like, click on “use template”.

One thing to note: is that the templates are completely finished, so you just need to edit the options on the left hand side menu to personalize it to your own quiz.

Let’s go through how you can modify and edit your quiz:

• To change any title and description: you just click on it and start typing like a word editor
• To change any image: just click on it to modify. Interact has a connection with a royalty-free stock images, so you can:
  • simply search for the type of image you want and load it in.
  • There is also an option to upload your own images or import them from a URL.

Now instead of moving to editing the questions…

Interact Quiz Results

I recommend you add in your quiz results FIRST just like we previously outlined in the strategy so that you can link each of your quiz answer to the relevant result.

• To do that, head to the sidebar to “Results” and click on the one you want to change.
  • Change the result title, image, and add the description results here.
  • You can also go click this + add new result
  • One thing to pay attention to is that for each one of your results, there is a call to action button at the bottom.
  • You can use this button to change the text to “Read more” and “link” to a specific URL that applies to this result.
  • or you can send people to a specific landing page so that learn more about your product or service.

• If you don’t want your results to be hosted on Interact:
  • You can redirect results to your own landing pages by clicking on “REDIRECT RESULTS”
  • What you would do here is to create a page for each quiz result on your own site or landing page builder and enter in the URL here

Once you’ve entered in your results, add in your questions.

Next is “Lead Generation”in Interact.

You want to turn this option ON to build your email list and generate leads.

• Tick display privacy and enable GDPR compliant checkbox

In advanced settings, this will allow you to customize the error message if they didn’t opt-in correctly.

5. And you can also customize the social share Images, heading and text description.

Or you want to analyse your quiz data with Google analytics tracking in place.
