BENEFITS OF ONLINE QUIZZES.

How many times while growing up did you take a quiz in a magazine? Maybe while sitting in the dentist's office or at a friend's gathering. It may have been one like: "Take this quiz and find out your best traits." Or, "Reveal your best 'You'". What if quizzes could be used to promote sales, special events and coupons while exposing your visitors to a great number of potential customers through Social Media? Well, now they can!

Quizzes are highly shareable and a very cost-effective way to market your business, products and/or service.

They are also extremely fun for your visitors and will give them a lasting impression!

HOW DO YOU MAKE AN ONLINE QUIZ?

By now, you're probably wondering how in the world can I do this? Do I have to be tech savvy? No! Not at all! It's easy!

So, in order to drive traffic and grow your business, you need to get a WordPress plugin to assist in generating quizzes. I've listened some below. But first, read on..

WHAT ARE ONLINE QUIZZES?

Well, popular on Social Media and Buzzfeed, online quizzes have become a fun way to pass the time, while relaxing or even waiting for an appointment. And, you can learn from them, too! They can be about anything at all, and are a perfect way to magnet traffic to your website.

Quizzes can be shared, as well, to draw even more visitors!

The most important and main purpose is that a quiz can portray knowledge so people have a better understanding of your niche or industry. They also are a great way to show your expertise in certain areas. You can create a short online quiz for any niche, too..Landscaping, Fashion, Nail Stylist, Electrician, MMO, etc.

THE PERFECT WAY TO GATHER A CLIENT'S INFORMATION.

Quizzes are a fabulous way to compile a potential customer's opinions, styles, perspective, needs, etc. They expand your market reach to those who may not even know they are interested in what your service provides, by introducing topics they can explore!

INCLUDE A CALL-TO-ACTION.

Quizzes geared to a specific product or service should have a call-to-action. For example, "Enter your email address to receive results." Make sure you are up front with your customer and mention that the results of the quiz will be delivered by email.

Also, in the "results" email, offer people who took the quiz a subscription to your newsletter. This process is another great way to build your subscription list and get repeat buyers. You can center an email campaign around your subscribers, too, offering other quizzes, products, services, questionnaires, etc.

• Make sure your quiz is logical, entertaining, educating, easy to follow and useful.
• Organize your lay out and content, and categorize your quiz into: true or false, multiple choice and fill in the blank.
• Create a basic format for your quizzes. This will help you choose the perfect template or plugin.
• Make your quizzes last for about ten minutes all-in-all. You want to keep their attention without putting them to sleep!
• Trust me, those who want to learn more about your business will keep coming back after taking a quiz. They will be sure to remember your site. These people are called "captive leads."
