Here’s a fun one that may not work for every niche. But if you can use it to attract your target market, you may see a huge viral effect.

Quizzes are huge in certain circles.

Open up almost any women’s magazine, and you’re likely to see at least one quiz. Women take these quizzes to find out if their boyfriends are compatible, what sort of friend they are, and everything and anything else you can think of.

Quizzes are popular online, too.

You can take fun quizzes to find out things like “What kind of animal would you be?” or “If you were in the movie Star Wars, who would you be?”

You’ll also see serious quizzes online too.

While a serious quiz can be helpful to the person taking the quiz and it may even help your site become “sticky” if you offer different quizzes every month or every week, a serious quiz isn’t as likely as a fun quiz to “go viral.” Of course you can test this for yourself to see what works best in your niche.

The entire fun of these fun quizzes rests with the descriptions you give after the quiz is complete.

Example: A “what kind of dog are you?” quiz might have a description like this: “You’re like the golden retriever: Gentle with your friends, open to strangers, honest, trustworthy and always willing to play…”

Here are a few sample quiz ideas for different niches…

• A “What Kind of Animal Are You?” quiz for any sort of animal related sites. Naturally, you should focus on your target market. So if you run a dog site, then it should be a “what kind of dog are you?” quiz.
• A “What Kind of Flower Are You?” quiz for a gardening site.
• A “What Character Are You?” quiz for any sort of movie or book site.
• A “What Season Are You?” quiz for a women’s make-up site.

You may even consider creating a quiz based around other marketers in your niche.

Example: In marketing circles your quiz might be “Which Marketer Are You?” and would list “famous” online marketers like Jimmy D. Brown, John Reese, Mike Filsaime, and others.

Would that be buzzworthy?

Absolutely!

People would certainly talk about it on forums and post their quiz results. You may even get the marketers themselves to jump in and join the fun!

Tip: So how do you build a list from quizzes? One of two ways…

First, you can simply bring people to your quiz page and ask them to join your list (offer some sort of freebie for them to do so). After they finish the quiz, you can again give them the opportunity to join your list.

The idea is that since the quiz should go viral, you should be able to draw a large number of people to your site – and convert a certain percentage of them to subscribers.

The second way to build a list using this method is to ask people to subscribe in order to take the quiz. However, doing so risks hindering the viral effect, as not everyone is willing to join a list just to take a quiz.
