Tips for outcome quizzes
Choose a compelling title

• What ___ do you actually belong in?
• What kind of ___ are you?
Create shareworthy outcomes
• invoke awe, laughter or amusement (BuzzSumo)
• help people define themselves,
nourish relationships & get the word out about
causes they love (NY Times)
• make it a “feel-good, look-good” mechanism
• Help people share what “they want their friends
to think they like” (Buzzfeed)
Build a process
• Identify outcomes
• Map differentiating factors
• Be creative with your questions and answers
Pro tip: work backwards from outcome
Write these first.
Make sure people would be proud to share
Make sure your CTA relates to outcome.
