To help her audience deeply understand themselves, stand out in the market, and attract their ideal clients. After they feel confident in their personality type and\u00a0empowered to take the next step, Kaye introduces her in-depth online course to help them learn more about utilizing their brand archetype.<\/p>\n<p>Smart move, right?<\/p>\n<p>But before we dig into why the quiz works, let\u2019s go back to the beginning to understand how it all came to be. Since choosing a quiz topic is one of the first decisions you\u2019ll make when you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tryinteract.com\/blog\/how-to-make-a-multiple-choice-quiz\/\">create your own quiz<\/a>, we\u2019ll start there.<\/p>\n<h3>Q: Kaye, what inspired you to start a quiz in order to sell online courses in your business?<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">One day, I stumbled into archetypes on a website (that looked like it was created in the \u201990s), and I was immediately drawn to their application in branding. But I must admit, I had no idea which archetype I wanted to infuse into my own brand.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I immediately realized how powerful this type of tool would be for entrepreneurs because there wasn\u2019t anything like it on the market at the time. Everyone naturally relates to at least half of the archetypes, so how do you identify which one (or two) you resonate with most?<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Essentially, I created the quiz for myself and made it available to everyone else in the process.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Key Takeaway<\/strong>: Don\u2019t be afraid to use inspiration from other sources to guide your quiz. You may just stumble into a new idea! Try to reimagine what the quiz could offer your audience by thinking about what questions you\u2019d need to answer if you were in their shoes.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><a class=\"thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/tryinteract-blog.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/first-row-brand-archetypes.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9078\" src=\"https:\/\/tryinteract-blog.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/first-row-brand-archetypes.png\" alt=\"archetypes\" width=\"512\" height=\"71\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tryinteract-blog.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/first-row-brand-archetypes.png 512w, https:\/\/tryinteract-blog.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/first-row-brand-archetypes-300x41.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><a class=\"thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/tryinteract-blog.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/row-2-archetypes-quiz-results.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9081\" src=\"https:\/\/tryinteract-blog.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/row-2-archetypes-quiz-results.png\" alt=\"row 2 archetypes quiz results\" width=\"512\" height=\"71\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tryinteract-blog.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/row-2-archetypes-quiz-results.png 512w, https:\/\/tryinteract-blog.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/row-2-archetypes-quiz-results-300x41.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/tryinteract-blog.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/row-3-archetypes-quiz-results.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9083\" src=\"https:\/\/tryinteract-blog.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/row-3-archetypes-quiz-results.png\" alt=\"row 3 archetypes quiz results\" width=\"512\" height=\"71\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tryinteract-blog.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/row-3-archetypes-quiz-results.png 512w, https:\/\/tryinteract-blog.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/row-3-archetypes-quiz-results-300x41.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Q: What were your main goals with the quiz? What did success look like to you then, and what does it look like now?<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Starting out, I\u2019ll be honest\u2026 it was just an experiment. Quizzes were still pretty new to the entrepreneurial space (circa 2013) but were gaining popularity fast! (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tryinteract.com\/blog\/how-to-make-a-buzzfeed-style-quiz\/\">Thanks Buzzfeed<\/a>!)<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I knew I wanted to utilize the quiz myself, so success to me meant other entrepreneurs found it helpful as well. As a fun twist, I matched up well-known entrepreneurs at the time with the archetypes that were showing up in their personal brands.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<a class=\"thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/tryinteract-blog.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/archetype-characters-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9085\" src=\"https:\/\/tryinteract-blog.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/archetype-characters-1-300x181.png\" alt=\"images of famous people or characters who match the archetype\" width=\"300\" height=\"181\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tryinteract-blog.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/archetype-characters-1-300x181.png 300w, https:\/\/tryinteract-blog.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/archetype-characters-1.png 512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><a class=\"thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/tryinteract-blog.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/archetype-characters-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9090\" src=\"https:\/\/tryinteract-blog.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/archetype-characters-2-300x181.png\" alt=\"images of famous people or characters who match the archetype\" width=\"300\" height=\"181\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tryinteract-blog.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/archetype-characters-2-300x181.png 300w, https:\/\/tryinteract-blog.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/archetype-characters-2.png 512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Some of these entrepreneurs were so excited to see themselves included that they shared my quiz with their audience!

You can always improve on your quiz over time with additional resources, but everyone has to start somewhere. Before you publish your quiz, ask yourself, \u201cWould this quiz be useful to me if I was taking it?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Q: How did you decide how many quiz questions and personality results you wanted to include?<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Don\u2019t do what I did &#8211; DO NOT HAVE 12 RESULTS! The 12 archetypes I use are defined in the book \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2KeWaCJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Hero &amp; the Outlaw<\/a>\u201d by Margaret Mark and Carol S Pearson, so I didn\u2019t decide on that number.<\/p>\n<p>With more quiz results comes so much more work! I would absolutely recommend choosing <a data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tryinteract.com\/blog\/quiz-result-landing-pages\/\">3-5 personality quiz results<\/a> for your own sanity.<\/p>\n<p>For the quiz questions, it came down to having enough variety that the answers provided an accurate breakdown for the participant. My advice? This is usually the first encounter a cold audience has with your brand, so keep it short to keep their attention!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Key Takeaway<\/strong>: Stick to 3-5 personality quiz results when you are creating your quiz. Also, keep your questions and answers written in a concise way so it will increase the number of people who complete the quiz.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Building the quiz for success when you sell online courses<\/h2>\n<h3>Q: What has a quiz done for your business that other lead magnets haven&#8217;t been able to?<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The quiz provides steady and inexpensive lead generation of my ideal clients, those individuals that understand the power of infusing your personality into your brand.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It obviously took time to get where I am today, but I barely need to promote the quiz and get (on average) 1,600 leads per month. It runs on autopilot now so it works without any hand-holding from me.<\/p>\n<p><a data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.singlegrain.com\/content-marketing-strategy-2\/guide-influencer-marketing\/\">Educators and other entrepreneurs<\/a> often refer their clients and audiences to the Brand Personality Quiz, which grows my audience each month even more. It\u2019s been cool to see it become a trusted resource for all kinds of entrepreneurs and, in turn, help me sell online courses.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Key Takeaway<\/strong>: Don\u2019t forget the power of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.impactbnd.com\/blog\/word-of-mouth-marketing-strategies-infographic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">word-of-mouth marketing<\/a>! How can you create buzz with your new online quiz? How can you create it to be a solution not only for quiz takers but also those who interact with your ideal clients? This will help you create a quiz that really stands out.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><a class=\"thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/tryinteract-blog.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/quiz-cover.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9091\" src=\"https:\/\/tryinteract-blog.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/quiz-cover.png\" alt=\"Brand personality quiz cover with 12 archetypes\" width=\"759\" height=\"504\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tryinteract-blog.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/quiz-cover.png 759w, https:\/\/tryinteract-blog.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/quiz-cover-300x199.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 759px) 100vw, 759px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nQ: Why did you choose the Interact platform for building your quiz? Were there any specific features that really stood out to you?<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I published my quiz on a different platform initially, but <a href=\" https:\/\/www.tryinteract.com#oid=46029_4020\">Interact<\/a> quickly raised the bar with its outstanding features and benefits.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">First and foremost, I wanted the ability to provide multiple results for participants. No one is 100% one brand archetype. My old platform just gave one result, which swayed the accuracy of the quiz.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Allowing participants to see their percentage breakdown of results gives them more power to make the final decision on their psychology-driven brand strategy. I love that they walk away from the quiz feeling more empowered!<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Also, since each of the 12 archetypes links to a separate <a href=\"https:\/\/brandfluency.co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brandfluency<\/a> course, it gives quiz takers the opportunity to buy more than one course depending on the brand personalities they resonate with most.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Combine that with easy integration, brand personalization options, and a much better conversion rate?! It was an easy choice to go with Interact.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\" https:\/\/www.tryinteract.com#oid=46029_4020\">Sell online courses with a quiz today by signing up for an Interact account!<\/a><\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Q: How long did it take you to set up the quiz?<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">With 12 archetypes, it took longer for me to set up the quiz than other online course creators. That\u2019s another reason why I recommend NOT doing 12 results.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The actual quiz itself was simple to set up in the Interact platform (definitely the easiest part of the whole process!), but I went a step further.<\/p>\n<p>I also created a custom landing page for each archetype (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kayeputnam.com\/brandality-archetype-creator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">see an example here<\/a>), an infographic for each, a lead magnet for each, and <a data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/help.tryinteract.com\/en\/articles\/1002333-part-4-follow-up-emails\/\">follow-up email sequence<\/a> for each\u2026 all of that multiplied over 12 archetypes means I\u2019ve spent a LOT of time optimizing my quiz!<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kayeputnam.com\/brandality-archetype-creator\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-9092\" src=\"https:\/\/tryinteract-blog.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/screen-capture-of-creator-landing-page-310x1024.png\" alt=\"creator landing page for results\" width=\"310\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tryinteract-blog.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/screen-capture-of-creator-landing-page-310x1024.png 310w, https:\/\/tryinteract-blog.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/screen-capture-of-creator-landing-page.png 485w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 310px) 100vw, 310px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">But in all seriousness, take time in the beginning to create a seamless journey for the quiz taker. <a data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tryinteract.com\/blog\/quiz-result-landing-pages\/\">Make all of your outcomes positive<\/a> so they\u2019ll be encouraged to share their result.<\/p>\n<p>Offer extra value to those who choose to provide their email address. I don\u2019t force people to enter their email address to get their result. This may decrease my overall conversion rate, but it also ensures I don\u2019t add unqualified leads to my list.<\/p>\n<p>Then, even after the participants have their result and have entered their email address\u2026 how do you keep them engaged? This is where landing pages and other content specific to their result will show off how much value you offer.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Key Takeaway<\/strong>: There are SO many takeaways in this section, so take a minute to re-read it if you need to. We agree that it\u2019s all about keeping your eyes on the main goal: nurturing your quiz taker along the journey and positioning your online course as a trusted resource to help them learn more. Only then can you sell online courses with your quiz.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Q: What kind of strategy went into creating your quiz personality landing pages? How about your follow-up email sequences?<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The best advice I can give anyone creating a quiz is to provide a TON of value to the people who take it. For my quiz, this is typically the first interaction participants have with my brand, so I provide a ton of value to ensure they want to keep following my work.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Plus, I sell online courses down the line in my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tryinteract.com\/blog\/build-a-lead-generation-funnel-with-interact\/\">lead generation funnel<\/a>, and you can\u2019t ask for a cold audience member to purchase after they\u2019ve known you approximately 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">So the landing pages are filled with free information about their archetype. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kayeputnam.com\/brandality-archetype-royalty\/\">You can see what I mean here<\/a>. My emails (if they elect to sign up) provide even more resources and advice customized to their brand personality type.<\/p>\n<p>Then, after about a week, I provide them with an opportunity for more free training which leads into an offer for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kayeputnam.com\/get-brandfluency\/\">Brandfluency<\/a>, my 12 customized courses which break down how to apply each archetype step by step into a psychology-driven brand strategy.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Key Takeaway<\/strong>: Remember that creating a quiz is just the first step in selling online courses! You\u2019ll need more than an interactive quiz to increase your online course sales. Think about how much value you want to give away for free, and then go do it!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Q: What do you think is the &#8220;secret sauce&#8221; behind your massively successful quiz?<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">My quiz isn\u2019t just fun; it\u2019s useful. It\u2019s a tool that entrepreneurs can use to gain clarity about their brand and business strategy. While I absolutely love fun <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tryinteract.com\/blog\/how-to-make-a-buzzfeed-style-quiz\/\">Buzzfeed quizzes<\/a>, they aren\u2019t necessarily driving qualified leads to my business.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">My quiz tells entrepreneurs something about themselves that\u2019s actually valuable and applicable to their business, which drives interest, engagement, and success!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Key Takeaway<\/strong>: Think of the bigger picture of your quiz. What is it helping people accomplish, and why does that matter to them? How can they actually use it to find success?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Q: Do you plan to use quizzes in the future?<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Yes, I have so many ideas!<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">First and foremost, I want to create a more comprehensive, paid version of the Brand Personality Quiz. This extended version will have more questions that really help you get ultra-clear and confident about what you want your brand to stand for.<\/p>\n<p>It will narrow down your results to only providing your primary and secondary archetypes to take the guesswork out of the top choices. And it will provide extra resources and value customized to those results. I can\u2019t wait to put it all together. So much of it has been inspired by the success I\u2019ve seen with my Interact quiz!<\/p>\n<h3>Q: Do you mind sharing some of your best stats with us? We know everyone is dying to see how well the quiz has worked from a numbers perspective!<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Absolutely! Here are some of our best stats at a glance:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Total quiz completions: 100,000+ quiz takers (112,000 as of June 2019)<\/li>\n<li>Starts to (voluntary sign up) leads conversion rate: 47%<\/li>\n<li>Views to (voluntary sign up) leads conversion rate: 27%<\/li>\n<li>Revenue generated from quiz: Over $100,000 through Brandfluency online course sales<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a class=\"thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/tryinteract-blog.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/kaye-brand-results.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9093\" src=\"https:\/\/tryinteract-blog.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/kaye-brand-results.png\" alt=\"two screenshots of quiz conversion funnel\" width=\"636\" height=\"344\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tryinteract-blog.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/kaye-brand-results.png 636w, https:\/\/tryinteract-blog.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/kaye-brand-results-300x162.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 636px) 100vw, 636px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The unique thing about the quiz is that I can truly attribute ALL of the Brandfluency online course sales to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kayeputnam.com\/brandality-quiz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brand Personality Quiz<\/a>. This is because no one can purchase their customized archetype course without first understanding their primary and secondary archetypes.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Plus, I know that the quiz has influenced even more revenue from my other online courses. It has also helped me gain trust with leads who then go on to become one-on-one brand strategy clients. Some of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.claritycode.co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">my brand strategy packages<\/a> can range from $3,400 to $17,000+, so this quiz has been instrumental in helping me stand out among other brand strategists. I couldn\u2019t be happier!<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The previous quiz platform I used had a conversion rate (from views to leads) of about 16%. At the time, I was amazed by the number. But, since converting to the Interact platform, my rates have soared!<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In the last year, I\u2019ve had about a 27% conversion rate from views to leads. I know this number could be higher if I required an opt-in to see quiz results, but again, you will get more unsubscribers using this method, so it\u2019s your preference!<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I do have my quiz embedded on a page on my website, which does have other information as well. So a more accurate representation of my leads would be looking at quiz starts to leads. (Plus, this number is way more fun to #humblebrag). This ups my conversion rate to 47%!<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/xT0xeJpnrWC4XWblEk\" width=\"480\" height=\"320\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/whoa-hd-tim-and-eric-xT0xeJpnrWC4XWblEk\">via GIPHY<\/a><\/center>I have over 400 students in our different branding courses, and ALL of them have taken the Brand Personality Quiz at some point.
