You need an email list. If you have a blog or business, then you hear this all the time. And it’s true!
But how do you get people to sign up for your email list?
It’s not like the old days of blogging when you could just put a “Sign up for my Newsletter” opt-in form in your sidebar and forget about it.
Now, you need to offer your readers something free and valuable in return for their email address. Which means that you need to create a content upgrade or lead magnet to draw them in. And you’re supposed to do that for every single blog post you write.
Let’s be honest, who has time for that?! Not me!
But I still want to grow my list, so there have to be other ways that are less time consuming right?
Well, there is! Quizzes!
Quizzes offer you a fun way to get to know your potential clients better while getting them on your email list.

I had already created a quiz using Interact* for a client, and it was so much fun! So when Interact asked me to partner with them, I immediately said yes! I knew that this would be a game-changer for my email list and save me time.
Let me show you how easy it is to set up a quiz with Interact*!
My Favorite Features of Interact Quizzes
The Templates
You saw in the video that Interact has a ton of awesome templates to choose from. This means that you don’t always have to create a new quiz from scratch which can save you a ton of time! And they have so many different niches to choose from that you can create a quiz about any topic you need.
The Branding Options
You can create your quiz to exactly match your brand. You also have the option to embed the quiz on your website and redirect the result pages. By doing this, quiz takers will never have to leave your website. Plus, you can embed the quiz right in a blog post if you want to!
You can see my social media quiz to get an idea of what you can do with your own quiz. I’m also going to embed it below so you can see how that looks as well.
Easy Integration
It’s so easy to integrate with your email provider! Just follow the steps in the Interact dashboard and you’re done!
It’s Mobile Responsive
Most of your online interaction takes place where? On your phone, right? I know for me I do all my Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram scrolling on my phone. For most people, 80% of their social media time is spent on a mobile device. So no matter what kind of content you create you want to make sure it looks good on mobile. And Interact’s quizzes do!
Creating quizzes is a lot of fun!
My Favorite Tip for Creating a Fun Quiz
Ask yourself is it fun, friendly, and enjoyable? Is the quiz time consuming for the person trying to complete this quiz within their busy work day? If it’s valuable enough, they’ll complete it, but you also don’t want to overcomplicate things and ask questions you do not need the answers for.
The key is to keep it simple.
The Benefits of Using a Quiz to Grow Your Email List
Aside from the fact that quizzes are a super fun way to lure in potential clients and get to know your audience better, quizzes can also work wonders for your business.
The key to understanding your audience is knowing what they like and dislike. If you can get to know potential client’s personality – even better. Then you can market to your following with an approach that’ll grab their interest because you’ll know them and what they need.
Here are a few benefits of using Interact quizzes in your business:
- Get to know your audience better, what they like and dislike
- Understand your audience’s personality
- Get feedback you’ve been looking for in your business
- Build a growing, strong email list
- Make money by upselling all sign-ups to your next “BIG” opportunity
When you add quizzes to your business, get ready to make more money and monetize on your potential clients’ interest!

Love this article, Paula! Quizzes are so much fun to create. I was a little scared as I did one for my first opt-in, but the positive feedback has been so encouraging.
