#TrueStory – I had resisted creating a quiz to promote my business for the longest time.
I thought it was too gimmicky for my brand, as I wasn’t about to create a, “What’s Your Spirit Animal?” quiz. I thought the quiz craze was going to quickly die down. I thought it was just another flavor of the month that I didn’t need to give my attention to.
So, I warned myself not to jump on this bandwagon only to end up as another case study for allowing shiny object syndrome to side-track me from my vision for the business.
The reason I finally convinced myself to give it a try was when I gained clarity on the benefits of doing so. I realized that a free quiz could potentially serve more than the one purpose of building my email list on autopilot.
Little did I know that starting on my quiz creation journey was going to be one of the few best decisions I’ve made for my business.
By the way, I call this a “journey” because it took me a long time to finish it.
Wait, don’t bounce just yet because I said it took a long time. It’s not that it took me a long time to work on creating a quiz day in & day out. It took me a long time because I had to walk away from this for a few good months before I came back to finish it.
Actually, believe it or not, I walked away from both of my quizzes.
Yep, I have 2 quizzes, and I had to walk away from both of them. For the first one, it took me more than 5 months to revisit it. The second one took me a lot less time, about 2 months or so.
But the good news is that you don’t have to go through the same journey.
