how to make a buzzfeed quiz for your site

Step 1: Get a name

• Here’s what works:– Challenging titles “How Much do You

Actually Know?”– Profiling “Which Blank are You?– Celebrities “Which Celebrity would be

your best friend?”

Step 1: Examples from Buzzfeed

Step 2: Write Snarky Questions

• Buzzfeed quizzes all have personality. Here’s how:– Don’t explain yourself “Pick one” is an adequate

question– Do be yourself, asking “What’s Your Preffered

Method of Drinking?” is totally okay in a quiz

Step 2: Examples from Buzzfeed

Step 3: Create Positive Results

• Quizzes feed our inner narcissism, that’s why every result is positive– Be believable by using persuasive

writing– That means being generally specific– “You sometimes like to go out and

sometimes like to stay in” – applies to literally everyone

Step 3: Examples from Buzzfeed

Step 4: Write to a person

• Think of someone who would enjoy your quiz, and write to them– This will keep your style fun– You can never have to small of an

audience

Step 4: Examples from Buzzfeed

Step 5: Keep it short

• Buzzfeed quizzes are notorious for being inaccurate – probably because they are short– 5-12 questions is optimal
