Step 1: Get a name

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
