[METHOD] Make $20-$50 Per Day With AdSense and Quizzes

@se900se Hello OP, I’m trying to profit with this method but I have a one big issue. I’m using adsense for monetization and getting around 0.10$ CPM not CPC !CPM! (My CPC is around 0.01$)... The traffic is coming from USA so it is not a country problem. I know you said adsense sucks and I should implement a waterfall with other ad networks but those networks won’t accept me (already got a few rejections) because I don’t meet their minimum traffic requirements. Also you said you are getting around 20$ RPM from adsense (the “ bad setup”) so I wonder why they pay me so little (My RPM is just shy of 2$ due to this terrible CPM rate) it’s crazy and feels really bad as I have been using adwords a few months ago and they were charging me 3$ CPM for crappy non converting impressions on crappy websites :/ Please help I’m really losinh my mind here

Yo have a better results you need to have constant traffic with a constant quality. At the current situation I would suggest working in increasing traffic quantity. If you are buying traffic I would suggest promoting your quizzes in the Facebook - it generates really good engagement, traffic flow and subscriptions.

You can also offer prizes, I know a number of brands that would sponsor that.

You don't need to, you make a profit by showing ads to the user and visitors are happy to go through a quiz as long as the content is interesting to them. The prize will scare away some part of traffic as they would think you're just collecting their data, or would need the payment for the prize.

My publishing company used to sell quiz and puzzle books, adding a prize for completing it ramped up sales by about 20%.

As the quizzes here are digital, so long as you outline they don't have to pay anything or even collect their data if you don't want it at the outset you will be fine.

That is different, as we're not selling anything here, but simply monetizing ads. The quiz is used for the purpose of legally increasing pageviews and ad impressions. Offering money prize - may bring some more traffic (it may not as well), but its unlikely to bring higher profit as you would have to pay it back to winners.

Dealing with the payments can also be a pain in the ass.

Same here, I don't think you read my entire post, more specifically, the very first message.
I do appreciate your input, but it looks like a bad idea.

I did read your post, your position is you dont feel offering prizes under any circumstances acts as an incentive to complete a quiz. My position is for some yes it will work and for some no it wont.

Did you try it?

My position is to provide the easiest possible method to increase paid ad impressions, your position is to prove you're adding something valuable.

You can also sell a pen at the end or pay $200 for completion, you can twist it any way you like.

You missunderstand again... my position is to make maximum revenue and spread risk.

Your just pushing one revenue stream - paid ad impressions and saying that is the only possible way to make money with a quizz.

Experience has taught me you should look to implement as many revenue streams as possible, split test, see what works and what does not. That way you will maximise revenue and spread risk.

No, I do understand you, and I do appreciate your input - this is not a sarcasm, what I am saying is that making money with the ads is good enough to start, and can be sufficient enough to bring a very good revenue, everyone is open to add any kind of twists to the method as they like. Since I personally work with the ads on all of my projects, my focus is to spread the risk between multiple ad networks, but it could be anything else - I agree with you here.
 
Pls which plugin can i use that is cheap aside Quìze plugin and what themes do u use
 
This is a really clever thread, and as @se900se said, it's really an ad arbitrage play with quizzes being the draw.

A few additional nuggets of advice for anyone that reads this thread (on page 16!):
  • Facebook / Twitter / Reddit / Pintrest can absolutely drive organic traffic, but you can also play for visits on a CPC basis and can still turn a profit.
  • Adsense can work well, but in 2019, you should have a header bidding setup. This lets multiple monetization partners compete against each other for every impression. I've seen publishers implement header bidding have a rise in revenue from 30%-70%. There are companies such as Freestar or Sortable that will do "header bidding as a service" so it won't require any coding know-how on your part.
  • At the end of a quiz, you can try letting a user register (by giving an e-mail) so they can see where they are on the leaderboard. Then you can e-mail them any time a new quiz comes around. This will get you more organic traffic.
  • Bonus points if there is some way for a quiz viewer to make their own quiz! Then they can send their own quiz around to their friends and you can collect the revenue!
BuzzFeed gets a significant amount of their traffic from fan-made quizzes. Their top quiz maker was / is a college girl that makes quizzes for fun, and several BuzzFeed employees were laid off because this girl was doing their job better than they were, and for free!

I used AdSense in title as 95% of users don’t know about other ad networks. I have a separate thread where I talk about ad server and headerbidding.

You should also mention that companies that do headerbidding as a service also take part of your revenue and require minimum revenue/traffic per month to take you in.z

Buzzfeed is famous but never been financially successful. They use quizzes for entertainment, but not so good at monetization.

This is correct on all accounts.

A friend of mine got a job at Buzzfeed in NY, and on the first day of orientation the HR girl said how lucky they all were because "BuzzFeed has a lower acceptance rate than Harvard!" He told me as soon as he heard that, he knew he had made a mistake.

I hope the HR girl still works there. :D
 
OP I want to create a quiz only site. Was inspired to create something like it cause of this site >>>> www.videoquizstar.com

Love the quality of the quiz and everything especially the plugin everything is just superb,
Now I want to create mine.

1)which WP theme is similar to www.Videoquizstar.com or www.popsugar.com , the most important thing I need now an Ultra Fast WP theme for quiz niche .

2) I want to do this for a very long run possibly become an authority in the quiz niche.

• what and what should I avoid to prevent have problems with any Adnetwork .

•number of words needed at Start page of each quiz I don't want to have content problems.

•if there something else need to be careful of let me know.

3) My plan is to >>>>>

•create quizzes of any audience ,community or trending topic I can think of Getting traffic from .

•create 3 quizzes based on general niches or knowledge (40 questions each ) which I will Advert with a landing page(not on my site) telling people to complete the 3 quizzes to the end to get a reward or something. Hope I won't encounter problem in future with Adnetworks.

•Main Monetization plan is to use 3 Ad per page both for question page and right /wrong page or you selected page . Example question page =3 Ad, Right /wrong page = 3Ad. Total 6 Ad per questions.
In reference to what I said Above if I could convince traffic of 100 people daily to do the 3 quizzes (40 questions per quiz) .

6 Ad x 40 questions = 240 impressions .
240 impressions x 3 quizzes = 720 impressions .
Total of 720 impressions per visitor .

720 imp x 100 visitors = 72000 impressions

Let say my CPM is as low as $2 per CPM=
$144 ..

4) About Plugin Am going use Quizé on BHW ;) ,can't wait for their next plugin features Update (not affiliated to them in anyway) .


OP I look forward to your reply, tell me your view on the things I said ,also help with a professional theme for the quiz niche.

Im not sure if anybody has answered you yet, but at least videoquizzstar or anyother page of gimmemore is not working with wordpress not even with php, their web is react based
 
Should we need to do keyword research for this ? or can we use this method without keyword research ?
