Quiz site promotion via Pinterest

[KONODIODA]

Hi, guys!
I've just created my first quiz site and I want to promote it through Pinterest.
I have several queistions.
First of all, can you link your webpage?
How often should you post?

i tried that using a IFTTT bot and got banned a few days later lol. about Pinterest itself, people say their own blog is a good place to learn the ropes. i think 10-20 posts a day is what's recommended around here, but don't take my word for it.


haven't tried it because i cant get ahrefs, but this method seems to be good. in general, all his "hack" guides are worth a read:

The real problem is that I can't make quizzes all the time, they are educational mostly. And have 20 questions each.
That's why it takes time to create.
And posting once per week is not great.

I already made it and spent money. I will make profit one way or another.

Ads plus I want to promote something as a reward in the end of the quiz.

about the shitty monetarization mentioned above, i kind of agree if you only use ads. make sure to include an affiliate link at the end of the quiz. for an educational niche, i would recommend a memory-related product. maybe one of those ebooks about memory techniques? i have read some, that stuff is genuinely cool.
about the content problem, my recommendation would be start with what you have, make a few bucks, then evaluate if you like the whole thing enough to bother making more content or outsourcing it.
edit: not necessarily a ebook. there are udemy courses about it. that stuff looks great and converts well. so i would say test and see what is more ROI. ALWAYS test.

the ad costs will be stupid fucking high for the amount of return that you get. think $3-5 DOLLARS per 1 quiz completion

They are not fully educational, I'd say they test users knowledge. Sry, english is not my native language.
But I truly thought about books or something like that from amazon.
I have right now 38 quizzes about scifi, myths, history, movies etc.

I want to try free traffic right now, And why 3-5 dollars per 1 quiz? This is simply not true.

 

[KONODIODA]

Of course I will.
Right now I want to drive traffic, profit will be later.

Quizzes used to be more popular but you can still earn with them if you make people share them. Otherwise it would be really hard to get traffic.

You need to think a lil bit outside of the box to get some really nice ideas and quizzes share worth. Catchy, click bait titles and result page with share buttons

What do you suggest ?

 

[JavascriptPufferfish]

problem with free traffic is if it's worth your time starting out and if you have the skills and correct niche to scale. bottom line is you already have the site, so you cant not give it a try. also, if you have quizzes about tv series and more popular media, try the shoutout method that @Jammy0308 used to use. you can read how in his thread.

Yeah, I've read it, good shit.
But I don't want to spend money right now on shoutout.
I thought about fb ads, but right know can't create acc properly. I dunno why, but it keeps banning me. And i've never created something blackhat there.

if you don't want to spend money, FB ads is not a good choice either. you need to spend a decent amount before you can even know if it will be viable or not. want to run a little test to see the profits? get a bing coupon (10 bucks for 100 USD of spent). its like a free sample, not a threshold account, so it doesn't harm your brand in any way. send traffic to your site, and see how much you make per visitor. then decide if you like it.

Not the worst idea, thank you.
But I thought you can get cheap clicks if you're working with pixel.

you can after expending some amount and optimization. at the start, you will always be at a loss. then, price gets slowly cheaper as facebook optimizes who it is showing it to. but at the start its always expensive, and there are no guarantees that after expending 300 bucks or something optimizing you will reach a point where winnings > costs. some products (i would say most products) simply arent positive ROI after all.
but i am not a facebook expert either, so don't take anything for granted haha
