Making money through a quiz site - How to do it?

[Scriptopia]

Hi dudes

Happy Sunday, hope you are chillliiinngggggggggg!

I'm new to blackhatworld but have been creeping around for a while lol. Just abit on my background probably should be in introductions! (Skip to second paragraph if you dont care) I am essentially on a journey to generating sources of passive income online - Whilst doing so I want to share my actions and ideas with the world on my blog, in the hope I may inspire people to do even better. No money scheme BS just really trying to make money and help others, some of the stuff I do may already be out there but I want to try it myself all and attempt to put my own spin on it!

So I noticed a tonne of posts online even on BHW mention quiz sites for monetisation, my initial thoughts were who the heck still does quizzes online!? With all the PlayStation's and Xbox's in the world why on earth would people be carrying out quizzes online? Then I thought there are probably over a million people in front of their computers right now just mindlessly wandering on the internet so why not? So I gave it a go!

The plan was to not have to write quiz questions and answers but rather have them generate automatically on a daily/weekly or even hourly basis - not having to really care. I mean people always talk about this autopilot money and that's exactly what I'm looking for here. So I started with what I knew - WEB SCRAPING

I started out by searching for online quiz sites that were making use of numerical incrementing URLS i.e. (There not real!)
- Some Quix . com/ GeneralQuiz1
- Some Quix . com/ GeneralQuiz2
- Some Quix . com/ GeneralQuiz3

I began working on a simple python script that would increment the post number and using BeatifulSoup (python package for exporting XML and HTML) I scrape the contents of each page. Using the content I would look for a pattern, for example they would contain two headers: "Questions" and "Answers". I would especially look out for a heading with the value "Answers" and place an ad code right before it. This way the post would consist of all the questions, then a beautiful banner ad followed by the much needed answers. Once done, the python script inserts it straight in to the website database making it live online.

I have managed to adjust the script for a few sites and keep each in rotation to try and keep it ABIT unique lol - I was considering applying synonyms on some words in the quiz questions and answers but not sure how it may come out and im lazy hehe - Maybe in the future or maybe one for you?? Okay so I have YT video online which demos the system so you can get a real idea of what Im talking about. If you want to find out more head to my blog site at scriptopia[dot]co[dot]uk

if im allowed to embed YT videos on a post let me know and ill do so going forward - not sure if that stuff will get me in trouble here?

PS!!!!! - I'm not selling anything and am in no way wanting anyone's money, literally just sharing my projects, copy them, use them and make your MULAAR! Just let me know if iv'e helped. Ive got a alot more in the pipeline and will post my updates on BHW. (Will be a new thread for each project)

Any feedback/questions just comment dude!

Quizzes are great and yes you can make money from people playing your quizzes.

Your lazy way of doing it.... I wouldn't do that myself, but im a perfectionist and always look long term.

I mean its pretty easy to come up with questions, why scrape and spend time going through al of that to make sure it right. Example - Geography quiz - Capital of Egypt, what is the capital of Germany, etc etc. You cannot be lazy to write up a few questions, and yet you write this post lol. Its tedious but, most of life is really, and you arestill living it....

As for suggestions... SEO takes a while, but worth it. Social posting is fruitful but looooong.

Im working with SEO + SOCIAL...

Backlink opportunities are plenty, especially on one of the biggest quiz sites.

Hey dude appreciate your response. I get what you mean, each to their own in terms of the method.

When scraping there's no need for me to check the content it just uploads directly to the site. I don't re-read anything

My end goal is to generate passive or even aeroplane mode money. I want to be paid to be lazy - and I want it for everyone reading this too. The reason I wrote this and will continue to write more is to inspire others in the hope it may spark an idea in their mind.
