I got 2 social account, 1xFB and 1xInstagram, what else should I create?

I'm still improving the site, and thinking to do another one with categories for games movies etc
Should Quiz have images or only text is enough?
Should I have a welcome page with some text or only the Option to select the quiz?

I would suggest to not complicate it with more than one site. Put all your focus into one. Games & Movie quizzes can do very well though.

Text is alright but having images will always be a better user experience. It also depends on the niche, I stay away from using images on movie & game quizzes due to the copyright.

Twitter.
Include images. People tend to like them.
I have a welcome page and think it's a good idea to have one. You can front load an affiliate article here too if you want.

Yep, I think its more social proof than actually getting many users.

You can still use other images. For example, if the quiz is about a movie and a question talks about a horse in some regard you can use a picture of a horse instead of a movie scene. You can still find images related to the question in some way that aren't copyrighted!

I want to ask question: isn't facebook not allowing quiz viral site? did they blocked url?
 
No they have blocked personality type quizzes and one like which kind of fruit are you.

So there's a lot of questions to unpack in this post. If I miss anything I'm sure @Jammy0308 or @se900se can help further.

First off, yes. It still works.

For domain if you're in a pinch godaddy offers dollar .com deals for new users. Get a .com domain.
You should get paid hosting, the free options are pretty bad unless you use something like github pages and you cant really make a quiz site on those. I mean you could but itd be an irritating feat of tediousness.

So if you're a beginner in terms of website building I'd go with wp and go from there. I haven't touched seo in terms of quiz sites because google doesn't really like them all that much, adsense banned me early on cause most of my traffic was "invalid" when all my traffic was coming from social sources.

The api idea is neat but from a technical standpoint that's not how you'd do that. Since you display a lack of technical understand here I reccomend just using wp and building your knowledge pool until you know the proper approach.(just use a data base and pull a random question )

I reccomend your quiz site have a theme. Weather its multi niche or not doesn't matter imo but a theme is good. Think IQ, personality, etc.

I personally use a mixture of ads run by hoologanmedia.com @se900se runs this service, and a few affiliate offers on my site. As I said earlier adsense banned me early on and I haven't looked back.

I reccomend you look into making social media presence for your quiz site and brand it and get the name out there before paid ads. I also pretty much only do fb ads but I know @Jammy0308 does shout outs and has some decent success with it.

Start by making a site and social profiles. Then get some traffic and add ads.

AdSense does react to spikes of traffic! It a perfect network if it goes through a server, but without GAM it's very risky.
This point in particular makes me smile in the shadow of the latest events.



Manually tuned quizzes will always perform better. I never tried API, but I tried a lot of quizzes and the only reason I created what I created is because I wanted to shape specific user behavior that will be profitable for the ads. No matter how empty the page is, the ads will slow down the total load time. If the quiz loads too fast and the question doesn't require time to think user may get to the next page without the ad being loaded, thus for free.



Any domain is fine as long as it doesn't look shady. Domains with .com or expensive .io domains can still look shady, and .gq or .me domain can look very perfect. Don't overthink it, nor spend a lot of time, pick something simple and easy to write.

Host - think ahead, if you plan to have 500 concurrent users you need something very stable.



Both options will work fine. One user has huge site about science quizzes, another has 1000 quizzes on multiple topics - they both strive. The main point here - choose something you want to work with. If you like tv shows - work with tv shows content, don't work with math, and vice versa. You need to like what you do, this is 50% of success.



You can literally have all the ad networks in the world at the same time if you run ad server.
If you don't run ad server ad networks may have rules such as if you work with X you cannot work with Y.
