136: How to Build a Quiz Lead Magnet That Actually Converts

Ever built a lead magnet that got plenty of clicks and almost no completions? That gap between interest and follow-through is the whole reason this episode exists. I built a quiz lead magnet inside Interact, watched my view rate come in exactly where I wanted, and then watched my completion rate tank. This episode walks through why a quiz outperforms a typical PDF or checklist in the first place, and what I found once I went looking for why mine wasn't finishing the job.

What you'll learn:

Why a quiz creates a different kind of opt-in motivation than a typical freebieHow question-by-question analytics can show you exactly where people are dropping off, instead of leaving you guessingWhy segmenting your list by quiz result changes what your follow-up emails can actually doWhat happens when every outcome in your quiz assumes something is broken, and why that can quietly cost you completionsThe two changes I made after diagnosing my own drop-off, and why I'm still waiting on the results
