1. Blog posts to a quiz

You can repurpose blog content to a quiz or an assessment. You can create a knowledge quiz, educational quiz or a quiz contest. A quiz is a shorter form of assessment, not providing feedback for each question but a score and feedback in the end instead. The example above is our marketing quiz from 2016 that we made, after reading a blog post on 4 different types of marketers.
Let’s say you have a blog post on how to make homemade furniture, you can list up questions based on it, come up with wrong answers and create a feedback for the end. You apply the same feedback logic as with the assessment and split the score up into categories, designing different feedback for each. The feedback can be professional and/or include a sense of humour.
What you need is:
- Write down questions
- Write down 3 wrong answers for each question
- Determine the score

The feedback, in the end, is a score based on questions answered correctly and short text. If you have ten questions, you can split the score into three groups based on how many questions were answered correctly; 0-3, 4-6, or 7-10. Then you come with a name for each category and feedback.
The feedback can be purely professional or include humour. For people scoring 0-3 questions, you can propose improving knowledge in this field by reading your original blog post: For those answering 4-6 questions correctly, you can say the knowledge is good but can be improved if wanted and point to the blog post. For the highest score, you can complement the participant for a great performance.

A personality test is a series of multiple-choice questions, where each answer option points to a specific personality type. When completed, the user is presented with the personality that fits his answers. In the example above the Danish furniture company, Møbler asks ‘What type of couch-potato are you?’ The personality test leads the client to one of three different types of a couch potato: the luxury-potato, the classic one, or the individualist.
Let’s say you have a blog post about growing plants and your target audience is very interested in plants. You can repurpose the blog post to a personality test and ask your audience: ‘What type of plant are you? You will pick four different plant types, and add a personality description to them.
