T.V. Bloggers - Drive User Engagement with Quiz Widgets!
Some people just like to watch T.V. It’s a fun past time, something to have on in the background, a distraction - any show can be on, it doesn’t matter. Then, on the other side of the spectrum, you have T.V. connoisseurs. And among that elite group, there are the few, the proud - the T.V. bloggers.
For you, the T.V. blogger, T.V. is so much more than just a hobby or a distraction. You live and breathe your favorite shows. You would pawn all your earthly possessions - except your computer, of course - to meet Joss Whedon or Rob Thomas or J.J. Abrams. You appreciate the art of cramming a graceful, fascinating storyline into twenty-three or forty-four minutes once per week. T.V. is your life, and you love to write about it.
But, as a writer, you live for feedback. There’s nothing more discouraging than writing and writing and not having anyone read it or pay attention to it. And as a blogger in a popular subject like television, you’re constantly vying for readers’ attention, going up against sites that have more opportunities for exposure than you do. And once you do manage to get a foothold, ensuring that your readers come back is even harder than getting them to stop by in the first place. You can create all the awesome content you want, but that won’t necessarily make you stand out in the multitudes. So what’s the solution?
Well, there’s no magical formula that works for everyone. But we have something we think will help. In a word: quiz widgets.
Okay, that’s a little more than one word. In fact, it’s two words. But they’re very good words. I mean, just look at this little fella:
A lovely, fully customizable, five-question quiz packaged in an adorable widget wrapping. It’s like Christmas all over again. It’s the perfect way to get readers to stick around, because a quiz is a challenge, and no one can resist it. Soon they’ll find themselves sucked in to what you’re actually writing, and coming back for more.
Because we have thousands of questions on hundreds of topics, it’s easy for you to find a relevant widget for almost any post. Say you need to write about the latest Flight of the Conchords news. Check it:
Hey Conchords fans, have you heard the good news? The show’s not back on HBO until February, but right now, Funny or Die is streaming the first episode for anyone in the U.S. who wants to check it out early. But think fast! The video won’t last forever. The episode’s getting accolades from fans all over, so jump on this while you have the chance. You don’t even need to subscribe to HBO to get a little fix of Bret and Jemaine.
What could be more perfect than that? News you can use, and a quiz that challenges your knowledge. From a reader’s point of view, it’s the ultimate invitation to interact with you instead of just reading and moving on.
And did I mention the widgets are fully customizable? I think I did, but let’s go into more detail anyway. While you have to contact us for special orders, even our basic widgets allow you to create a look that works for you. Small widgets are perfect for sidebars, but if it’s article embedding that you seek, consider our large model:
Nice, right? As you may have gathered from the examples so far, you can alter the text to be any color you like. And, of course, pick any topic. From Aqua Teen Hunger Force to Grey’s Anatomy, we’ve got a huge selection of trivia, written by our own experts. We’ve also integrated some user-created trivia, which is screened for content and quality by our discerning staff. Which means that if you need trivia on a particular T.V. show we haven’t gotten around to yet, you can create your own questions! The turnaround time for approval is generally just a few days, and before you know it, the questions will be live on our site and ready to be served in widget form.
We are constantly working to develop new tools for bloggers and webmasters; in the very near future, we will give you the capability to instantly create a widget with your own quiz - no approval process required. Look for this to be launched in a few days.
