Some Advice for Getting Your Quizzes Featured

This website has countless quiz-makers and user-created quizzes. Seeing the "featured quizzes" that are put onto the front page every day, you might be wondering: "Why can't my quizzes get featured? I put a lot of effort into them but they just seem to go unnoticed every time!" Well, if you feel that way, I'm here to tell you that you're far from alone. I have felt this way before, and many of us probably have at one point or another. If you're feeling this way right now and need some help, just read on. Here's some advice to improve your odds of getting a feature.

Okay, if you're desperate for a feature, here's the first thing you should do: lower your expectations. You see, only a select few user-made quizzes make it onto the front page. In fact, that's why they're called "featured" quizzes - they're the best of the best.

My advice here is: don't expect a feature, or even a large number of noms/takes. Celebrate small progress (e.g. "This quiz got 50 takes! That's a new PB!"), and remember every take counts. This will calm you down and keep you motivated to continue making quizzes.

If you want better odds of your quizzes getting featured, then it's crucial to get more people to notice them. After all, how can a quiz be featured if no one even sees it?

There are many different ways to achieve that, such as posting your quizzes on the Message Board, Reddit, or another popular social media platform. This way, your quizzes will generate more impressions and get slightly better odds for a feature (slightly, but every bit counts!). There is one caveat though: DO NOT post low-quality or spam quizzes. They paint a really bad picture of you and might even lead people to keep away from your future quizzes.

The next suggestion is to try to make quizzes on the more popular topics here on JetPunk. These include geography, history, etc. More people will be interested in these topics compared to, say, a quiz on some really niche pop culture (like a movie no one knows about or a video game most people have never heard of).

So, try to stick to popular topics as much as you can. If you aren't really a nerd in those topics, feel free to do some research! It helps with your chances of getting a feature, and you can also learn new things at the same time!

This is arguably a smaller thing compared to the ones above, but still important: always proofread your quizzes. Minor mistakes can add up. Make sure your quiz has no spelling or grammatical errors, and the type-ins are all correct.

Also make sure your quiz title is capitalized correctly. We all know a saying that goes "don't judge a book by its cover", but if your cover isn't any good, people probably won't even bother looking at your quizzes, let alone taking them.

Last but not least, try to make higher-quality quizzes instead of just making more and more crappy quizzes. As is proved many times on this website, it often takes just one especially innovative and original idea for a quiz to get featured. If you finish making your quizzes in just a few minutes and without too much effort, then they probably won't garner much attention from the public or the Quizmaster.

I think that's all I have to say here. Again, don't be in a hurry to try to get a feature. Feature takes time, effort and luck. Only a very small minority of quizzes get featured. Instead of getting anxious or frustrated, just stay motivated, keep making high-quality quizzes, and don't give up. Your day will come.
