00:00:05.809 --> 00:00:10.237
Hi everyone, welcome to today's episode of 10Minute Marketing.
00:00:10.237 --> 00:00:12.401
I'm your host, sonia Crystal Williams.
00:00:12.401 --> 00:00:21.167
Well, joining me today is Alephia Karaki, and Alephia is a funnel strategist and conversion and launch copywriter joining us.
00:00:21.167 --> 00:00:23.719
She's from, or currently living in, mumbai, india.
00:00:23.719 --> 00:00:25.945
We'll get into that a little later about her travels.
00:00:25.945 --> 00:00:27.969
Thank you so much for being here, alephia.
00:00:28.990 --> 00:00:32.323
I am super thrilled to be here and thank you so much for having me.
00:00:32.884 --> 00:00:34.569
Absolutely.
00:00:34.569 --> 00:00:50.506
So, Alefiya and I met on one of my favorite places that I think if you are a business owner and you want to meet other business owners, you need to be on LinkedIn, and that's how Alefiya and I met, so she slid into my DMs.
00:00:50.506 --> 00:01:06.930
So anyway, Alefiya, I want to get into talking about quizzes and what funnels are, because for a lot of business owners, I feel like this is a missed opportunity that could really lead to them creating leads.
00:01:06.930 --> 00:01:15.813
So, first, kind of break down for just someone who's completely unfamiliar with this terminology, what do we mean when we say quizzes?
00:01:15.813 --> 00:01:17.620
How does that apply to a business?
00:01:17.620 --> 00:01:19.986
And then, how does that lead into a funnel?
00:01:19.986 --> 00:01:23.040
Go ahead and break that down for me, perfect.
00:01:23.621 --> 00:01:30.094
Okay, I love that question because, as we can think like, oh, quizzes are like, so 2024.
00:01:30.094 --> 00:01:31.445
How can you not know about quizzes?
00:01:31.445 --> 00:01:36.575
Every day, someone slides into my DM saying enlighten me on this word, what does this mean?
00:01:36.575 --> 00:01:37.257
I'm like okay.
00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:37.739
Okay.
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:40.891
This means that there's a lot of brand awareness to do here, anyways.
00:01:40.891 --> 00:01:58.471
So a quiz is basically it can be different in different forms, but it's basically a challenge- based or fun- based questionnaire where you fill in, you get asked some questions and then you give answer to those questions.
00:01:58.471 --> 00:02:00.138
Usually those are MCQs.
00:02:00.138 --> 00:02:03.926
You don't have to type in manually any questions, so it's not a survey.
00:02:03.926 --> 00:02:12.692
They are pre-built questionnaires and on the basis of those questions you get answers at the end.
00:02:12.692 --> 00:02:16.830
So there are three type of quizzes that I usually talk about.
00:02:16.830 --> 00:02:20.629
One is a score-based quiz, which can be a challenge.
00:02:21.099 --> 00:02:23.108
I'll give an example for a client of mine.
00:02:23.108 --> 00:02:46.276
She had an e-commerce course, e-commerce email strategy course, and for her the quiz we created was we gave out nine questionnaires of real e-commerce email examples and then we had like okay, a mattress brand has xyz things and we need to solve x problem in their email marketing.
00:02:46.276 --> 00:02:47.941
Which strategy would you choose?
00:02:47.941 --> 00:02:51.870
And based on what their choices they are given the scores.
00:02:51.870 --> 00:02:56.564
So it basically assesses their scoring system.
00:02:56.564 --> 00:03:05.167
But when I say that this is fun and challenging, the same thing could have been just like a survey.
00:03:05.527 --> 00:03:08.813
You start an email project and what is the first thing you do?
00:03:08.813 --> 00:03:10.564
Do you audit the email sequence?
00:03:10.564 --> 00:03:12.129
Yes/N o -- even that's a quiz.
00:03:12.129 --> 00:03:20.870
That's a quiz that does not get buzz, that does not get hype, that does not get the right engagement that we are trying to create.
00:03:20.870 --> 00:03:23.908
So even that's a quiz, but those are not the good ones.
00:03:24.188 --> 00:03:48.400
They feel more educational or maybe too academic yeah, and you know, when you have those yes/ no quizzes, you can sense a pitch ahead that, okay, here she's going to tell me like oh, I don't have auditing skills here, buy my audit, or xyz so in that you can smell a pitch in from those yes/ no survey- like questions.
00:03:48.400 --> 00:04:01.200
And that's when people come to me with the quiz and they say like "hey, I did launch a quiz but it's not working, or I tried a quiz but it didn't work, and like "do you ask yes/ no questions, and they say yes; I'm like there it is, that's the biggest breaker for me.
00:04:05.902 --> 00:04:14.747
Then there is a personality type quiz, which works phenomenally well for e-commerce businesses and, for example, an eyewear brand.
00:04:14.747 --> 00:04:23.050
You have eight trends that are going on around eyewear and then you're like okay, which frame matches your personality?
00:04:23.050 --> 00:04:25.872
So, A) you get to know about your personality.
00:04:25.872 --> 00:04:30.194
B) you're also knowing, like, what my fashion style is.
00:04:30.194 --> 00:04:35.416
So, you take the quiz to find out your fashion style, what fits you and also about your personality.
00:04:35.416 --> 00:04:40.278
So people love, love, love, love learning about themselves and their personalities.
00:04:40.298 --> 00:04:40.720
I love those.
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:43.509
We can never get enough of ourselves.
00:04:43.509 --> 00:04:47.471
If you tell me what's my astrology sign, what does that mean?
00:04:47.471 --> 00:04:48.805
What does my palm say?
00:04:48.805 --> 00:04:51.447
Even those petty ones, we love them.
00:04:51.910 --> 00:04:52.069
Yeah.
00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:55.329
And that's why quizzes, and these for science quizzes, work so well.
00:04:55.329 --> 00:05:08.781
Then the third is diagnostic quizzes which are usually used for hospitals, firms or where, like actual serious brands, and where we are auditing something that

we want.
00:05:08.781 --> 00:05:19.608
We want the consumer to be aware of something there that they are not aware of okay, so this for, like, if you're talking about stages of awareness.
00:05:20.110 --> 00:05:22.033
Which stages of awareness is you?
00:05:22.033 --> 00:05:36.074
Only three percent of buyers are in that most aware stage where they will buy your product, but the other 97, either they are not even aware of the problem or they're not aware of you as a solution.
00:05:36.074 --> 00:05:47.562
Okay, so you want to make them aware so that awareness is built through quizzes.
00:05:47.562 --> 00:05:51.374
That's why the diagnostic quizzes are the ones that we use for people where some sort of educational element is involved.
00:05:51.374 --> 00:05:52.899
With e-commerce, we use personality stuff.
00:05:52.899 --> 00:06:00.733
With SaaS also, we use diagnostic stuff, diagnostic quizzes, and the last one was score challenges.
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:03.767
So that's where the fun element has to be there.
00:06:04.228 --> 00:06:04.630
Yeah.
00:06:04.630 --> 00:06:17.809
So the industry, that a business owner or the person that's responsible, maybe, for the digital marketing aspect, may depend or determine which quiz type is going to make the most sense.
00:06:17.809 --> 00:06:21.045
Even if they already have quizzes, maybe the conversions could be better.
00:06:21.045 --> 00:06:28.288
So that leads to a couple of questions or thoughts I had, as you were saying, that one thought was when I think of this
00:06:28.327 --> 00:06:33.166
I definitely have been one of those people to take the style quizzes, so I'm definitely I enjoy those.
00:06:33.166 --> 00:06:51.206
It also makes me think about back in the day, pen and paper, when we used to read magazines, how there would be those diagnostic type of quizzes and magazines and they would have a scoring system and say well, if you scored between one and five, you fall into this category.
00:06:51.206 --> 00:06:53.033
If you scored between six and ten, you fall into this category.
00:06:53.033 --> 00:06:57.144
What's beautiful, though, now is in a digital world, we now can get a lead from that.
00:06:57.144 --> 00:07:04.120
So one question to you is where does the lead capture happen in the quiz process?
00:07:07.523 --> 00:07:14.329
So if I am the visitor to go and take your quiz, do I enter my email address first.
00:07:14.329 --> 00:07:16.091
Is it the last thing I do?
00:07:16.091 --> 00:07:18.233
Like, where does that fit into this process?
00:07:18.954 --> 00:07:28.963
It depends from industry to industry, okay, but with e-commerce quizzes, sometimes what we do is we ask for the email in the second question.
00:07:28.963 --> 00:07:35.869
Okay, we ask for the name in the first one and the email in the second one and we make it in a way that we want to personalize.
00:07:35.869 --> 00:07:37.612
Then after that it will change.
00:07:37.612 --> 00:07:50.553
Like before that I'm not addressing you
by your name, yeah, but after that question I'm like hi, Sonja, you mentioned the xyz and now it tells me about this, like, um, you have this type of mattress.
00:07:50.553 --> 00:07:54.824
So in all the questions moving forward, I'm I'm addressing you by your name.
00:07:54.824 --> 00:07:57.690
So it becomes extremely personalized.
00:07:57.690 --> 00:07:59.521
So that's one way to go for it.
00:07:59.521 --> 00:08:08.170
And the second way is we ask for the email just before, like they finish the questions, and then they're just like oh, what am I, what am I?
00:08:08.170 --> 00:08:11.189
And then before that there is like OK, just that one last step.
00:08:11.189 --> 00:08:14.848
So we captured their email there, ok so it could be.
00:08:15.230 --> 00:08:16.120
Yeah, as you say that.
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:23.810
That kind of reminds me of when I took, where they said OK, we're going to provide your results, provide us your email and we'll send you an email with the results, and then you provide the email.
00:08:23.810 --> 00:08:31.225
They give you the results instantly on screen, but they also email you, yeah and I prefer that so I always say that never.
00:08:32.248 --> 00:08:36.880
Don't like, do not like, never say that okay, when they enter their email address.
00:08:36.880 --> 00:08:45.909
Never have another page where they say okay, now go to your email service provider and then check like, then get your results.
00:08:45.909 --> 00:08:59.788
There and there give them the results, because then, from a UX perspective, you might frustrate the customer, because sometimes we are signing up for emails from a different email address and we're using a different email address.
00:08:59.788 --> 00:09:04.245
So, like, suppose if I'm surfing my phone, I'm surfing this list on my phone.
00:09:04.245 --> 00:09:06.147
That's my personal personal email address.
00:09:06.801 --> 00:09:09.750
I prefer getting these promotional emails on my work email address.
00:09:09.750 --> 00:09:10.904
I still open them.
00:09:10.904 --> 00:09:21.811
But now, if you're saying, like check your work email, that work email might be just on my laptop, but you're asking me to go there and then you're not even giving me the results.
00:09:22.299 --> 00:09:23.907
So, you frustrate the customer.
00:09:23.907 --> 00:09:24.662
So don't do that.
00:09:24.662 --> 00:09:31.562
Give them the results immediately and and have something else on the results page that leads them to the email.
00:09:31.562 --> 00:09:35.352
Okay, so the e-commerce course example I gave you.
00:09:35.352 --> 00:09:47.095
We had a 50 pager PDF where we broke down what is the right strategy, where is the right strategy, and where the wrong ones could be the right ones in which scenario?
00:09:47.095 --> 00:09:53.768
And then we also had a webinar where that person taught her students on how to get more clients through that webinar.
00:09:53.768 --> 00:10:03.828
So people were like anyway, it would be top of their mind, and they did rush to check the PDFs, like why did I get the wrong answer, or whatever it is.
00:10:03.828 --> 00:10:05.743
And then they did open the email.
00:10:05.743 --> 00:10:07.167
We do not frustrate them.
00:10:07.167 --> 00:10:08.590
We give them the results.
00:10:08.750 --> 00:10:10.902
And it was a choice to go to that email.
00:10:10.902 --> 00:10:12.629
Right now it becomes a choice.
00:10:12.629 --> 00:10:14.796
Now it doesn't become like a frustration.
00:10:14.796 --> 00:10:28.604
With e-commerce, you can say like, okay, I send this and now, um, this is your style and now I've curated a personal Pinterest board that matches your style and you'll get that via email.
00:10:28.604 --> 00:10:33.394
So now I am prompt, like now I have the habit of opening your email.
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:39.129
Yeah, how do business owners approach that results part?
00:10:39.129 --> 00:10:40.972
And you gave a few great examples.
00:10:40.972 --> 00:10:56.524
So one would be they get a PDF file back and it seems like there might be groupings, I guess, of results where they might have, like, if I have a PDF file, it's not going to be everyone gets the same file, but maybe there's a few different groupings.
00:10:56.524 --> 00:11:00.625
Like, could you explain, like, what does that look like for results?
00:11:01.687 --> 00:11:12.554
This is like three days ago I delivered a 90 minute master class just for this okay, so we're going to deliver this and and everyone needs to get in touch with you to make it by size.
00:11:14.565 --> 00:11:18.091
So t he cliche answer is it depends.
00:11:18.091 --> 00:11:18.572
Yeah.
00:11:18.572 --> 00:11:26.942
And then the long, longer answer is that usually we have different groupings so we have different like either--
00:11:27.003 --> 00:11:33.216
If you're doing a personality type, we can, we can take in human design into the perspective.
00:11:33.216 --> 00:11:35.767
And people have assertive traits.
00:11:35.767 --> 00:11:39.315
Some people have more softer, calmer, peaceful side.
00:11:39.315 --> 00:11:46.606
So we usually take into human design into consideration so that we can win their trust and likability from that first section.
00:11:46.606 --> 00:11:48.571
The first section is not to sell.
00:11:49.030 --> 00:12:05.597
It's just like I am describing you so much in detail that you think, like this is something like how I usually take astrology for example here that when that's super relevant, so relevant that you think that this has to make sense, like this is it.
00:12:05.597 --> 00:12:09.370
Like you know, that's how horoscopes are made, they're relevant to everyone.
00:12:09.370 --> 00:12:14.611
Like today you'll see the light and you'll have that, and that's it's so particular and so specific.
00:12:14.611 --> 00:12:16.325
So specificity is there.
00:12:16.325 --> 00:12:30.101
Like just before this call I was with I was consulting someone on a travel quiz and where she had like what's
your personality style and what type of river cruise would I recommend based on that personality style?
00:12:30.101 --> 00:12:31.208
Like, what's your traveling style.
00:12:31.851 --> 00:12:35.052
And there she said that one of you prefer luxury.
00:12:35.052 --> 00:12:36.255
And then it was just there.
00:12:36.255 --> 00:12:37.448
Like you are a person of luxury.
00:12:37.448 --> 00:12:38.894
I was like no, go specific.
00:12:38.894 --> 00:12:45.395
Like tell them, not just in travel, but how their day-to-day life reflects luxury.
00:12:45.395 --> 00:12:52.613
Like whenever you go to the supermarket to choose wine, you don't even look to the bottom shelf and you're always like the elite person.
00:12:52.613 --> 00:12:59.477
You're the Harvey Specter who would never settle for the random tailor suits.
00:12:59.477 --> 00:13:05.217
Your suits are from XYZ brand and you're someone who just walks and talks class.
00:13:05.217 --> 00:13:09.370
So why shouldn't your travel experience reflect your personality?
00:13:09.370 --> 00:13:10.513
And then you take it.
00:13:10.513 --> 00:13:16.352
Take them so you know when you're telling them, you're telling them about themselves.
00:13:16.352 --> 00:13:24.849
But you, what you want is that trust, that smile, that likability, that nod that they are like okay, this is amazing.
00:13:24.948 --> 00:13:31.494
I like that, like I know that, and you know you're kind of like fulfilling their personalities.
00:13:31.494 --> 00:13:33.936
Yeah, so yeah.
00:13:33.956 --> 00:13:37.758
So quizzes can build trust is one of the things I've heard.
00:13:37.758 --> 00:13:43.982
In some cases, specificity is super helpful because it makes it more relatable.
00:13:43.982 --> 00:13:55.981
And then and these are really just great sales tactics in general, even though the idea is not to make the person feel like they're being sold to um, and so that's really important too and then some personalization.
00:13:56.042 --> 00:14:13.076
In some cases, um can also in all cases so, like in this case, if it wasn't a quiz, it would be like, okay, you're going to a cruise and I would uh show all the ways that you can enjoy a cruise.
00:14:13.076 --> 00:14:23.432
But why this makes it super personalized is because each of them is getting a tailored cruise experience according to their personal travel personality style.
00:14:23.432 --> 00:14:27.594
If you're adventurous, you're getting an itinerary just for that adventurous.
00:14:27.594 --> 00:14:35.615
And you know the whole reason why quizzes and the sales part is so effective after the quiz because it's literally me.
00:14:35.615 --> 00:14:39.695
It's not speaking to five different types of people, it's me, legit me.
00:14:39.695 --> 00:14:41.159
So, okay, this is me.
00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:46.196
For me, this is just literally what I want and this speaks to my personality, so let's just do it.
00:14:47.825 --> 00:14:52.998
So this question might throw you on the spot and if you don't have an answer, that's totally fine.
00:14:52.998 --> 00:15:06.578
But just curious of when people, let's say, they end up on a landing page to take a quiz and we know, like, average open rate on an email campaign is, you know, 23 or 20 to 25%.
00:15:06.578 --> 00:15:11.889
Average open rate on text messaging campaigns could be 90 plus percent for quizzes.
00:15:11.889 --> 00:15:15.073
Okay, what would you guesstimate?
00:15:15.073 --> 00:15:23.365
Or if you have like an actual, accurate, based on at least your experience with your clients, like how many people actually see the quiz and then they take the quiz.
00:15:24.850 --> 00:15:27.212
Love that question and this is what I talk about.
00:15:27.212 --> 00:15:35.261
Like, average lead magnet conversion rate is around 3 percent to 30 percent and 30% being the highest.
00:15:35.261 --> 00:15:37.203
Yeah, and with quizzes.
00:15:37.203 --> 00:15:44.041
This is according to ConvertK it with quizzes the average conversion rate starts from the 30% is the lowest.
00:15:44.041 --> 00:15:51.725
So that's why even the most like yucky type quizzes on the internet, they still perform.
00:15:51.725 --> 00:15:52.748
I'm going to get leads.
00:15:52.748 --> 00:15:54.956
Yeah, they are still like.
00:15:54.956 --> 00:15:56.456
It starts from 30%.
00:15:56.971 --> 00:16:01.201
So, the quiz average is 30 to 55 ish percent.
00:16:01.201 --> 00:16:04.818
Okay, that is like those yes/ no surveys.
00:16:04.818 --> 00:16:06.684
And even that is falling in this range.
00:16:06.684 --> 00:16:11.053
The quizzes I've done for clients we've seen above 75.
00:16:11.053 --> 00:16:11.134
Wow.
00:16:11.134 --> 00:16:13.758
So if 100 people are coming in, 75 to 90 people are coming in.
00:16:13.758 --> 00:16:17.783
75% to 90% people are taking that quiz.
00:16:17.783 --> 00:16:27.220
Huge, because what we just don't have, that like only one pager snippet, which usually people only have, that one pager, like take this quiz.
00:16:27.769 --> 00:16:31.039
What we also do is we create, like, we treat it like a sales page.
00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:41.714
So we start with a problem or a dream state and then we say, like this is the context of your life right now and this is the question that is on top of your mind.
00:16:41.714 --> 00:16:47.412
Um, like, shall I buy a home in Yorkshire or shall I buy a home in London?
00:16:47.412 --> 00:16:53.092
Like that's the question and that's the answer that you'll get after taking the quiz.
00:16:53.092 --> 00:17:00.490
Okay, so, and then what we also do is like below in the uh, what do you call it?
00:17:00.490 --> 00:17:08.414
After the fold in the next sections, um, we also break them down on what they will get after they take the quiz.
00:17:08.736 --> 00:17:11.547
Okay, so they will get PDF, they will get the Pinterest board.
00:17:11.547 --> 00:17:18.567
So it also compels them to take the quiz, not just for the answer, but also for the next lead magnet.
00:17:19.028 -->
00:17:44.324
Because here's the thing that people miss quizzes are great lead gen um, lead gen magnet, but they're only attraction magnets yeah, they attract interest so top of the funnel somewhere up there very top of the funnel, like if you just leave a quiz and then you just leave a results page and then you ask them to open the like, go to the email.
00:17:44.324 --> 00:17:45.246
It will not work.
00:17:45.246 --> 00:18:05.832
You need to have that conversion magnet in between, which can be a webinar, which can be a PDF, which can be a book, which can be like a video campaign, which can be some like if you're talking about e-commerce businesses, it could be some special discounts or you know, some special boxes, gift boxes, whatever it is.
00:18:05.832 --> 00:18:13.421
There has to be something more on the results page than just delivering the information.
00:18:14.430 --> 00:18:14.651
Wow.
00:18:14.651 --> 00:18:18.240
So I'm going to get down to asking you a few final questions.
00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:26.919
So one is and you've kind of brought this to light but for people who are really new to quizzes, these quizzes should be built on a landing page.
00:18:26.919 --> 00:18:29.022
Should that landing page live on their website?
00:18:29.022 --> 00:18:32.017
Should it be hosted by some external software?
00:18:32.939 --> 00:18:35.190
So you'll need an external software to host a quiz.
00:18:35.190 --> 00:18:47.281
Unless you have like a super huge marketing budget and you want to build that software yourself, like Omo Health did, then feel free to do everything by yourself, but you'll need an external software.
00:18:47.281 --> 00:18:52.582
The softwares I love the best are Interact, Typeform and ScoreApp.
00:18:52.582 --> 00:18:54.976
I really like these three softwares.
00:18:54.976 --> 00:18:56.220
They're very easy to use.
00:18:56.220 --> 00:19:09.059
Typeform has a video element, Interact is amazing with GIFs and images, and then ScoreApp is the only quiz software which can make personalized diagnosis in each problem sector.
00:19:09.540 --> 00:19:09.761
Yeah.
00:19:10.530 --> 00:19:14.455
So, yeah, all those three and you can host your own.
00:19:14.455 --> 00:19:20.442
So if you're hosting the whole landing page on Interact, the landing page will show Interact.
00:19:20.442 --> 00:19:29.119
So what you can do is host the landing page on your website, like if you're using Squarespace or what is that.
00:19:29.380 --> 00:19:30.663
WordPress yeah, yeah.
00:19:31.349 --> 00:19:33.753
You can use WordPress and whatever you want to use.
00:19:33.753 --> 00:19:39.971
You can use that and then you just embed the quiz on your site, okay, so that?
00:19:39.971 --> 00:19:47.285
So you don't have that watermark or that um URL of that quiz software coming in.
00:19:47.285 --> 00:19:49.778
So that's what I recommend you host it all in-house.
00:19:49.778 --> 00:20:07.915
But if you're like super starting out doing under 5k a month and you want to
just like outsource everything, so host it on the quiz software and then, when your budget grows, host it on your domain got it and and budget wise, what you do is come in what?
00:20:07.976 --> 00:20:10.481
What are the parts that you handle on the quiz side of things?
00:20:10.481 --> 00:20:14.055
Do you handle it from top to bottom or come in and do a specific aspect?
00:20:14.736 --> 00:20:22.645
So I have different tiers and the first tier that we work with is we start with research.
00:20:22.645 --> 00:20:26.500
So it's like it's a non-negotiable, it has to be done.
00:20:26.500 --> 00:20:27.955
It has to be done really well.
00:20:27.955 --> 00:20:49.303
So we spend like two weeks to three weeks on that and that includes surveying your buyers, the one who didn't buy, the people who wrote like negative comments, your competitors, conducting interviews, maybe some guerrilla researchers, then also discussions like going on surveys and forums, amazon reviews, youtube reviews.
00:20:49.303 --> 00:20:56.698
All that process is done and it's very crucial because you have to use your customers words' words when you're talking to them.
00:20:56.698 --> 00:21:07.897
So research, then research report, offer optimization, because if you don't have a good enough offer and you're leading that quiz to that offer, it will not convert.
00:21:07.897 --> 00:21:10.644
So even that's important offer optimization.
00:21:10.644 --> 00:21:12.589
Then you also do story scraping.
00:21:12.589 --> 00:21:28.442
So we meet with the founder and we scrape their stories because we want to lead, we want to create, like in 2024, just pain point marketing is not working, like, hey, you have this problem that we need to surround that problem in an ecosystem of stories.
00:21:29.170 --> 00:21:31.638
So we do story scraping and then we get to the writing.
00:21:31.638 --> 00:21:41.972
So with the writing I write the quiz landing page, the quiz results pages, the emails, everything that goes into the quiz ecosystem, and then that's the first package.
00:21:41.972 --> 00:21:44.861
Then, if they want, we do the implementation and design as well.
00:21:45.450 --> 00:22:02.159
OK, the second package yeah this is way more thought out than I ever imagined and I love how you broke it down in such a short period of time, because I've been on Interact, I've been on Type form and they have those quiz templates and they make it look so easy.
00:22:02.159 --> 00:22:10.132
But the way you've just described it, it seems like you could get way more out of this by taking the approach that you just outlined.
00:22:10.132 --> 00:22:12.057
So I want to thank you so much for that.
00:22:12.057 --> 00:22:24.300
Alefiya, um, I always like to end every every episode sharing um a little bit about you in our lightning round, so I'm just going to ask you a few quick final questions as we wrap things up.
00:22:24.300 --> 00:22:32.084
One of the conversations you and I had previously was just about your extensive travels and just such an interesting background and all the things you've done.
00:22:32.084 --> 00:22:34.376
You shared you've lived a few places around the world.
00:22:34.376 --> 00:22:36.483
What has been one of your favorite places that you've lived so few places around the world?
00:22:36.483 --> 00:22:40.173
What has what has been one of your favorite places that you've lived so far and why?
00:22:41.415 --> 00:22:41.936
Nairobi.
00:22:41.936 --> 00:22:49.153
I love Nairobi, one reason it has the perfect weather all around the year.
00:22:49.453 --> 00:23:07.375
Oh, wow so it's like not super cold, it never snows, but it's like that perfect chilly where you just have the comfiest night every single night and you can just see my smile widening and widening on the name of right, yeah, and the atmosphere is amazing, the greenery.
00:23:07.375 --> 00:23:09.963
Then you get wildlife every now and then.
00:23:09.963 --> 00:23:23.623
I love animals and jungle so you get to experience like musaima or whatever it is, every now and then, whenever you want it, some crazy jungle experiences which, if you want to know, you can hit me up and I'll share some lion photos and rhinosaurs, geocene photos and all that.
00:23:24.609 --> 00:23:25.238
So yeah, Nairobi.
00:23:25.805 --> 00:23:26.872
I love Nairobi.
00:23:26.892 --> 00:23:29.279
Okay, on my list, on my list to go.
00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:36.682
And while you were in Nairobi, I think you shared with me in a previous life-- I always say in a previous life when you did something completely different to what you do now.
00:23:36.682 --> 00:23:38.144
But you mentioned you owned a bakery.
00:23:38.144 --> 00:23:46.393
So did you just jump right into this world of digital marketing and quizzes and funnels like from owning a bakery, or was there some kind of step in between?
00:23:46.413 --> 00:23:49.082
Yeah, it's different for all of us.
00:23:49.082 --> 00:23:57.726
So when I started this business, I was still in my final year of graduation, so I'm 24 and this is what I did when I was 19.
00:23:57.726 --> 00:24:07.336
So COVID hit and I was like, okay, I really need a hobby along with my university classes which was just there in the morning, so let me just do something.
00:24:07.336 --> 00:24:13.563
And I wanted to save $800 USD for a university event.
00:24:13.563 --> 00:24:22.439
I was like it held a lot of meaning to me, so I didn't want to be a spoiled brat and just get it from my dad, so let me just find ways to earn this money.
00:24:22.990 --> 00:24:29.625
So at first I started with baking cheese, homemade cheese, and then my mother was like I don't think this is gonna pick up.
00:24:29.625 --> 00:24:34.338
But I was trying different things and I loved baking, but no one at my like.
00:24:34.338 --> 00:24:37.272
We were only four people at our house and it was covid, so no one ate.
00:24:37.272 --> 00:24:39.798
So, okay, I need to find people who can eat it.
00:24:39.798 -->
00:24:49.078
Yeah, and I need to find the budget to make good stuff so that I don't like um, I don't wipe out all my mother's grocery budget.
00:24:49.078 --> 00:24:50.786
That's how the bakery was born.
00:24:50.786 --> 00:25:02.200
My brother is a photographer, so we had that edge where the branding was super luxurious and the photos were super fancy, so that's what kept the eyes like I was a loot.
00:25:02.200 --> 00:25:04.548
My mother and father was like you loot people.
00:25:04.548 --> 00:25:14.051
So I charged like around 200- 300 for a cake and around 100 for a brownie tray and whereas the normal price there was 30.
00:25:14.071 --> 00:25:22.073
But just because of that photography luxury yeah perceived luxury and that's where I got into marketing.
00:25:22.073 --> 00:25:22.796
So I used to run.
00:25:22.796 --> 00:25:28.279
I figured out this whole Instagram thing because I was running my campaigns on there.
00:25:28.710 --> 00:25:32.917
And then a friend helped me with Facebook Ad campaigns and I was really enjoying the marketing side.
00:25:32.917 --> 00:25:40.078
Like, so much so that I wanted to stop doing the big like, outsource the big, the breaky part, and just keeping doing the marketing campaigns.
00:25:40.078 --> 00:25:45.150
And someone introduced me, like they had, a virtual online marketing seminar.
00:25:45.150 --> 00:25:53.535
I went to that and then I got hooked and a lot of events happened which would take another 10 minutes so that doesn't matter to you all.
00:25:53.535 --> 00:25:55.419
But then I came to India.
00:25:55.419 --> 00:25:57.391
I had like 40 60 days to do nothing.
00:25:57.471 --> 00:26:04.778
My husband I just got married and my husband went for a pilgrimage and that's where I was like, okay, let me just brainstorm ways on what I can do.
00:26:04.778 --> 00:26:11.364
So I started off by cold emailing people on can I be your bakery startup consultant?
00:26:11.364 --> 00:26:13.457
And no one responded.
00:26:13.457 --> 00:26:15.957
And then one thing led to another.
00:26:15.957 --> 00:26:18.880
I started with LinkedIn marketing, then funnels.
00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:21.679
So I did funnels for one of the biggest names on LinkedIn.
00:26:21.980 --> 00:26:22.361
Yeah.
00:26:23.310 --> 00:26:25.137
End-to-end launches and end-to-end funnels.
00:26:25.137 --> 00:26:44.144
And then in March last this year I had one quiz project and it was like it just landed like out of the blue, and it was a quiz project and it got these 75 to 80% conversions, whereas we were getting 30 to 40% average.
00:26:44.144 --> 00:26:46.797
And I was like, okay, this is is something different.
00:26:46.797 --> 00:26:48.323
And then I had another project.
00:26:48.323 --> 00:26:50.009
I was like, hey, this just happened.
00:26:50.009 --> 00:26:54.442
I can't guarantee any results, but I think that this is something interesting and we can try it.
00:26:54.442 --> 00:27:00.083
And then it crossed like it was above more than 80 percent that's okay, this is not beginner's luck.
00:27:00.411 --> 00:27:04.101
Something's clicking and that's what we need to niche down into quizzes.
00:27:04.101 --> 00:27:11.971
So now we, I, my whole team, everyone is just doing quizzes, and then if the clients want help with funnels, we do that as well.
00:27:11.971 --> 00:27:30.278
And the thing that that's why I talked about offer optimization and having the right funnel in place is because, because I've done funnels, I can look at the larger picture yes where the quiz fits in into the funnel yeah, very huge congratulations on such wonderful success.
00:27:30.859 --> 00:27:36.862
How can people get in touch with you if they want to get more information about your services or just see the lion photos?
00:27:38.752 --> 00:27:47.113
I live and breathe on LinkedIn, so you can find me on LinkedIn: a-l-e-f-i-y-a-k-h-o-r-a-k-i, Alefiya Khoraki.
