If you’re spending money on solo ads but struggling to get results, you’re not alone. Many marketers face the same frustration: solo ads bring in fast traffic, but most of it is cold. So, how do you warm that traffic up and turn it into real leads and sales?
The answer lies in using a quiz funnel—a smart, interactive way to engage cold visitors, build trust instantly, and convert more clicks into buyers. Instead of sending people to a generic landing page or hard sales pitch, you walk them through a quiz that feels fun and personalized.
Quiz funnel strategies are one of the smartest ways to convert cold solo ad traffic into warm, engaged leads. While solo ads can deliver fast and affordable clicks, the reality is that most of the traffic is cold. That means people clicking your link don’t know you, don’t trust you, and usually won’t buy right away.
If you’re sending them directly to a sales page or generic landing form, you’re probably losing out on 80–90% of that potential. But there’s a better way to turn those cold clicks into real relationships—and real revenue.
Here’s what happens when you send solo ad traffic into a quiz funnel instead.

🚦 Why Solo Ad Traffic Needs a Better Approach
Solo ads are great for their speed and scalability, but they often attract subscribers who are just curious—not ready to buy. That’s why sending them straight to a cold sales page rarely converts.
Instead, use a quiz funnel to engage first, build trust, and qualify your leads before presenting your offer.

🧠 How a Quiz Funnel Works
Here’s the basic flow of a quiz funnel:
- Ad Click – Your solo ad sends visitors to a curiosity-based quiz like “What Type of Marketer Are You?”
- Interactive Questions – They answer 5–7 quick questions about their goals or challenges.
- Personalized Result – The quiz gives them a tailored result (plus maybe a surprise bonus).
- Email Opt-In – They submit their email to see the full result or get the bonus.
- Redirect to Offer – Now warmed up, they’re redirected to your affiliate offer, lead magnet, or sales page.

✅ Automatic Segmentation – Their answers help you tag and target leads with tailored follow-ups.
✅ More Conversions – Leads are warmed up, trust you more, and are more likely to buy.
