How to build a quiz in MemberVault with the MV Sidekick

Use Claude and the MV Sidekick to build a branded quiz that grows your email list, with no separate quiz tool to pay for.

Written by Erin Kelly

A quiz is a fun, low-pressure way for new people to take a first step with you.

With the MV Sidekick, you can build one right inside MemberVault. There's no separate quiz tool to pay for, and your price doesn't go up as your list grows.

The MV Sidekick is an AI advisor that runs in Claude and comes free with every MemberVault paid plan. It knows how MemberVault works, so the quiz it writes is ready to paste into your account. You don't need to know any code.

See how Alyssa Avant used the MV Sidekick to build a quiz that brought in 9 new subscribers in her first day: Read her story

This is what her quiz looks like:

What you'll need

Step 1: Get the MV Sidekick

Find the MV Sidekick in the Template Library and download the file.

Step 2: Set it up in Claude

Open Claude (or download the desktop app). Create a new Project and add the Sidekick file to it. Every chat you start in that Project now knows MemberVault.
​

Step 3: Create your freebie

Your quiz needs somewhere to send people when they finish. Create a free product in MemberVault for the gift they'll get, like a guide, a roadmap, or a mini-lesson.

  • Choose the email list or tag new sign ups should go to, so every quiz-taker lands on your list.

  • Add a short intake form as your first lesson, called Start Here. A few quick questions tell you where each new subscriber is starting and what they need. How to set up an intake form

  • Copy the product's link. You'll need it in the next step.

Step 4: Tell the Sidekick what you want

Start a new chat in your Project and describe your quiz. Include:

  • Your quiz title and who it's for

  • How many questions (5 to 10 works well)

  • Your result types, like Ready to Launch, Almost There, and Just Getting Started

  • The link to your freebie, for the button at the end of each result

  • Your brand colors (hex codes) and a link to your logo

Ask for one block of code you can paste into a MemberVault page. The Sidekick may ask you a few questions first. Answer them, and it will write your quiz.
​

Step 5: Add the quiz to a MemberVault page

Create a new page in MemberVault, open the code view (it looks like <>), and paste in the code from the Sidekick. Preview it, and take the quiz yourself to check every result. How to use MV's Pages feature

Step 6: Make changes by asking

Want different wording, colors, or another question? Ask the Sidekick for the change, then paste the new code in. If something looks off after you paste, tell the Sidekick what you see and it will fix it.
​

Step 7: Share your quiz

  • Add it to your site menu and announcement bar

  • Send it to your email list

  • Post it on social media

Optional: Add a celebration

Make new subscribers smile with an on-screen confetti celebration when they finish their Start Here lesson. The confetti uses your brand colors automatically. How to show an on-screen confetti celebration
