Did you use Quora as a marketing channel?

I didn't plan on it, but after answering 5,000+ answers on it, and being a Quora Top Writer for 6 consecutive years, it became a main channel for lead generation for me. Would love to say, it was all part of the plan, but it wasn't. Merely sharing information and answering questions, provided people with a comfortable feeling of trust and that trust resulted in sales from the Quora channel.

I have used Quora to promote my services, answering to questions. It was very good few years ago.

However, you should not spam. I only posted a link to my website in max 1/10 of the answers I given. Sometimes, the fact that Quora displays the line: -Founder of X- is enough for promotion if the answer is good. I only posted a link when the answer was found on the target article. -You can read more about X here.-

About 20 years ago, when I started getting into Internet Marketing, I had good results with Yahoo Answers. They were the best, got hundreds or thousand of sales from them. Maybe at that time there were much less competition, but anyway, it worked well and they allowed posting of links if the resource was related.

We used it before it became too commercial. Between 2015-2018. A lot of organic traction and high conversion rates. Everybody was super pumped to be there and the community was much closer. Complete strangers from across the world became good friends.

Sadly, things have changed now.

You know, I always forget that Quora is a thing.

I haven't used it recently—it was never super effective for me, so I ditched it as a growth channel. But I think it's because I just used it wrong.

When I started out on Quora, I would basically post content from my site on the platform and then include links to my site. That's not really what Quora is for though—it's more of an information exchange where you answer questions and people read your answers. They don't want you to just be promoting your stuff all the time without providing value.

Now, if you use it correctly, it is a great way to get attention from people who might not have heard of your brand before but may be interested in some of the topics you cover on your site. And if you provide enough value to other people on Quora by answering questions, then they might be more likely to look for you outside of that platform when they need something—that's when they'll end up on your site or checking out your product or service.

If you're looking for a way to interact with potential customers and get them excited about what you do, Quora seems like a great option!

Yes, I've done that @sweatC! I used Ahref's 7 day trial to find good, potentially high traffic questions to answer for ruttl and wrote answers for them.

I'd say that 50% of the results depend on which questions you are answering. Because if that goes wrong, you might not find it useful.

• it's harder to rank on google with SEO. Quora has amazing SEO score. So, if your answer is useful and upvoted by others in the community, you can grab that organic traffic easily!

i will plan this method for my business project is a good funnel of marketing tools

Yes, it's a great source for marketing your product or service. I have used it several times for my affiliate marketing campaign & product marketing. It gives very targeted traffic and real customers to your business.

I have answered some questions that were directly asking about a solution that my service offers. I did not yield any noticeable results yet (some of these questions were 7 years old). But I guess it is a not to time consuming way to build some links to your solution.

I've yet to use it but I constantly hear that it is a great way to gain traction in your niche. If you can do it in a value-add way then I think it's a great distribution channel for new eyes to your project.

Relying too much on familiar acquisition channels can actually be a major disadvantage for startups. They may be missing out on opportunities to reach new customers through different channels. Additionally, they may not be able to keep up with the latest changes in technology and marketing that could help them grow their business.

There's no doubt that you have a great idea - but it just doesn't seem to be catching on. try the 100kmrrplan.

Sure why not. When on of my posts on Reddit goes viral, I usually re-post it in on Quora as well. Doesn't hurt to have extra impressions.
