    I have spent an inordinate amount of time on Quora. Mostly because I love learning and sharing what I know. I've also seen people go from hundreds of followers to thousands. I've also posted great answers (IMO) that didn't receive any upvotes.

    There are essentially two ways to succeed: 1) Posting several times per day โ€“ output, 2) Be a great storyteller - write engaging content.

    If you love writing, you're good at it and able to find a human spin on things, then Quora could be for you. People everywhere love stories that are exciting and emotional. Quora is no exception.

      well, I tried to work with Quora for a week ๐Ÿ˜…

    I had so-so results. Best ones come from featured answers. I have got days when I would get 150-200 visitors, but they are poorly converting. I believe, that spending 2-3 months on Quora and adding 3-5 quality answers a day can turn profitable though.

      thanks for answering! have you took the approach of 3-5 answers per day?

      1. 2

        For two weeks I think. I tinkered a lot with Quora, but I find other methods more effective short term. Quora is rather a long term solution.

    How long have you guys been using this marketing channel?

    Donโ€™t have much experience with a marketing angle on quora myself.

    1. 1

      we used it several months before: it didnโ€™t work out. Now decided to try one more time.

        Any reason to circle back with it not working before?

          hey @rastrent! you can see my week results with Quora here: https://www.indiehackers.com/post/f69317fcb8

        2. 2

          I keep hearing that Quora is working. So probably, I thought, I was doing something wrong ๐Ÿค”

  4. 2

    I would suggest continuing to answer a few questions a day for a week or two.

    Then take time to analyze the results and see if Quora is a viable acquisition channel for you.

      thanks for the advice! I saw you have a lot of answers here. How were the results for you, in terms of traffic & conversations?

  5. 1

    I replied many questions on Quora relevant to my products. Some answers gave my a nice amount of views, but with very poor conversion rates. At the end, it wasn't worth the time for me.

    1. 1

      true about poor conversation.
      With 4.6K views, we got 18 clicks! Can you image ๐Ÿ˜‚ (I posted all our numbers in this post on IndieHackers)

    For Ministry of Testing we've posted stuff there, not consistently, over the past 3 years we check in every month or two, answers questions then forget about it in frustration of all the horrible responses. I just had a look at our analytics, we had 2k referrals from them in the past year.

    1. 1

      that's not a bad result, I think.

    Do your answers get removed most of the time like mine?๐Ÿค”

    1. 1

      from 45 answers 38 are alive. You can see it here https://www.quora.com/profile/Lisa-Dziuba But when we added answers into wiki - all of them were removed :(

      1. 1

        Ah, okay, thanks for the feedback! :)

        1. 1

          well, I still not sure how Quora will work for us :(

          1. 1

            Hopefully it works out great for you :)

            1. 1

              well....
              feel free to check our numbers here + I attached screenshots
