Writing on Quora non-stop for 3 months and stopped for 6 months since Jan 2020, this is what I learned from the dashboard
Why did I start? I'm super weak in copywriting! But last year I started a #sidehustle and decided to contribute to Quora
- Challenge my domain knowledge
- Practice my writing and learn how people write
- Drive traffic and get feedback for my side project
😯 A few days back I saw
- 10.6 k views in the last 3 months from all the answers combined
- Converted 5.27% of the total downloads of my side project
✍️ So I backward-analyzed my habit and achievements
- Spend 15 minutes on each topic
- Answer 3-5 questions every day
- Only answer why X, how Y and what is Z
- Select questions related to presentation designs
- Connect people who are also interested in the same subject
- It took me 2 months to appear on the most popular writers under 2 themes: Pitch Decks & Venture and Investor Pitches (I'm still on the leaderboard :p)
👨💻 What next?
- Reactivate my Quora routine (Maybe weekly)
- Spend more time on each question
- Pursue quality instead of quantity
Shameless plug

Nice one, Felix. I also reactivated my quora account. Tried to write 2 answers a day about crypto currency, blockchain or fintech topics. Competition is insane on the major questions. It´s not so easy to find some that trigger interest and gain more popularity. Got 18.6K views in the last 30 days, 4.6K on the last 7 days. The leader of crypto answers has 54M views, long way to go haha
Anyway, whoever reads this. I really recommend quora to spread your name and services
Woah congrats @JohnDE - that's awesome! Although I'm not in your industry I keen to read your answers. Can you share your Quora profile, please?
Thanks. I failed to mention that I did some other related topics too, but just few. Here is my profile: https://www.quora.com/profile/Werner-Hochleitner
So you got 500 downloads from Quora? How do you track traffic from there and know that for sure?
@iamarsenibragimov I use Gumroad for my downloadable content. There’s an event tag “purchased” where you can track on Google Analytics, I also double confirmed in the payment record on Gumroad
Very nice work actually, Felix. No share to share!
@parrylee Thanks for reading :) Excited to do more!
