“A place to share knowledge and better understand the world”, this is what Quora’s tagline reads and nothing could justify it better. 
With its distinct concept, Quora is a place for those who are curious to find out and those who are eager to tell.
With involvement of giants like Barack Obama, Wikipedia Co-founder Jimmy Wales and many more eminent personalities, Quora has been able to interest millions of people since its inception in 2009.
But the way in which this question-answer site can benefit you is not limited to gaining knowledge; rather it is a platform that can get a lot of traffic to your site.
Interesting, isn’t it?
With thousands of people finding answers to hundreds of questions every day, you have immense opportunities to provide them with what they are looking for.
Here are five tips that you can use to get more traffic from Quora:
- Be a storyteller
Stories are something that has fascinated us since ancient times.
From Romeo-Juliet to the modern day novels, stories have the power to touch our hearts.
Whether it is your company’s story or the story of a product launch, find questions which can be answered in the form of a story.
A well written story is sure to get more views and upvotes than an ordinary answer.
2. Make it visual
Statistics say that the articles with an image after every 80-100 words are more likely to be shared than those with lesser or no images.

With a combination of text and relevant images, your Quora answers will not only be more engaging but also be better remembered by readers.
3. The choice of questions matters
When you are using Quora strategically for your business, you need to take care about the questions that you choose to answer.
This decision is the reason why some answers reach a million views and some don’t even cross 50.
Every question has its followers and you should always look for the number of followers before answering any particular question.
The more followers a question has, the more views your answer will get resulting in increased traffic to your website.
4. Use links
Getting huge answer reach and thousands of upvotes is of no use unless your readers notice the links to your website.

Along with adding links to your work on your profile, you can add links in your answers too. With efficient use of links, your Quora answers can attract a lot of traffic to your website.
5. Be regular
Quora is an unpredictable platform.
Although these tips can help you increase the quality of your content, making it reach a large number of people is a challenging task.
Some things can work for you; some others may work for someone else.
The only way to know more about what works, you need to practice writing regularly on Quora.
With increased exposure to the answers already written by famous Quora writers, your strategy for getting more traffic from Quora will automatically get better.
All the best for increasing your website traffic 🙂
