When answering questions, think of how your readers are going to feel when they read your content. Will they find it easy to read, boring, fun, exciting?
I suppose that will ultimately depend on the subject you’re writing on. But the point is that you must always put yourself in your audience’s shoes.
Would you want to read a single 1,000-word paragraph? I bet not. So, it’s important to format your answer to make it as easy to read as possible.
Break up your response into bullet points. Use images, infographics, statistics, etc. to lend credibility to your answers.
If you’re quoting someone else, link to that person’s website or article. Give credit where it’s due. Then you can contact that person on social media or send them a good old-fashioned email letting them know you’ve linked to their article on Quora. Don’t ask for anything in return.
If they want to, they can share your Quora post to their followers which in turn may lead to new people following you not just on Quora, but on other social media channels as well.
