Answer Requests from Quora or Quora Users

Once you started answering questions on Quora on a specific topic like Blogging then Quora will suggest users request answers from you. I get a lot of requests to answer questions related to Blogging. I try my best to answer the related questions.

Pass the Request ( Let Quora know you don’t know the answer )

There is an option to pass the question, when you don’t know the answer or don’t know the detailed answer then you can pass the question instead of writing an answer that question. When you pass the answer Quora takes a note of it internally/technically and you will get less/no requests of such questions. When you pass the question you are giving a signal to Quora that you don’t have knowledge about this topic. So you can say there is one benefit of passing the question is You will not get irrelevant answer requests. And the disadvantage is you will not get such type of requests again if you know the answer still you pass the request. So be careful while passing the request. You still have the option to answer any question on Quora by searching relevant questions.

I would suggest you try each and every feature available on Quora.

• Ask Questions.
• Answer the Questions.
• Share the Links to Quora. It is another feature, you can ask a question or just share a link.
• Follow the questions. You will get notifications of each and every activity about the question you followed.
• Request answers to other Quora users. You can request answers from other Quora Users for any question, even if it is not asked by you.
• Promote your answer on Quora. It is a paid feature, something like an ad on Quora. Once you promote the answer, Quora will add a tag for it as a Promoted Answer.
• Check notifications on Quora, you get an email when someone requests an answer from you or someone answers your question.

Important tips using Quora to drive traffic to your blog:

• Don’t give a link in every answer.
• Don’t give a one-line answer.
• Don’t just give the link in the answer without writing anything as a text. Quora will delete that answer.
• Use Images in answer.
