5. Write Responses like You’re Blogging
Quora’s responses to questions have historically been in a blog format, with a lot of content being open-ended and lengthy discussions. Still, more recent responses seem more designed for the user’s convenience.
Using a relevant and high-quality image is a good start when creating content. Try to create your own or find one of the many available on the internet at no cost.
A software program called Spelling Correction has been developed that can help with the use and development of your business. It will help you identify errors, back up claims, and focus on other essential aspects of your company.
Above all, you should be friendly and approachable. You are here to build friendships with your readers, and you must make them feel comfortable.
6. Include Links
Your blog or website is your most important asset as a business. Your response should include a link back to it, and make sure not to make it look slimy or like a direct sales pitch. Nobody likes that. You must only link to content on your website when it is helpful and related.
Providing links in each answer is essential if you want your answers to be helpful. The questions you are answering (Links) should focus on topics with relevant content. This can also be a time saver.
You can easily tweak and reword your blog post to fit whatever needs you have. Or write a blog post responding to what your audience has said, and point them back to your website.
When posting, you should choose content that is interesting and relevant. Ensure your blog posts and web pages are highly readable for those who come across them. If you’re an interior designer answering a question about how to handle furniture in a living room, the focus should be on different styles of couches etc, remain targeted.
I do want to point out that certain spaces have their own rules, and that any links may be regarded as spam and Quora will delete your comment. I have had that a couple of times, and although I appealed their decision because the comment I left did not fall under their 'Spam' rules, they denied my appeal.
Other than that, setting up your 'Space' is important, just like when creating any profile. You can post your website URL in your profile, yet be careful where and how you direct traffic back to your link and/or website.

If you answered this question in your lesson, please excuse me for missing it. But are affiliate links permissible on Quora?
Also, in lesson 4, you say "You should also consider answering questions where the audience has many followers, but the total number is limited." Can you please clarify what you mean when you say "the total number is limited."?
Thank you for this helpful information!

Each place where you answer questions has its own rules. So links in response to a query are usually ok but are careful, they must be very relevant to the question asked.
Take note of how usual answers are posted.
I've updated that section on lesson 4 to be a better explanation.
Warm regards,
Lily 😁🎶
