Users can upvote the answers to thank the author or to make it clear for others which answer brings more value.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3>\n            Who owns Quora?    <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Quora was written in Python and founded by two former Facebook employees, Adam D&#8217;Angelo, and Charlie Cheever back in June 2009. They are the key people on Quora. The Quora&#8217;s headquarters address is Mountain View, California, US.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3>\n            What does \u201cQuora\u201d mean?    <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The word \u201cQuora\u201d means nothing specific, really: question (<strong>qu<\/strong>.) or (<strong>or<\/strong>.) answer (<strong>a<\/strong>.). Yep, that simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also a number of Latin meanings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"checklist darkblue wp-block-list\"><li>the faux plural of <em>quorum<\/em> (even though <em>quorum<\/em> is already the genitive plural ofqui\/quod)<\/li><li>quod + forum &#8211;&gt; a medium to ask multiple questions<\/li><li>question + forum -&gt; a forum for questions<\/li><li>question + agora -&gt; an open space where questions are asked<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Guess where I found those answers.

Or to share their expertise on this or that topic and building credibility as thought leaders. There\u2019s plenty of Quora topics so every person can find some questions to answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a search bar where you can find questions related to the topics you are interested in. You can subscribe to topics, too. This way you\u2019ll see new questions and you\u2019ll be the first to answer (this is one of the Quora <a href=\"https:\/\/www.x-cart.com\/blog\/10-ecommerce-product-marketing-tactics.html\">marketing tactics<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how your Quora feed is generated:<\/p>\n\n\n    <div class=\"gb-img__figure-container\">\n        <figure class=\"gb-img__figure\">\n                            <picture><source  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.x-cart.com\/img\/20028\/image13-2.webp 1x\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(max-width: 420px)\" \/><source  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.x-cart.com\/img\/20028\/image13-2.png 1x\" type=\"image\/png\" media=\"(max-width: 420px)\" \/><source  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.x-cart.com\/img\/20028\/image13-2.webp 1x\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 421px)\" \/><source  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.x-cart.com\/img\/20028\/image13-2.jpg 1x\" type=\"image\/jpg\" media=\"(min-width: 421px)\" \/><img decoding=\"async\"  width=\"506\" height=\"404\" src=\"https:\/\/www.x-cart.com\/img\/20028\/image13-2.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.x-cart.com\/img\/20028\/image13-2.jpg 1x\" alt=\"quora ecommerce\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/picture>                                <\/figure>\n    <\/div>\n    \n\n\n<p>The more people upvote your answer the more often other people see it. But sometimes it doesn\u2019t work this way.

How? As you\u2019ve already filled in your personal information, I bet you\u2019ve mentioned your company name there as well.&nbsp;&nbsp;So every time you answer a question related to your zone of expertize, people see your brand\u2019s name. This is how you can build your authority. It\u2019s also a good thing to get the \u201ctop writer\u201d status. I could only achieve&nbsp; \u201cThe most viewed writer\u201d several times.&nbsp;&nbsp;And of course, your answers should bring value \u2014 this is the best way to show that people in your company know what they are talking about.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3>\n            What is Quora Digest?    <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Quora Digest is a daily email containing a set of questions asked by Quora users with one answer that is deemed the best answer given a certain ranking requirements.In fact, \u201cgetting to Quora Digest\u201d is the answer to many questions related to getting views and upvotes.

We never bought any advertisements. We were&nbsp;<em>just writing answers<\/em>.

Create your first Quora profile<\/strong>. Fill in your personal information, mention your experience, position, don\u2019t forget to add your company name and the link to the website you\u2019re looking to promote. Upload a nice photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Subscribe to the topics<\/strong> you think are interesting for your audience. See what people ask and how they answer. Notice the most successful answers. Try to understand why they are upvoted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Look for the<em> proper <\/em>answers<\/strong>, don\u2019t reply to each one you see. Try to answer the ones that have a high number of subscribers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Answer the questions adding valuable links<\/strong>. Be helpful. And of course, follow the tips from the part below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Answer the questions adding promotional links<\/strong>. Of course, it\u2019s cool if your links are both helpful and promotional. If you have a blog \u2014 perfect, use your blog posts. If you don\u2019t \u2014 it\u2019s alright, too. Just make sure you don\u2019t violate Quora&#8217;s policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6. Use Quora to help your users<\/strong>. If you see a question about your product, be the first one to answer. Probably, you\u2019ll have to ask your support or sales team to do it. Reach your clients everywhere they go. That\u2019s the point of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.x-cart.com\/sell-online\/omni-channel.html\">omni-channel approach<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7. Repeat steps 3-6 until you reach your goals<\/strong>. Promoting your brand on Quora is not a one-day thing. You should do it constantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think the system is pretty easy. The hardest part is to stick to the plan.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>\n            To Sum Up    <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I feel like I\u2019ve shared the most important tips on how to promote your online business on Quora for free.
