How to Get More Views on Quora: 9 Things That Work
Practical ways to get more views on your Quora answers and questions: target Google-ranking questions, write a strong opening, answer early, use Spaces and build followers.
Short answer: Quora views come from three places: Google search, the question page itself, and your followers' feeds and Digest emails. To get more views, answer questions that rank on Google, write an opening that earns the click, answer early, and grow followers so every new answer starts with an audience.
1. Pick questions that rank on Google
Search site:quora.com plus your keyword. Questions on Google's first page get steady views for years, and a top answer there gets the lion's share.
2. Write a strong first two lines
The preview decides whether anyone expands your answer. State the answer immediately.
3. Answer questions with many followers
Followers of a question get notified about new answers. A question with 2,000 followers is a free distribution list.
4. Answer early
New questions have little competition. Check your topics daily and answer the good new ones quickly.
5. Get upvotes
Upvoted answers move up the thread, and higher answers get more views. See how to get more Quora upvotes.
6. Grow followers
Each follower may see your new answers in their feed. See how to get more Quora followers.
7. Use Spaces
Contribute to and share into relevant Spaces. Spaces have their own followers and can send real traffic.
8. Add images
An image in the answer makes it stand out in the feed.
9. Update old answers
Refreshing a popular old answer with new info can bring it back into feeds.
Do bought views help?
Quora's view counter is social proof only. Bought views don't bring readers, and Quora's terms prohibit artificial engagement, so they may be removed. They can make a new answer look less empty. That's the honest extent of it.
