How do I get people to follow my blog?

How can I get people to follow my new Quora blog?

  • I recently started a blog here on Quora called https://mixingitup.quora.com. What are some of the most effective ways to get people to see it? Are there any tips to get people to follow my writing? Obviously, interesting content is a must. As a relative new comer to blogging, the idea of being able to access Quora's built-in and targeted audience is very attractive.

  • Answer:

    I started my Quora blog (https://startuplife.quora.com) after having used http://blogger.com prior. My first post, https://startuplife.quora.com/25-Things-Ive-Learned-About-Life, gained instant notoriety after I gave it a boost by promoting it with about 500 credits. As I write this, it has about 450+ upvotes. I think a few simple strategies: Write great content. People love practical articles and short and simple lists. Find influencers to share it via twitter and social channels Make it relatable to the every day person Promote the blog post every now and then to keep the momentum going Use photos to make the post more engaging

On Quora, you can make your followers to follow your blog. But many people consider it to be spammy and a faux pas. Apart  from that, applying appropriate topics to the blog and individual posts  is of paramount importance. Don't overdo it. Also, having a quality Quora presence outside of your blog, with questions, answers and  comments helps. Focus your Q&A activity on your topics of expertise  and intense interest and the people who like your stuff, will follow you  to your blog. Crosslinking  Q&A with your blog posts (like you did in this question, f.e.) also  helps. But don't give the impression you are just participating in order  to promote your blog! By the way, one of the worst ways to promote your blog, is to use the ...

First, do you have a unique voice? That's the secret to getting any kind of readers on any medium. on Quora specifically, use topics wisely when you tag your posts. Use credits to promote the posts. All the best!

Hi Aditya, I have read the latest post on your blog and i find it very informative. About getting more followers, Try answering more questions in the best possible way, get up-votes, get recognized and eventually this activity, if carried for few months will lead to more followers on your Quora profile and your Quora blog as well. Promote more using credits, which is again a great option given by Quora to make your content accessible to the people who are not even following you. But, I am not a great fan of Quora blogs, the reason behind this is Quora's poor Search engine optimization. Even if you are writing great content, it will be available to Quora users only and if people from outside Quora are searching for information on the same topic, they won't be able to reach your post because of Quora's poor seo. So, I personally believe that, if you are writing more on tech related topics, get a blog outside Quora, work a bit on SEO and start blogging. If the content is of good quality, you will get a lot of followers. I hope my answer helps.

At the end of the day, it boils down to having original, amazing, useful and usable posts on your Quora blog. Quora automatically distributes your posts to a large number of Quorans via their feeds anyway. Now that the "promote post" function is no more, having good, solid content is now de rigeur to increase views for a Quora blog. We're all in the same boat here. We can't use techiques like SEO, monetisation, etc, because they're not allowed or not supported on Quora. We can't promote posts anymore. All in all then, we're back to square one -- good content, automatically relayed to Quorans by the system. Thanks for the A2A.

Apart from inviting individuals? Write good content that people will (hopefully) vote & promote. See my blog https://newsfromperth.quora.com

1) Invite random people (very important) don't wait idly for people to notice your blog 2) put funny or cool pictures with every post 3)Throw in a couple of jokes 4)Invite people you actually know 5)When you answer questions throw in a link to said blog eg https://individualsideas.quora.com
