What is Quora?

Quora is an online platform that allows users to ask questions. Users then get notifications based on the topics they know so they can provide answers. Quora thrives in collective knowledge.

It is a great platform for marketing, as it allows companies to interact with customers and potential customers more deeply than in other social platforms.

It also provides valuable insights into what people are thinking about certain topics, allowing companies to better target their marketing efforts.

Quora (and other Q&A platforms like it) is an invaluable tool for any company looking to get more exposure, nurture prospects, get more leads, and make more sales.

At Queue, we’ve been using Quora for promoting products and services for over three years and it’s proven to be an amazing marketing channel. We highly recommend it.

Is Quora safe?

Yes, Quora is generally safe to use. Quora takes proactive measures to ensure that the content posted on the site follows its guidelines.

How to use Quora safely

It’s important to be aware of potential issues and take the necessary precautions when using the platform. For example, here are some things you’ll want to do:

  • Avoid sharing personal information you don’t want others to know on comments or Quora answers. Sharing data like this will make it easy for people with bad intentions to target you.
  • Avoid sharing too much information on your profile. Only include what you want people to see.
  • Avoid uploading personal pictures where you can see where you live.
  • Use a strong password when creating your account. I mean, a password that’s about 15-20 characters long, uses capital and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols just like this one: G^$I4eISeb56cqF%zf0t
  • Set up email veryfication. Under settings, there’s an option that makes it so you have to verify it’s you when it detects a login from a new location.
  • Avoid clicking links before you see where they are going to take you. Hover your mouse over the link and at the bottom left side of your screen, you’ll see the link you are about to click. Make sure it’s the site you want to visit.

  • Take everything you read with a grain of salt. Literally anyone with an account can reply to questions on Quora, so even though most people have the best intentions, it doesn’t mean everything you read is true (specially opinions). Always fact check the information you read and ask for sources. There’s a comment section for that on each answer.
