Quora Useful for Marketing?! What?!

You came alone in this world. The moment you were born, questions were raised: what will be his name, which educational institution will he go to, what will he grow up to be? The moment you started making out what these words and ramblings meant, you found yourself wondering how, what, why, when, where? You just indulge into any book, conversation, movie that can put sense in you.

That is exactly why you use Quora. You know Im right. People dont type in keywords in search engines. They type in question that pops in their head. Im baking a cake and suddenly I realize I dont have sufficient eggs, I will go online and type in What can I substitute for eggs while baking a cake? I need someones, anyones opinion " quick! Well, not anyones, but you get my point. My need to have that question answered is so strong that I dont want to think about a potential keyword to search the answer! Quora is all about such questions, answered by people interested or knowledgeable in that niche.

How can Quora be useful to market my website then, you ask? Wait for it.

While You Were Questioning/answering Questions

i. You gradually built your profile

One that highlighted your interests, questions asked, questions answered, your following, your friend/cyber-friend circle, and most importantly how youve grown from a wonderer to an expert in your interests.

ii. You had a standard Bio for every post

Yes, probably you wrote that down ages ago. Wake up, and change it if its lying there covered in dust. Snap to it!

TIP: Add your website as a help guide besides bragging about your expertise.

iii. Found out you could change the Bio for every post!

Aha..clever one, you are! Changing your Bio (interest based expertise) according to the question topic definitely brings your answer up (other than sharing your answers on social networking sites!!); anyone in need of quick and precise answers would look up to expert advice.
