Answering Questions for High Retention Views with Quora

Once you get to create your answer, first things first, you lead with an image. Most people who answer questions don’t do this. However, this is what makes your answer stand out amongst the competition.

Therefore, the first step is including an image right underneath. This will help you compliment your attention-grabbing and curiosity-based headline. Ensure that about one or two sentences are bolded. This is what makes your answer stands out when people are scrolling through your answers. Majority of the magic happens right here, especially with the mage and headline.

This should just be like any other typical YouTube video. Only that this just turned into a quick little snippet of content in here. Besides, questions need to be good quality. Internet thing nowadays is all a give and take relationship.

Don’t just take, take, take. You need to make sure you provide good information. Because the more info, the better you do here, the more you are going to be able to keep people’s attention to the point where you can then get your payoff.

After you have gained some authority, you can start working in some links higher up. You can do more than one link if you want to. If you don’t have a video directly related to the topic or question, just link it to your YouTube channel. This is going to send traffic to your channel, which will in turn get you views, get you subscribers and boost your channel more authority in the eyes of Google .

There are some different ways to find good posts. One is through the search. If you have a new core account, it is best you alternate between dropping links for at least your first 10 videos and spreading it out. You obviously don’t want to just jump in there and start dropping links like crazy. Therefore, give a few free answers without any kind of payoff.

It is also wise to post your answer to your blog. You can do this directly from Quora. To do this, after you post your answer, just go down the little box with an Arrow in it, at the bottom of your post. Hit that where it says more posts to blog posts to your blog.

Obviously the more unique content that you have the better. But with this method, since you’re trying to go relatively hands-off with this, you can just post your answers in there and leave it at that so you’ll get some traffic from there that will pass link juice to these pages, your answers and vice v66ersa.
