Answer Quora questions from your own blog posts

1. Open the question page on Quora and click Answer under the question to open the answer editor.
2. Rewrite the relevant part of your article for this exact question, because Quora wants the gist of an answer readable without leaving Quora.
3. Click Edit Credential under your name in the answer editor to choose the credential that fits, and state any affiliation with a product or company you mention.
4. When you republish your own article, cite the original publication at the end of the answer, then publish.
5. Fix mistakes later from the three-dots menu under the answer with Edit Answer. Each new question needs its own version, since pasting one answer under several questions is what Quora counts as spam.

Turn my post "How I track freelance expenses" into an answer for this Quora question, cite the original at the end, show me the draft, then post it.

1. 01

   Read the question before the article

   get_question pulls the question and its leading answers. The agent notes what they already cover, so the draft opens with the part of your article they miss instead of restating them.

2. 02

   Stop if you already answered

   Your earlier answers from list_my_answers are matched against the question URL. A match stops the run and shows you the old answer, because a second answer from you under the same question helps nobody.

3. 03

   Cut the article to fit

   The draft keeps only the section of your post that answers this question and makes it stand alone. The link to your post goes at the end as the original source, never as the answer itself.

4. 04

   Disclose and credit

   When the article mentions your own product, company or client, the draft says so in one plain sentence. Quotes from other people go in blockquotes with their source; your own republished text needs only the citation at the end.

5. 05

   Post after your OK, one body per question

   post_answer runs only after you read the draft. For a batch of similar questions the agent writes a separate answer for each and refuses to post one text twice.

• Quora requires a relevant affiliation to be disclosed in the answer itself or in the credential shown with it, and says to disclose whenever in doubt.
• Quora does not allow affiliate links in answers, nor self-promotion that is not part of a direct, helpful response to the question.
• Quora may collapse or remove an answer that cannot be understood without visiting an external site when the link looks promotional.
• Quora lets writers republish their own content from another site without blockquote formatting, provided the answer cites the original publication at the end.
• Quora counts the same answer posted repeatedly under several questions as spam, especially when it is not customized for each question.

post_answer asks for your OK by default. To run it on a schedule without you, switch confirmation off for that tool in your dashboard.
