Potential Method - Quora With AI Content (at scale)

[Apexworks]

There are several interesting journeys where people are creating autoblogs on a massive scale, using either paraphrasing or AI content, or a mixture of both.

I'm curious if anyone has either tried or considered doing something similar but with Quora?

What I'm imagining is something like this:

1. Choose A Good Niche

A niche that's broad enough that there are plenty of good questions to answer, and also has some good affiliate offers.

2. Create Money Site

Create a high quality money site with unique and valuable content for anyone considering products/services in this particular niche.

3. Create Quora Profile(s)

Create (or buy) one or several Quora profiles and warm them up over time and create detailed profiles outlining them as "experts" in the niche they're targeting.

4. Link From Profile(s)

Create a very strong call to action inside your Quora profile that would interest anyone interested in this niche, and link out to the money site.

5. Get Quora Keywords That Are Ranking

Scrape and find all Quora keywords in your niche that are ranking on the first page of Google.

6. Create Auto Content Generation Bot

There are several journeys where people do this already for their blogs, and I also have my own ideas on how to do it. This part is about creating quality content that answers the user intent at a large scale, (think thousands of answers).

7. Create or Buy A Quora Posting Bot

I'm not sure what bots there are on the market for Quora, but a quick search didn't reveal any. Since you will be posting fairly slowly I think this could be done with Selenium and MLA or something similar.

8. Call To Action In Answers

Instead of posting links in the answers you post, which seems to get a lot heat and potentially causes account losses etc. you instead say something along the lines of:

"I'm an expert with 7 years experience in the xxxxxx niche, if you want to learn more or get advice check out my profile."

Some variations of that to end every answer you write in Quora.

9. Collect Emails & Sell On Money Site

So this is standard Internet marketing once they arrive on your money site, just have to do a good job here to convert the traffic.

10. Deploy At Scale

So here I'm thinking you answer maybe 5-20 questions per day usinb a bot, and slowly ramp that number up to maybe 20, 30 or even 40 questions per day.

Benefits as I see them:

You would get highly relevant and motivated traffic that should convert well.

a) The visitor has seen a question on Quora, read it and liked it enough to visit your profile, and from there decided to click through to your money site.

b) If deployed at scale in good niches there should be huge numbers of questions to answer.

c) Relatively easy to scale over different niches if it works in one niche.

d) Traffic would start "nearly" instantly since you don't have to wait for SEO and link building etc to kick in.

Potential Drawbacks:

a) You have to produce high quality content at scale. This is the same as the other journeys where you post the content to your own site, but since humans (and Quora) are reading your answers rather than Googlebot the quality may need to be higher.

b) It may be hard to bot Quora and maybe there aren't any commercially available bots? Please let me know if you know anything about this.

c) Perhaps not enough people click through to view the Quora profiles, even with a call to action at the bottom of each answer telling them to do so? If you have any experience with this please let me know.

I'm very interested in AI content generation and will likely start some form of journey with that in a few weeks, but I'm still unsure what is the best way to use AI content. I'm torn between creating blogs, YouTube videos or using it somewhere like Quora.

I'm curious what you guys think about this method as an idea, especially if you have some past experience with Quora?

I have the Quora bot but content is a problem

Is it a private bot or a commercial one?

Private

That's very interesting, would you mind sharing a bit more about it?

Does it use MultiLogin and Selenium as I suggested in my post, or how was it built?

What are the capabilities of it? Can it handle multiple accounts, and if it does how does it handle them?

Do you use it with proxies and how many Quora accounts do you have?

If you've been marketing on Quora how many people who read your answers click on your profile, do you know?

Do you think that part of my method/strategy could work, or not enough will click through?

So many questions.

I've tested this on a small scale using Jasper
I used the built-in Ad campaign tool to find trending questions
The bounce was too high (probably because the topic is already answered well in the first 2-3 answers)

You could take it to the next level with drip-fed upvotes

 

[youveggie]

you don't come to forum and showcase your idea just like this..

Yes, I forgot to mention that. Obviously you'd want to upvote your answers and probably drop some "Thank you, amazing advice!" style comments to your answers as well.

Good tip to use the Ad-campaign to find the questions, but to deploy this at scale I think it's probably easier to just answer any question in your niche, that's ranking in Google. You don't need to worry about which questions to answer if you have enough accounts I think.

The main question though is "what is the CTR to your profile" with a simple call to action like the one I suggested?

Do you have any experience in that part, or did you drop the links directly in the answer when you were doing this with Jasper?

 

[Apexworks]

Lol, isn't that the whole idea of this forum, sharing potentially good ideas?

In my experience there's enough money out there for anyone who is willing to put in the effort. It's just about choosing the methods that are most long-lasting and provide the best results for the effort.

For that we need to drill down a bit to find the best way to use all these new amazing AI capabilities we have.

Will quora take some legal action against a person spamming their platform at scale? This is possible.

Everything is possible of course, but you are making a lot of assumptions with that thought, such as:

1. That you don't produce content that is beneficial for Quora and it's visitors.

AI can produce very high quality content already, and GPT-3 !knows much more about the world than any average human being does.

There won't be any humans writing these type of answers in a few short years. We are living in a transitional period just before AI takes over almost every mundane task, and there is no reason why we can't benefit from that.

2. That you either use your real identity or that Quora is somehow able to track you down and prove that this was actually you who ran these accounts.

Again, the "elites" of the world are on the brink of introducing Digital Identities (i.e. "vaccine passports" are just the beginning), and we are living in a transitional period where you can still retain a fairly high degree of privacy online.

3. That Quora would have a bigger benefit in initiating a lawsuit against someone with multiple accounts, rather than just closing down the accounts.

So yes, if this is something that concerns you then I suggest you stick to things that are strictly white hat, but this is after all Blackhatworld.

Personally I consider myself white hat in the sense that I will never scam, cheat or try to mislead others for money, but I certainly don't have any qualms about exploiting the algorithm of companies like Quora, Facebook amd Google.

Well i think its a smart idea as these questions from quora are very good to use them as keywords

Yup, especially if you target the ones that are already ranking in Google.

The main question is if using the method I suggested above, enough people will click through to your "expert profile" to make it worthwhile or not?

Anyone who has experience with Quora, please let us know what you think?

Is it:

0.01% CTR
0.1% CTR
1% CTR
3% CTR

What do you think is a realistic number of people who will read your answers and click through to the profile with the link, assuming you have a call to action telling them to do so to "learn more"?

I did some "back of the envelope calculations" and here were my thoughts (purely based on "conservative speculation"):

1. Each profile should be able to answer 35 questions per day once it's been warmed up. Let's say 750 questions per month conservatively.

2. The number of views per question can vary tremendously, but let's assume we follow the suggestion of @HustleTong above and drip feed upvotes to our answers as well.

Then I think an average of 150 views per month per answer should be realistic, but hopefully much more. So around 100k views per account per month.

3. If we assume a 1% CTR to our profile page (maybe it's too high?) that should give us around 1000 unique targeted visitors per month to each of our profiles for each account.

4. If we are running 20 accounts per niche that would give us around 20k targeted visitors per month to our profile, and perhaps we can get 10% of those to click through to our website.

5. This is very targeted traffic so we should be able to achieve around a 5% conversion rate on those 2000 uniques, so 50 orders per month maybe?

6. If we do this across 5 niches (100 Quora accounts in total) we should be able to get around 250 orders per month.

7. If we sell some decent info product like a video course or something that we charge $97 for we could potentially be making $25k/month in revenue from this sort of setup, plus build solid email lists for future marketing.

I'm not convinced it's worth it yet, because that CTR from the question to the profile page is SOO important in the equation. If it's only around 0.1% let's say, then we are looking at $2.5k per month for an expensive setup with 100 Quora accounts and 100 proxies and expensive VPS and a custom bot and lots of time and problems...not worth it.

But I just think the traffic is really targeted, and I've made a lot of money from targeted Google traffic, so why not Quora?

Well in my opinion with your strategy you will get enough traffic for sure as these questions rank in google and get a lot of traffic .The thing its you need to have patience and work consistently for at least 3 months with your target answers per day .Also i would encourage you to ask at least 1 question per day as this will give you more traffic .Also i would give you a gold tip : Use a sexy woman on your picture profile with some mini skirt ,crossed legs etc ,in this way you will get more views to your profile and more clicks on your bio link

There is no such thing as "enough traffic".

Also i would encourage you to ask at least 1 question per day as this will give you more traffic

That's probably a good idea, to mix the answers with asking the odd question too.

Also i would give you a gold tip : Use a sexy woman on your picture profile with some mini skirt ,crossed legs etc ,in this way you will get more views to your profile and more clicks on your bio link

That old trick!

I think it depends on the niche though, cause you don't just want clicks, you want sales, whether they're affiliate sales or your own product.

In most niches Men are more trusted as real experts, but in some niches I'm sure it can work well.

Nice one, following. Cheers

 

[blogmen]

I saw a quora answer that looked a lot like a GPT-3 reply. I wonder if there's a bot army answering questions already.

Yup, especially if you target the ones that are already ranking in Google.

Just wondering about step 6. Can we go across one niche with 100 accounts? instead of 5niches. Or i misunderstood something

 

[TooCorny]

Nicee!
How about buying some upvotes to rank first with your answers?

 

[mulcahy43]

I think this has a lot of potential!
