One challenge with Quora is choosing questions that actually have traffic and engagement potential.

What is your process for finding high value questions in Quora?

Do you focus more on follower count ,search intent, competition, or trending topics?

Focus more on search intent and topic relevance than just follower count . Some questions with fewer followers can still bring steady traffic if they rank well on google or target a strong niche keyword. Check how competitive the answer are and whether I can add something genuinely useful. Trending topics help for short term visibility,but evergreen questions usually perform better long term.
 
For Quora, I pay more attention whether the question can bring consistent traffic over time instead of only checking follower count. Questions that solve real problems and continue getting searched over time tend to perform much better.
I also look at answer quality and competition. If a question has weak or outdated answers but still shows engagement, that's often a good opportunity to create a detailed answer and gain visibility.
 
Brainstorm some search terms closely related to your niche or product, around 10 to 15 search terms. next, you need to enter those keywords (one-by-one) into Quora's search bar and change the filter from "All Types" to "Questions." Click the three dots next to a question, select "View Log," and check the creation date. Then, look for questions with high follower counts. Paste the question URL into a free SEO tool like Ahrefs or SEMrush to see if it ranks on Google. Those that rank well, are what you need or are where you need to be.
 
I always focus on questions that match my content or website niche. targeted questions usually bring better traffic than random popular ones.

In my opinion finding outdated threads is the best, because you can always post and your answer stands out immediately. I usually go for search intent and try to genuinely help people on Quora.
 
I’d also check whether I can give a genuinely useful answer to the question before spending time on it. If I have to stretch my knowledge just to write something, I’d rather skip it and find a question I can explain properly.
 
Sometimes I check how I’d explain the answer to a friend who knows nothing about the topic If I can break it down without making it complicated, that question is worth considering. Quora doesn’t need another answer that sounds like a textbook, lol.
 
I usually notice questions that make me curious enough to click on them If a question catches my attention, there’s a chance other people might find it interesting too.
 
I’d prioritize questions with clear search intent and recent activity, then check whether the existing answers are outdated or incomplete. Searching the question topic on Google also helps spot Quora threads that may attract traffic from outside the platform.
 
I’d probably save a few interesting questions and come back to them later. Sometimes I get a better answer after thinking about it for a while instead of rushing to reply just because
I found a good question.
 
I’ve noticed I’m much more likely to answer a question when it reminds me of something I’ve actually experienced. It’s easier to write when you’re not sitting there trying to
invent an example out of thin air .
 
I usually look at search intent first, then check whether the question is still getting views and answers. Follower count can help, but I don't think it's the most important factor. A question with fewer followers can still bring good traffic if people are actively searching for it.
 
I sometimes think the comments can tell you more than the question itself. If people are still asking follow-up questions under existing answers, it probably means something is missing from the discussion. Those are the questions I'd be interested in answering.
 
I sometimes open a question and check the answers first. If everyone seems to be saying the same thing, I usually move on. I'd rather find a question where I can add my own little twist
than repeat the same advice for the tenth time.
 
I find good Quora questions by searching my niche keywords and checking trending topics with high engagement.
