This is so simple. 

It was in front of my eyes the whole time, but I refused to see it for so long…

It’s a little trick that’s made me some extra cash on Quora already.

And guess what? It only takes five minutes a day. No, seriously. Five minutes or maybe less 🤔

That’s less time than it takes to scroll through your Medium feed and try to find a decent story to read among all the bots. 

So what is it?

1st: Continue writing every day

I write every day. Rain or shine, holiday or workday, just make sure you make the time. 

That’s key by the way: you don’t wait to have the time, you make the time. 

2nd: Repurpose your article to a Quora post

Yeah, I know, I know….

You’ll now say it’s not just 5 minutes. It takes time…but it doesn’t have to. 

I cloned myself. I trained a custom GPT that writes like me. 

Now, I know for many of you this is too techy, so I also created a custom GPT while writing how to do it. Find it here. It’s available also to free subscribers of ChatGPT. 

Now all you have to do is give your article to it and ask it to convert it to a short Quora post in less than 300 words. Here’s my prompt:

Please convert this article to a short 300 words Quora post and add some hashtags: “[article text]”

Then watch the magic happen. 

Don’t worry, it will use your original content, not some AI hallucination. That’s why you start with your human-written article. 

3rd: Make sure the title is a question! 

We’re talking about Quora, so people search for answers. If it’s not, write a question your article answers. 

Few tips here if you’re stuck: 

  • think of a problem people have related to your article 

  • think of questions they would ask if they search for a solution

  • paste some keywords in Google Trends and search for related questions 

  • ask my custom GPT or Gemini what questions people would ask about this problem 

Select the question that resonates most with your article and make it your title.

How to NOT get stuck: write problem-solution oriented content. 

4th: Post on your Quora space

Create a Quora space if you haven’t already. Here is the official guide. Make sure you enable monetization (available in some countries). 

Then the following:

  • Create a post 

  • Add a link to your newsletter (to also gain subscribers) 

  • Make it behind the paywall or post it for free

  • Publish 

There are 3 ways to monetize:

I post my article summaries behind the paywall, which is enabled for Quora+ subscribers. Similar to Medium, you earn from their membership fee. Here you need to add value to the reader. 

I also post links or short posts for free. Here I can earn from ad revenue share like any other social media. Remember: no affiliate links, or you risk your account being banned. 

I have set subscriptions, but I don’t put any effort there so I have zero subscribers. 

That’s it! 

The great thing about Quora is that you don’t need followers or millions of views (like on X) to enable monetization. You can start right away!

What revenues can you expect?

Now with Quora, your posts build over time. They don’t have a short lifetime like on Medium or like posts on Social Media. That’s why it’s best to do that daily. 

It will accumulate over time and will grow as you grow. 

Since I’m just starting, mine are small. But I find them promising compared to the amount of effort I put in. (Imagine if I went all in like on Medium OMG!)

Last month I got $0.52 for almost nothing! That’s when I decided to become more active. So this month I did what I described above. Occasionally! And I tripled that earnings:

It’s not much, but compared to Medium when I tested the waters, it’s more. 

That’s why I now plan to do that every day. 

So this is my simple strategy to earn money on Quora in only 5 minutes a day with the help of my custom GPT. 

Thanks for reading!
