How I earned money from Quora

I sold my time answering questions at Quora. If I can so you can. Way back in August 2016 I was urgently looking for a client to make some money and pay my bills. I often use email marketing to reach to potential customers.
I filtered my email and found an email where client said to get back to me later. I followed up the communication and emailed again asking if there is any work. This time reply came like, yes, can you answer questions over Quora.
Next phone conversation happened. Requirement was to answer questions around copy writing, seo and social media marketing. Next come budget in question. Since this was some consultant who was outsourcing work to me, price was obviously low, but not bad. I got set for Rs. 2500 per month other than weekends. I received 50% upfront.
In freelancing we need to over deliver not only one, two or three times but 10 times more.
I answered 3 to 5 questions daily. And at the end of the month I got a repeat customer to work on other projects. If I can so you can.

For example an student may get 100 out of 100 marks in a given examination does that mean he / she 100 perfect in all those topics around what questions were asked or as that employ that there is no one out there in the world who knows better than the student who have faced an examination. This is why governments take Essay test before selecting you for a given post. In companies awards are given to best employees do you know why? So other employees try ...

Hack Gaps

Just I was writing an email to my collogue and the term Hack Gaps suddenly I keyed. So let's Hack Gaps to build that unique brand. My terms are stolen more often so I thought to key down it here to flaunt and say see I am the creator of Hack Gaps.

But my business is to make optimal use of the term I said, and thought it's nascent for me.
