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.

OneUp Today: Using AI to Make Reddit Outreach More Targeted, Personal, and Measurable

   For indie hackers and solopreneurs, finding early customers is often harder than building the product itself. Reddit can be a strong channel because it is full of niche communities where people openly discuss problems and ask for recommendations. The catch is scale. Manually scanning threads, writing thoughtful replies, following up in DMs, and tracking outcomes quickly turns into hours of daily work, and it is difficult to measure what is actually working. OneUp Today is a marketing automation platform built to reduce that manual workload while keeping the outreach human. It helps founders discover relevant conversations on Reddit, draft personalized responses and DMs in the founder’s own voice, and track what happens after someone clicks a link or replies. Why Reddit Works, and Why It’s Hard Unlike many ad platforms, Reddit is conversation-first. People show intent by describing their pain points in detail. That makes it valuable for early-stage products, es...
