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.

However, if you are a professional, business person, company or someone looking to make a change then a Copywriter is worth hiring. Why? If you are a beginner and truly stuck between thoughts of hiring a writer or going with AI, my suggestion is Go with both. Chose a human to use tools, chose a Copywriter to write and encourage him to use AI in creating copy. AI connects you with libraries worldwide and presents data in certain formats. It cannot add human touch. AI can not differentiate between good and bad, AI does not know who is your audience. A Copywriter can seek help from AI to fetc...

Valentine's day: An opportunity to thrive in career

 The month of February, precisely 14th February, gives us a chance to live in the present, accept change and embrace new opportunities. Generally, supposed as a festival of young adults, beyond common beliefs, the festival is for everyone who can spread a message of love and peace, who can share a smile. Life is all about partnership, without partnership it should be boring, then there shall happen no competition, you will do everything alone and you will always stand a winner. Imagine going out with your best friend, shake hands with small children, sharing your portion of meal with someone sitting on a street corner, asking change, hiding best handwritten card in your best friend notebook reading something truly lovely, gifting a rose to your parents, playing an indoor game with your siblings, or taking an initiative to clean the seas, would not these acts be ultra satisfying? To join a celebration is a personal choice, to celebrate any day or not is fundamental human rights, cre...
