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.

Next you visited the same tea shop again hoping to buy some feel good factor over a cup of tea. Sadly this time tea was cold,  no aroma and only added sugar. How you felt? Didn't you asked the tea vendor to change your cup? Didn't you complained? Of course you did. Tea vendor changed your beverage too. But are you likely to revisit the shop again? Perhaps you are least likely to visit. Same thing is true with you business emails and any any email. A perfectly written email tells the reader about a perfect you. An email with errors clearly shows either you do not know how to do things or bother least about others. Why soomeone sha
