6 Steps to Becoming an Expert on Quora


Quora is considered world’s No 1 question answer website and membership is limited to invitees only. It has many CEOs and top management staff as members.
(As defined on the home page of Quora, Quora is a continually improving collection of questions and answers created, edited and organized by everyone who uses it.) A person known to you has to send you an invite to join Quora. Once you have registered, you have to follow just six simple steps to become an expert in your field.

Step 1 Find People You Know
Once you have found the people you know, you can click the Follow button and check the topics they are following.

Step 2 Choose the topics to follow
Choose the topics/areas of interest to follow. You can read the questions and answers on these topics

Step 3 Start answering questions
Start answering the questions in the area in which you want to demonstrate your expertise. You can raise questions also, but answering is a better way of demonstrating knowledge.

Step 4 Voting up the answers
Voting up the answers you like, is a way of approving or appreciating answers you like. The more an answer is appreciated, the more it will be voted up. (There is an option of voting down also)

Step 5 Always comment on the answers given to your questions.
Unlike Linkedin, you can answer your own questions on Quora. Always give feedback to the people who have answered your questions.

Step 6 Get ready to be declared as an international expert
The more high quality (and quantity) answers you give, the more followers you will get and you will start becoming an expert in your field. Choose niche topics and emerging areas to begin with, as it would be easier to demonstrate your expertise there.

All the Best. Happy Quora-ing

An Uncomfortable Soul- A Short Story

Once again she has started talking to herself. It’s her‘alone-time’ when thousands of thoughts are crossing her mind. All those questions that include ‘Why me?’and every situation that made her feel bad is flashing from the past.She has a bunch of people around her. Those people who have different mindsets, different goals, and different approach towards life.  May be she builds stronger bonds with lesser people. She is questioning herself, “Is it worth being here?”May be she doubts because,in this temporary world, she still believes in profound talks and eternal relationships. Not just her life revolves around building connections rather she believes in living them. People often perceive her as one with detached persona.But she is a human with reserved emotions who takes a while to truly open up.She hardly discusses her emotions except when she feels she has built a strong enough connection with a person. No doubt, socializing is a difficult task for her. An

18th January, 2013 And how a book changed my life forever? Caution-Nobody is a complete extrovert or introvert. These are tendencies and we all are on different points of the scale. We have lived in a world which worships the ‘Extrovert’ and pushes the ‘Introvert’ to become an extrovert, to get success. As 'The New York Times' bestselling author Susan Cain says, “Introversion along with its cousins sensitivity, seriousness and shyness is now a second class personality trait.” But many of us have not even realised the world has changed. The credit for this goes to Social Media (aka Facebook, Linkedin Twitter and others), which arrived around 2006. Social Media gives an opportunity to introverts to express themselves from the computer (later they can come out in the open to express their passions.) Sometime back, Raja Choudhury, well known Digital Filmmaker-Director & Founder, Universal Quest & C3CUBE Multimedia, recommended me to read The New York Time
