Good question pages are fundamental to making Quora a great place for writers and for anyone who wants to better understand the world. The Quora Partner Program helps ensure that the most interesting and useful questions will always exist on Quora.

The program compensates participants for adding questions many people in the world may have. First, a participant will add new questions to Quora. Then, they'll help ensure that their questions generate good answers for the benefit of future visitors to Quora who come seeking answers to those same questions. The most successful participants will add questions that become popular because many people are also seeking answers to them, or because the answers they generate are especially helpful or interesting.
 
Here are some tips to have the most success:

  • When adding a question, make sure it has no grammatical errors and has the most accurate topics tagged
  • Request answers from the most qualified writers directly
  • Add questions that don't already exist on Quora
  • Add questions that many people in the world might have
  • Monitor your questions and their answers over time to continually improve them

Policies and Guidelines

The Quora Partner Program is set up to benefit the Quora community. Misusing any product or feature on Quora to improve your performance or harm others' experience is strictly forbidden. We've created policies and guidelines to give direction about what constitutes proper use of Quora as it relates to this program. Failure to comply with them may result in expulsion from the program.

Question Policy: Write questions that are consistent with Quora's Acceptable Use Policy, including Quora's policies and guidelines for questions on Quora. Most notably:

  • Questions should abide by Quora's Be Nice, Be Respectful (BNBR) policy.
  • Questions should be clearly written.
  • Quora requires correct spelling, punctuation, grammar and capitalization to be used in questions. A question should consist of complete sentence(s) and end in a question mark.
  • Questions should be concise. As a general guideline, questions should generally be no longer than two sentences, and only one question should be asked at a time.

Topics: Add topics that are accurate and directly relevant for getting an expert answer to an open question (see: What are the policies and guidelines for selecting topics for a Quora question?).
 
Excluded Question Topics: For the Quora Partner Program, any adult questions as well as questions about Quora, the Quora Community, or Quora users (specific people who are not public figures) will be excluded.
 
Merging: Questions on Quora with substantially the same meaning get merged together as duplicates. If your question gets merged into another question, it is too similar to an existing question on Quora and will be excluded from the Quora Partner Program. Merging questions into a new question you've asked is also against policy (see: What's Quora's policy on merging questions?).
 
Secondary Accounts: Having multiple accounts or coordinating votes to benefit you or harm someone else is strictly forbidden (see: Is sockpuppeting allowed on Quora? What happens to people who have multiple accounts?).
 
Reporting: The inappropriate use of the reporting system in any way is not allowed. This includes targeting of other people or content; malicious reporting is a form of harassment, and is a violation of BNBR (see: What is Quora's "Be Nice, Be Respectful" policy?).
