One of the largest and most underestimated social networks with around 200 million users (and around a $2 billion valuation) is Quora. Quora is kind of a mix between Reddit , LinkedIn, and the late Google Answers. Millions of questions are asked every day on every topic you can imagine (even very obscure ones you won't find on Medium and you'll only find on Reddit) and other members who are knowledgeable in those areas answer them. It's an excellent way to build your brand, drive traffic to your website or videos, and become an authority in your industry. You start your profile by ideally connecting your account to Facebook and Twitter, which helps you to find and connect with your existing friends and followers. You then create and optimize your profile including links to your other social media accounts, blogs, websites, products, or anything else you're looking to promote. You can start a free blog there as well if you want. I wouldn't recommend it over Medium, ...

I'm constantly asked about social media marketing, digital media, entrepreneurship, search engine optimization, retail sales, social selling, and many other topics through various outlets. These business questions come through my website, social media platforms, forums like Medium / Quora / Reddit / Ask /   Google / Inbound.org, and other outlets. When I have a lot of information to share on a particular subject I'll usually write an in-depth answer in the form of an article here... but I don't always have the time. Sometimes I just give a quick answer, or whatever initially comes to mind without prepping or brainstorming.  This series is reminiscent of  hustling entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk 's book #AskGaryVee (which I'm finishing now before posting a review), but I've actually been doing this for years with previous projects and businesses. My first  Bootstrap Business Blog Blitz  was a big hit so I'm making this a mainstay feature on my site...

Enjoy my most recent installment of Bootstrap Business Blog Blitz: answering your questions on social media marketing and more! These days how relevent is it for a blogger to have a Twitter account as opposed to an Instagram account? It’s still very important to have both in my opinion. I get 5–10x the blog and website traffic from my Twitter than I do from Instagram and it has helped my blog / website SEO tremendously. I think most bloggers that use both platforms successfully have a similar experience. Use both well to cover your bases. I like to remind people that “Twitter isn’t dead yet”. Why have I suddenly lost interest in social media pages like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter? I’d have to say that it’s probably a positive thing, unless you are using these platforms for business purposes. I’m on social media all day every day (mostly for work) and it gets old after awhile. Hopefully you are replacing the time you spent on social media with healthier and more productive activ...

I get questions on a daily basis about social media marketing, digital media, entrepreneurship, SEO, retail, and many other topics through various outlets. These questions come through my website, social media platforms, forums like Quora / Reddit / Google / Inbound.org, and other outlets. When I have a lot of information to share on a particular subject I'll usually write an in-depth answer in the form of an article here... but I don't always have the time. Sometimes I just give a quick answer, or whatever comes to mind first without edits.  It's actually ending up feeling a bit like hustling entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk 's book #AskGaryVee (which I'm finishing now before posting a review), but I've actually been doing this for years with previous businesses.  This will be my first installment of Bootstrap Business Blog Blitz, tackling quick questions from readers, viewers, peers, and friends. You'll also see plenty of internal links throughout which bri...
