Quora vs Medium - What's the Difference?

I write articles on Quora and am a top writer, most viewed writer, with 2K Answers, 212M content views and 139K upvotes:



I signed up for a new Medium account and published a new article. Two days have passed, but no views, why?



I found email marketing less harder to learn than SEO.

I found Medium.com less harder to learn than email marketing (I'm a writer so writing is easier for me), but Medium was still a lot of hard work and not much money at all, so naturally when I went through that experience with Medium for a whole year and not much money, I didn't even want to try Quora.

Even though writing/blogging is pretty easy for me, still it's TIME-consuming.

Email marketing, even though it's time-consuming in its own way with email-writing/scheduling, finding the good offers, building an email list, etc., statistics showed me it's got a higher monetary return than like blogging (like Medium and Quora or even running my own blog on Wordpress where I'd have to promote it anyway, either with paid ads or getting the word out somehow, for free on social media, etc. And come to find out the monetary return is still smaller on social media than in email marketing).

Yep. And that's something more recent. I started with Medium in 2019
before Medium had set that requirement.

As a beginner, I was able to make a bit...like, $1- $5 a month at first which was actually good for a newbie, then after I got better with my articles, they changed the algorhithm so that I went down to earning like 5 CENTS a month after that (I still had the same style of frXX!#$^^!! ing content on there but higher quality because I'd learned, which was maddening), and when they came up with the "you gotta have at least 100 followers before you can monetize" I actually quit! Even though I already had like 200 followers! lol

I just wasn't making enough even with 200+ followers with their latest algorhithm.



Ctoyen, have you made anything from Quora? How does that compare to my Medium earnings?

I'd love to know.
Thanks.
