Quora Blogs / Spaces (discontinued) vs. Substack

Quora Blogs are great for businesses that are looking for new audiences and new subjects to talk about. It's especially great for users of Quora Answers as they can integrate those with their blogs to help generate far more content than most. Plus, the social settings help get you seen, liked and subscribed.

It's well-suited for a creative writer who is comfortable writing essays or short fiction. It's especially well-suited for writers who are focused on writing essays based on personal experiences. I'm not sure it has the tools at this point for someone who wants to serialize a novel or long-form non-fiction book. I'd like to see better multi-media tools for writers/content creators who are fluent in written and audio-visual methods of communicating.

• It's really difficult when multiple people are editing the blog at same time. Some things change or get overwritten due to which have to reload the page multiple times. Would like to see an experience just like in Google docs.

Quora has an amazing community that gives you the support you need if you are actively contributing in a helpful way. Content is short and concise and gets right to the matter at hand. My team has found it useful in showing up as an expert in our industry by answering the questions that are being asked out there.

Quora Blogs scores high on Social Media Interaction. Although I would rate Medium.com lowest in social interaction. But, high on full proof content. Quora Blogs is a lot more expressive, gives you freedom in any case. Medium doesn't have that liberty because content should be more Academic on Medium whereas LinkedIn never had that transparency due to maintenance of a professional aura.

Substack is the DTC version of traditional blogging sites - you own everything, both upside, and risk, which appeals to me more. Compared to Blogger, the ability to monetize and site interface is night and day better. Compared to Medium, which I think has a better interface and content curation abilities, Substack's advertising and promotion of your work are much better because they don't rely on premium members like Medium - it can get very click-baity there.

• Takes much much less time to produce content that you can charge for. This wasn't doable before, or you'd have to build it yourself
• Substack has made it much easier for me to stay on top of ex-customer communications. I get repeat business more easily now.
• Substack's speed & ease mean I can offload content writing & distribution to others
