Hi, welcome back to Discussbytes. In this post, I will talk about the newly announced Quora Space Earnings Program (Beta) that can be a beneficial way for earning some dollars for you.
What is Quora?
Quora is a questions and answers website whose aim is to share and grow the world's knowledge. Questions are asked, answered, followed, and shared by the users on the website. Over 300 million monthly unique visitors access the website and the number is further growing. It is currently available in 24 languages across the globe.
Quora Spaces
Started in 2018, Quora Spaces is a new feature in Quora that enables people to curate and form communities around shared interests and tastes. It enables people to create communities with a particular niche or related topics. Until May 2020, Quora Spaces could be created by selected users. Quora Spaces has now been made available to all users. So anyone who desires to make it can proceed further. You can also join to other spaces as an admin, contributor, moderator, or follower.
Quora Earnings Beta Program
Fast forward, now we come to the main topic of this post. Quora has recently announced Quora Earnings for selected Quora Spaces owners. You can check your eligibility by going to your Quora feed or Quora App. It will give you an option like this if you are eligible:
This program is currently available in selected "eligible regions". Eligible regions include:-
- Australia
- Belgium
- Canada
- Denmark
- Finland
- France
- Germany
- India
- Indonesia
- Italy
- Mexico
- Netherlands
- Norway
- Portugal
- Spain

If you are in an eligible region then congrats you are free to participate in this program. Once you accept to enter this program, you would see a new Earnings tab in your feed. It tells you how much money you have earned from your space.
Your earnings depend on user engagement with your content and advertising revenue generated from your space. So you need an active following and engagement in addition to a big following list.
Conditions to get paid
To get paid, you need to comply with all these conditions:-
1. Earn a minimum of $10 dollars with your space.
2. Eligibility review from Quora.
3. The money will be paid in your Stripe* account so create one and link it with Quora.
*Stripe is a similar payment solution like PayPal.

After you have earned $10, you would be able to see your earnings broken out by date and how much you have earned on each day.
Some Important Tips and Information
- Your earning is based on how much people engage and interact with your content and the advertising revenue generated from your space.
- Currently, only Space owners can manage the income distribution between admins, contributors, and moderators.
- Spaces should not contain content that enables dishonest or illegal behavior, endangers other people, or is inappropriate for the Quora community.
- It is OK for a Space to contain some promotional content. However, the goal of Space should not be to promote one product or service.
- Spaces should have clear and appropriate icons and cover photos.
- Any detected view or click fraud on Space content or ads in Spaces is grounds for immediate removal from the Space Earnings Beta Program.
- If you want to give feedback on this program, you can mail your suggestions on "spaces-earnings-beta@quora.com".
My Experiences
I am the owner of the Quora Space "Tech Guide". It has more than 4,000 followers and growing. I have just enrolled in this program and have earned $0.02 as of now. It is too early to speculate about low earnings since it is a beta program. It remains to be seen whether it would be able to cross $10 but I hope that my efforts are not gone in vain.
Quora Space: Tech Guide
Update 1 (22/10/2020): Hurrah! My space has crossed 51K followers and I have now earned about $2.00. Now I am just 8 dollars away from my first payment from Quora. Will be updating this article in in future. Just stay connected with us.
Update 2 (26/10/2020): My space has 51.4K followers and I have earned $2.34 from Quora. From my earning pattern, I am understanding that sharing popular answers, useful links, questions and creating new posts in spaces can help in making your space's earnings better. Maybe the advertising revenues are increasing which has led to increase in my earnings.
I will update the article whenever I get to know something new to share with you.
