Tips to be a Top Writer on Quora. How much time they devote to Quora?

We have hundreds of Top Writers and the number of hours they spend on Quora will be difficult to generalize as it depends on many things and could drastically vary from person to person.

I feel that Top Writer pay focus on Quality and they don't spend time, they invest their time on Quora.

I have interacted with few top writers and based on my experience I am sharing some tips to be a Top Writer:)

1. Consistency-They contribute to the development of the site regularly.
2. Selective- They are selective and will respond to a A2A only if they feel that your question will be helpful for many and is new.
3. Smart- They are smart and they manage their time wisely. Few Top Writer I know accepted that they had become Top Writer when they least expected for it.
4. All rounder- Quora is a better platform that any other question answer website because you will get noticed even when you answer to questions from topics which are least followed and you have few upvotes and views compared to someone writing on a popular topic.
5. Criteria- The criteria for being a top writer is subjective with only one objective. The criteria is subjective because number of upvotes or number of views are not the only parameters. The criteria is objective because the purpose is to acknowledge the efforts of those who bring in their unique expertise and write quality answers and hence, Quora wants to retain all who are making invaluable contributions.
6. Look beyond writing answers- Writing answers is wonderful but Quora also loves all-rounders who ask though provoking Questions and offer feedback.
7. Self Driven- Top Writers give Feedback to other's answers through suggesting edits, merging similar questions, writing insightful comments to answers of others, upvoting quality answers , downvoting badly drafted or incorrect answers, reporting violation of any of the policy of Quora, etc. They are self driven by their passion to make Quora a wonderful and extremely helpful resource for generations to come.
8. Writing is Editing- Top Writers like the humble man Balaji Viswanathan suggests that we should revisit our answers again and again to improvise it. After all, we are contributing to the Quora's vision of compiling the "Best Answers to any Question".
9. Write answers to tough Questions- You may find that many worthy questions are lying unanswered while we spend our time writing the 361st answer to a question which has been flooded with answers. Mr. Balaji recommends that we should answer to questions which don't have a better answer.
10. Follow Top Writers- Read to your favorite top writers and learn from them. Treat them as your virtual mentors and just by staying in their company, you will gradually improve as a writer and don't forget that " Good things happen when you least expect them"
11. Be a mentor yourself- You can never grow unless you know how to share your knowledge selflessly with others. Idolize the great people we have on Quora. I also admire Ellen Vrana, who once told me to do good things to others and I am proud to say that I am able to contribute to the learning of many newcomers like me on Quora.
