Understanding Quora Monetization: Criteria and Countries Eligible for Earnings

Do you find yourself asking, How can I monetize on Quora when the option is not showing? Unfortunately, you might not see the monetization option because you are not eligible to earn through Quora's monetization program.

Why the Monetization Option Might Not Be Visible

At present, it's not possible to become eligible for monetization if you aren't already a monetized user. This means that to meet the conditions for earning from Quora, you must already be part of a selected group that has been invited to participate in the program.

Eligible Countries for Quora Earnings

Your Quora profile doesn't specify your location, but it is important to know that only users from certain countries are eligible for Quora's monetization opportunities. Here is a list of countries where you can potentially earn:

Earnings Countries - Quora

United States

United Kingdom

Australia

Canada

India

India (Punjab State with Aadhaar)

If you live in one of these countries and have been invited to monetize, you can move forward with the process. This includes setting up a payment account with Quora's designated platform, linking it to your bank account, and accepting the invitation.

Other Requirements for Monetization

Even if you live in an eligible country, there are other requirements you need to meet before you can start earning. These include:

You must have a substantial following on Quora to attract paying members to view your content. Your content needs to be viewed by paying members who come to Quora specifically to engage with content through the adaptive paywall.

Having a large following and a high number of answers can certainly increase your chances of meeting these criteria. For example, I have 65,000 followers and 40,000 answers, and I have attempted to monetize my content twice for 30 days each time. My most recent attempt in November 2022 resulted in earnings of approximately $45.

Current Limitations for Certain Regions

It is crucial to note that Quora monetization is not available in all countries. According to the latest information, no African or Middle Eastern nation is included in the list of eligible countries for Quora earnings.

This means that even if you are located in these regions, you must change your location to one of the eligible countries to be eligible for Quora's monetization program.

Conclusion

The ability to monetize on Quora is not only dependent on having a large following and content views but also on you being from an eligible country and having been invited to participate in the program. For those in non-eligible regions or currently not part of the selected group, patience and persistence are key.
