Based on user experiences and Quora's platform changes, the monetization landscape for Quora Spaces has evolved significantly. While some creators previously earned money through ad revenue sharing and subscriptions, those specific programs have been discontinued in favor of a new model.

Here's a breakdown of how earnings work with over 100,000 followers, based on the current system.

The Shift in Quora Space Monetization
Quora officially discontinued its Space Subscriptions and Ads Revenue Sharing programs. These programs had previously allowed creators to earn money based on ad views and paid subscribers within their Space.

The new primary method for Quora Space monetization is through Quora+.

My Earnings with Over 100K Followers (An Estimated Range)
A Space with over 100,000 followers is considered a large and established community on Quora. However, your earnings are no longer directly tied to your follower count or ad views. Instead, your income depends on two key factors:

Quora+ Revenue Sharing:

How it works: You earn a portion of the Quora+ subscription fees when members of your Space who are Quora+ subscribers read or interact with your content.

The Money: The more high-quality, exclusive content you produce that keeps Quora+ subscribers engaged, the higher your earnings will be. The payout is based on a complex algorithm that considers reading time and user interaction.

Estimated Earnings: A popular Space with 100,000+ followers that consistently creates high-quality, paywalled content could earn a few hundred dollars to over a thousand dollars per month, but this is highly variable and depends on the Space's niche and engagement.

Referral Bonus:

How it works: You earn a bonus each time a non-subscriber signs up for Quora+ from a post that originates in your Space. This gives you a direct incentive to create compelling content that encourages new users to join the paid program.

The Money: This can be a significant source of income, especially if your viral posts lead to many new Quora+ sign-ups.

Key Factors That Influence Earnings
For a large Space with over 100K followers, these factors will dictate your income:

Content Quality: The quality and uniqueness of your content are more important than ever. The new system rewards content that is valuable enough to be put behind a paywall and keep subscribers engaged.

Niche: A Space in a high-value niche (e.g., finance, technology, professional development) with a highly engaged audience will likely have a higher RPM (Revenue Per Mille) and better conversion rates for Quora+ sign-ups.

Audience Engagement: The number of followers is a vanity metric; the number of active, engaged users in your Space is what truly matters.

Active Promotion: To maximize earnings, you must actively promote your exclusive content and the Quora+ program to your audience, both within and outside of Quora.
