ASK Famous Bloggers

How to start a Q&A site using WordPress? This post will answer this question and by example as usual, you can check out here at Ask Famous Blogger powered by WordPress and AskIt ElegantThemes theme. I remember when it was a very complicated math to develop and create a website for example like Yahoo Answers using WordPress, many people were asking for this kind of sites so they can start their own active online community.

Well.. I was one of those guys by the way! If you know me enough, then probably you already know that I love building communities, and one of the most interesting projects I’ve ever worked on was starting questions and answers section in a discussion forum, I could see after a while how much fun it’s to ask a question and get the answer from different point of views, opinions, and experiences.

So, What’s up Famous Bloggers?

One thing I felt I should do long time back is to buy all Famous Bloggers domain names, for example .net .org .info .co , and this is what I did, although I haven’t got the chance to get the .com yet as it”s sold to someone else before we started FB!

So..

Now we have a new setup at FamousBloggers.info, this site will be a place where we can ask and answer to question related to blogging, business and making money online from blogging. so basically I am not going to answer a lot of questions here on the blog anymore, I would prefer if you have a question to head over FamousBloggers.info and Ask Famous Bloggers 🙂

The site is 90% ready, I would say 100% but I don’t really think that there is a perfect website anywhere on the internet! Anyways.. I decided to pronounce it right a way as there is no need to wait! I will try to keep it simple as it’s to serve the community as one of FB projects, so go a head and ask a question!

How Q&A Model can help your business?

Q&A sites -in my opinion- is a very simple and easy way to leverage your community’s knowledge, Q&A sites is ideal for niche sites and it actually can fit any niche site, it could be food site, health, business, money or what ever your niche is!

You can have a BOOM by setting up a Q&A site related to a particular local business in your area! or anything that matters for a group of people and create a community around it, they will love to hang out on your site looking for information they need because simply they are sure they will find this piece of information!

As you see I am always looking to create new sites that are related to each other, this should make a lot of sense to my readers and blog visitors, so now as I am running the new “ASK Famous Bloggers” site, I will be able to provide free support to those who have questions, and this is not all! Also You also can help those who need information by answering their questions.

But anyways, the thing I really want you to think about is why you need a site like this? Is it easy to manage a Q&A site? Is it going to give real value to your community?

If you answer is YES! then certainly you can do it, it’s very simple to create a new Q&A site using AskIt ElegantThemes and a fresh WordPress installation, you have two choices, it can be installed on a brand new domain name that has a strong relationship to your main domain name, or you can simply create it on a sub-domain, E.G. (ask.yourdomain.com or community.yourdomain.com), it cool to give others new ways to communicate (fun) and get the help when they need it!

Why the Q&A platform is ideal as addition to your niche site?

  • Leverage your business
  • Increase community engagement
  • Increase knowledge
  • Visitors like free support and they will be checking your site more often!
  • Search engines love to answer questions (people are always searching for answers!)
  • It’s a lot of FUN!

Signing up for ElegantThemes WordPress Themes?

I’ve said this before, and I will be saying it for ever even I am not running ElegantThemes on FamousBloggers main blog (We are using Thesis Theme), I decided to use Askit ElegantThemes on one of our projects at FamousBloggers.info signup for ElegantThemes first then pick up any other theme of your choice,

    Hesham, I think question and answer sites have a good chance of making if its has an active community willing to help others. The new site looks great and I just signed up...
    • Hesham says:
      It's simple way to get community support, I am still waiting for question, and probably I won't answer questions here on the blog anymore unless someone ask them at Ask FB ;)
      • James Johnston says:
        Simply refer them to the new site :)
  2. TJ McDowell says:
    Q&A sites seem to work well at establishing an expert. A person who doesn't know the answer looks to a wise expert for great insight. Then the expert amazes everyone with great answers, and everyone respects him as the top dog. The only thing I think that sometimes happens is that there aren't enough questions, or the people answering questions aren't really experts. If neither of those situations happens though, sounds like another great idea.
    • Hesham says:
      Hey TJ, I like that! It's true And, yes there isn't enough questions, I have no idea why :)
  3. Rob says:
    These themes are great. I think the functionality/framework is all that matters. In almost all cases you want to customize all the graphics anyways.
    • Hesham says:
      I agree, although you can use elegantthemes without customization at all, but this is not me! :)
  4. Harsh Agrawal says:
    Usability ways this theme is good but somehow I didn't enjoyed the design much... I would prefer wp-answers theme over this one..Just my 2cents..!!
    • Hesham says:
      Thank you Harsh, I think mostly a problem with fonts!
  5. Dennis Edell says:
    I assume you can customize the theme so thy don't all look the same, yes?
    • Hesham says:
      Of course Dennis, the whole thing can be redesigned! Actually ASkit has seven unique color schemes that you can choose from, and it comes with a huge PSD files including the main site design, logo and some other stuff! I choose the default color scheme because it so close to FB and it's what I need!
      • Dennis Edell says:
        Excellent. I've been contemplating the Q&A for quite some time, then wondering if it should be on the main blog(s) or a separate site altogether.
  6. Dan Lew says:
    Before the jobs section now this, somebody slow this guy down, I thought I was a machine :)
    • Hesham says:
      Oh Dan haha There is a lot in the kitchen ;) Nice recent post about marketer and guest posting, I should share this one on Twitter :)
  7. Mani Viswanathan says:
    Good to see you choosing to go with Elegant Themes (AskIt) rather than going for the other Answers theme which is becoming very famous now. I will be heading there to Answer some of the questions in my niche :P
    • Hesham says:
      Thank you for stopping by Mani, haha I hope you got a few questions to answer, have fun!
  8. Nishadha says:
    It is a nice idea to start a Q & A site and I'm thinking of starting one myself. But wouldn't it be better to have it as a forum in your own blog, that way you are automatically generating content for your own blog as well.
    • Hesham says:
      I think the Q & A platform is more fun than a discussion forum! Both will be good for generating content and for SEO though!
  9. Jhong Medina says:
    It's a nice theme Hesham. I like the clean look and the cool blue which is pleasant to the eyes. Moreover it's in wordpress, double thumbs up for the askit theme! More power man!
    • Hesham says:
      Hi Jhong, Blue is also a serious color :) Thank you for stopping by
  10. illz says:
    I seen Q&A come and go. In the end of the day I think people go to a dedicated forum.
    • Hesham says:
      mmm.. maybe you have been in the wrong sites! I am talking here about a well established community that we will try support each other!
  11. Rahul says:
    i really think this is a great way for help , and getting more skills depends on getting more answers and this is a great topic for everyone , thank you about it !
    • Hesham says:
      Rahul , I personally learn a lot from answering questions :)
  12. Kerry says:
    Hesham - Great article. I never really saw how a Q&A site could really benefit me that much until now. I have heard someone talking about how it can help your search engine rankings but didn't look too much into it because it seemed a little intimidating at first. If this AskIt ElegantThemes works as good as you say it would I am definitely interested in making my own Q&A site. I'm looking forward to checking out the new FamousBloggers.info site.
    • Hesham says:
      Hi Kerry, nothing will work alone if you know what I mean! I am sure it will work but of course it needs someone behind it!
  13. Wasim Ismail says:
    This is great, and I can see it will help many, as we always have questions and looking for answers on the web, so having one point of contact and saving time, is perfect.
    • Hesham says:
      I get a lot of questions everyday here in the comments and by email, so I am going to drive these question to "ASK Famous Bloggers" new site, this will benefit more readers as the site grows. Thank you Wasim for stopping by
  14. Jasmine says:
    That's a nice question and answer site. The design is great, but I found the fonts to be a little too large.
    • Hesham says:
      Jasmine, as I said before I am not the one who designed it, but I will put this in mind probably I will take a look into this after getting some more question to have a better view of the site! Thanks a lot
  15. Hung Hong says:
    Just checked your new site.It's very nice.You love big font, right?
    • Hesham says:
      Hey Hung, nice avatar :) Oh! I am not so sure if I like big fonts, but I like strong ones, anyways I didn't design the site, I've only fixed a few things, and added couple of functions and social buttons :) I got your question on the new site, I will answer it soon haha.. nice one!
      • Hung Hong says:
        Just checked elegantthemes and very shoke that price is..so cheap (compare to other).
        • Hesham says:
          With ElegantThemes membership you really get a lot for paying less!
