Thanks very much for your thoughts.
We've been self-funded.
Yes. The time cost associated with writing high quality answers from scratch is high. But there's probably some low hanging fruit to be plucked in the direction of looking for questions asking about things that our articles address. Thanks for reminding us.
Quora celebrity Alex K Chen is one of our advisors, is a coauthor at our Quora blog, and has been compiling material useful to Cognito Mentoring.
Thanks, this is great, it's the sort of thing I was hoping for when I posted.
James Miller made a suggestion along similar lines. We're investigating this.
Congrats. Maybe you could persuade him to include a statement like "I am an advisor to Cognito Mentoring" or similar in his self-summary? Or try to get other Quora celebrities to become advisors (esp. those who have taken an interest in smart high schoolers and answering questions related to them) and then get them to link to Cognito Mentoring from their profiles? How about asking past/present/future advisees to link to you from their online profiles?
BTW, I just wanted to say thanks a lot to both of you for working on Cognito Mentoring. It's a great idea and it seems like you guys are doing a great job.

Obviously, you will get more attention and genuine interest if you don't just throw links at the feed and hope they stick.
