  • Zhihu users are predominantly highly educated young people from first-tier cities, with strong purchasing power, making it highly valuable for promotion.

How to Publish Content on Zhihu

Zhihu Column

Zhihu columns are essentially articles, quite simple and direct; you can just copy and paste some articles from the Ace Data Cloud platform for publication.

Note: Since Zhihu is primarily aimed at Chinese users, the screenshots in the following content are in Chinese.

We can open https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/write to directly access the article publishing page, as shown in the image:

Ace Data Cloud has many API services suitable for developers, along with comprehensive integration guides. The entry point is: https://platform.acedata.cloud/documents. You can see that each API has a corresponding integration guide, as shown in the image:

Assuming we want to promote Ace Data Cloud's Kling API video generation service, its service integration guide document address is https://platform.acedata.cloud/documents/kling-videos-integration.

What we need to do is simply copy this document and publish it as a Zhihu article. After publishing the article, Zhihu's own traffic will expose this article. If other developers see this article and register for Ace Data Cloud through the link in your article, they will be bound as your downstream customers. If they purchase any services from Ace Data Cloud, you will have a continuous income.

So, the key is how to replace the links in this article with your promotional links.

Actually, there’s no need to worry; Ace Data Cloud has already prepared it for us!

We continue to take this article https://platform.acedata.cloud/documents/kling-videos-integration as an example to explain how to publish. You can see that this document is essentially an API integration guide.

Click the share button in the lower right corner, and you will see the relevant operation guide for promoting this article. Of course, if you haven't logged into Ace Data Cloud, please log in first.

Next, you will see a promotional pop-up guide.

Since you need to publish an article on Zhihu, you can directly click the copy button in the promotion window. But note, this is not a simple document copy; behind this, Ace Data Cloud will convert all hyperlinks related to https://platform.acedata.cloud in the document into hyperlinks with your user ID. This way, any reader who reads this article can enter Ace Data Cloud through this link and become your customer.

So, what you need to do is click the copy button above, and you will get a document text that includes your exclusive promotional link.

Then, after copying, save the content and name it in Markdown format, for example, naming it acedata.md file, as shown below:

Next, return to Zhihu, click the "Document" entry, select "Save to File," and import it.

After importing, Zhihu will automatically parse and convert the format, and then we just need to fill in the title, as shown in the image:

Finally, scroll to the bottom and fill in the relevant topics, such as some keywords like kling and API, as shown in the image:

Finally, click publish, and then just wait for Zhihu's exposure. If a customer sees this article and registers for Ace Data Cloud through the invitation link, that customer will become your downstream customer, and if the customer recharges, you will receive a continuous income.

Answering Questions

You can also promote by answering questions on Zhihu. For example, if the above article is about Kling API, we can search for related questions, such as "可灵" or "Kling," to find relevant questions.

Open the question and click "Write Answer," as shown in the image:

Then, follow the above steps to import the copied document and publish it.

This promotion method is a more precise promotion; it is recommended to select some relatively high-traffic questions to answer for greater exposure.

The above is just an example of one article; you can select more articles from Ace Data Cloud for publication to gain more exposure.
