Other than Quora, what are the best platforms to promote Fiverr gigs and portfolio? 

(Usual social media like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube are excluded from my list.)

** It's better if suggested websites are blogging or showcasing kind of platforms.

No, it’s not better. It will be just opening those website for spam of fiverr gig links. 
 

and why quora is a good platform for promotion? Is your target audience there? If not then quora of Fb or Twitter will be completely useless for you.

I am confused, I am not willing to spam anywhere, I was looking for something where I can create content and that content will generate traffic over the years, so I don't understand why is that "not better"? If you explain, it will be helpful.

I'm a Quoran for a long time, and I've got followers as I am a technical ( programming ) writer. So I can generate traffic from Quora which I am doing right now or trying to do. 

But FB, Twitter is no good for me I don't use those platforms that much and these social media lacks the kind of viewers I am looking for.

And that’s great that you already determined that. However asking on the forum without even specifying what are you doing, what are your services etc wouldn’t get you any good answers. 
only you yourself through a research can determine where to find your customers

I understand what you are saying and I also agree with you here, but I was looking for generalized suggestions what people have already tried and it worked for them. Because

I think twitter would be better than Quora.

@fastweber In most cases, mine included, I've seen that sharing your gigs outside Fiverr brings little to no real conversion to orders. As @mariashtelle1also mentioned this, people who visit social media sites aren't looking for such services there. They are there to share their opinions, chat with others, and so on. Even if someone does take the interest in your gig, they are at most going to check out the link, maybe mark it into their favorites if you're lucky, then completely forget about it. A person who IS looking to hire sellers will come to the site directly, not search social media for gig promotions. From my personal experience, your best bet is to send out buyer requests, complete your profile, use good keywords for your description, put up samples on your gig, and wait. No twitter, no quora, no FB. I have yet to see a case that has had success through any other methods.

I think I need to explain my original question a little more to make you understand what I'm looking for and why, I'm listing few points below:-

1. I don't prefer any social media for gig promotion.

2. Quora is an exception, Why?? Because Quora isn't a usual social media it's an open source  platform for question and answer. Which means if you search a question in google search engine then there is quite a bit of chance your answer will show up in google ranking, which generate traffic and might convert a traffic to a buyer, not everyone who is looking for a service knows about fiverr, freelancer, Upwork etc.  as specific. 

3. I'm searching for platforms like BlogSpot, and other open source content creating platforms where I can write thing or create a content and the SEO will help me rank in google for a converting traffic in long term. 

4. This is the basic method affiliate marketers follow or digital marketers follow and if it works for them then why a gig promotion which is actually promoting a digital service in an open source wouldn't help me to get more buyers? 

 

** I've already mentioned no usual social media for a reason, but people keep overlooking that line, don't know why?!
