Question answered on Musing.io
Since Musing itself tends to weight their upvotes higher for answers than questions, and questions pretty much stay on Musing, there's not a whole lot to be done with those. However, answers can be posted to your blog so they'll show up on Steemit and other front ends, and so if that's what we're talking about there's a few things that can be done to at least build on what Musing might upvote.

POST TO BLOG

As I mentioned, Musing gives those who answer an opportunity to post to blog, so that the answer will actually appear as a post elsewhere, rather than just sit on Musing. So, choosing the option is a good idea for even more potential exposure. Just make sure that the answer is something that many people would consider worthy of a post, since the issue of 'quality' still makes its rounds, at least on the blogging end of STEEM.

USE AN IMAGE OR TWO

Images can be integrated into an answer on Musing directly, or edited in after the fact. Images help to attract the eye to a post, and help to tell the story along with the words. You'll want to be just as selective with images for your Musing answer you're opting to post as you would a regular post you would publish.

COVER THE TOPIC AND ANTICIPATE

Some questions are better than others when it comes to answering, so again, picking and choosing what you answer and decide to post to blog is in order. Once the choice is made, cover the topic as best you can. Length isn't so much the criteria as it is how well the answer is crafted, how easy it is to read and understand, and whether it's sufficiently thorough, thought-provoking and/or factual.

That might mean anticipating additional questions that could arise from answering the initial question. It will depend a lot on what is already known about any subject, but doing what is possible to expound upon the topic is s a good idea.

It might not hurt to do some Internet research to help punch up or back up what you've written (just make sure to attribute as you do with an image—don't plagiarize).

EXPERIENCES OR ANECDOTES

Providing some kind of personal story or that of someone else is a good way to provide personalize the subject matter. Don't make something up, unless it's made known that the example is fictional. Be real. Be genuine. Be sincere. Being able to relate with the material personally can be just as powerful or as captivating as simple facts.

TAGS

The idea isn't to optimize with tags, but to use tags that are appropriate to your subject matter. People do search based on tags, and it is annoying to find off topic posts in those tags. Some of it is probably unintentional, because up to five tags can be used, but try to stay within the general concept of each tag as much as possible. It's not necessary to use all five if they don't quite coordinate, and there really isn't much of an advantage to do so.

There will be authors who try to only use tags that reportedly have higher rewards, but that's because people are interested in those kinds of topics. Aside from not receiving upvotes on a post that is inappropriately tagged, it might actually cause flags, and might even encourage a visit by a bot like Cheetah or something else that monitor tags.

CONCLUSION

There's probably more that could be added here, but the ideas offered here are definitely a good place to start, and while nothing can be guaranteed, has worked for me on the occasions I've posted a Musing answer to blog. Results will always vary, so try different things if the first few attempts don't satisfy.
