    1. Look for Q&As on Quora<\/strong><\/h1>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Quora<\/strong><\/a> is an abundance of information and continuous resource for content writers, users, noobies and people wanting to find specific answers to their problems. The information is organized and edited by users, which makes it easy to understand the user behavior. Quora is so famous<\/strong><\/a> that even the\u00a0former U.S. President Barack Obama is on it.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"Quora<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Besides all the ideas, you get the advantage of seeing what language and vocabulary people use, the way of writing and asking questions. And after you got some inspiration, you can write the article. Then you can answer questions by pointing people to your article.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"Quora\"<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Quora is a great space for keyword research and headlines\/titles inspiration. For example, if we use the screenshot below and we want to write about keyword cannibalization, we can see if most people use a focus keyword such as – avoid keyword cannibalization or the question type such as – what is keyword cannibalization. \u00a0<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    The site is divided into topics, which makes it easy to search for blogging ideas and get insights on what people are looking for. There is an entire community on Quora where a lot of people and experts on every subject you can imagine are actively contributing with knowledge.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    If you are focused on a specific topic, use the newly launched Spaces and follow the community that interests you.<\/p>\n
