You can leverage this awesome tool to find out some trending questions about what your users are looking for. For example, you are in a health niche. Just search for the keyword “Health” in quora. You will then find the relevant and mostly asked questions by users.

Step 6.  Create a Outline for your post

After going through the above steps, you need to create an outline for your post. Use broad topics that you want to cover. Follow up it by filling the sub-topics for each section. Don’t forget to give each section a name.

For instance, your outline might looks like:

Header: xbox series x  Review: It’s Amazing!

• Subheader: Why is the Xbox series x so amazing?
  • Sub-sub-header: Great selection of games
  • Sub-sub-header: Durability and screen quality
  • Sub-sub-header: Number of players
• Subheader: The best games on Xbox series x
  • Sub-sub-header: Solo play games
  • Sub-sub-header: Cooperative games

You can also use bullets to highlight out some important points. They are also an excellent way to feed your audience in a way that keeps them coming back for more.

Step 6. Add Images to your post

The image speaks a thousand words. You need to add images to break up your content so that your users can grasp it easily. The human mind understands the visuals more easily than the text.

Make sure that you have created your own images to avoid any copyrighted issues. You can use tools like Canva to create your own images. However, you can also use free stock images from sites like Pixabay, pexels, etc.
