Hi Subro!
If you're interested to target your product towards market researchers, you can include contents that are in general useful for market researchers who can find you through these contents. Here are some ideas for online polls and researchers.
Hey thanks for doing this, here is mine:

Hi Subro, thanks for doing this.
Here is mine:
https://promote.so - Grow your business through partnerships
Keywords: Affiliate marketing, partnership marketing, partner management platform, referral marketing, influencer marketing, promoting business.
Hey, these keywords are very competitive and to start out with content marketing you should look for long tail versions of these, unless you have a high promotional budget. Also, you may consider targeting a specific type of audience and then expand to a broader market. Here are some ideas (long tail versions):
X can be restaurants, real estate, realtor resort and so on
Thanks for doing this!
Here's my site: https://www.fundstory.com
keyword: non-dilutive capital
Looks like you already have some cool content added in your site. One possible issue I can see is that contents are concise. You can add more related topics to them to make them 1500+ words long as you are in a competitive industry, even if the specific keywords are not very competitive.
Here are few ideas you can try:
Thanks for this quick feedback!

I believe a lot of people using your site are freelancers or productized services. So if you try building a content strategy around educating them it'll really make an impact and help you build trust and engagement. Here are some ideas:
The second one is a content machine where you can fit any topic like web-design, logo making, voiceover, Stripe developer etc. and create more content based on suitable keywords.
good idea...thnx

keywords: christmas ecards, new year ecards, birthday ecards, valentines ecards, mother day ecards
Here are some ideas that will help you rank for some common keywords but try to find the long tail version of those keywords:
I am not good with writing content with the right hook to points to my site. Do you have any referral?
If you're interested in SEO content, I can help. Will message you.
Hi Subro! I hope I'm not too late :)
Thanks!
Hi, it looks like an interesting tool but when I entered a link for test drive, nothing came up for minutes. Is this tool functional?
Hi Subro, yes it's totally functional :).
The tool can be used on websites that don't block the ability to be embedded.
Perhaps the url you inserted in the test-drive doesn't allow to be embedded?

Hey, you have to decide your content based on the audience you want to target. I'm assuming you'll first go after people who don't have a lot of experience with trading. So below are some ideas and if you can explain them in layman's terms that will attract a lot of audience.
X =algorithmic trading and Y can be technical analysis, manual trading, high frequency trading, discretionary trading etc.

If you're just getting started with content, you can try addressing the most sought after topics in this area like below. Replace X with few businesses you'll like to address and pick some tailored case studies that they would be familiar with.
Y can be the most important benefits your services offer.
these are great! Definitely enough to spin them off into a few good pieces, thank you so much, you are a rockstar.

Hi, here are some ideas:
Thanks for this @Subro!
Here’s ours:
Hi,
Thank you!
You can target a range of keywords with the topics as below:
X can be disabilities, pets, for college OR name of places
For a platform like yours, keyword focused content makes more sense as you'll get a ton of users from searches for long-tail keywords.
Hey, thanks for doing this.
Here’s mine: https://fiwl-js.github.io/
I would love to hear what you have to say and how I could improve.
Startups crushing it! is a free and paid newsletter where I interview startup founders or write about interesting startups.
https://www.startupscrushing.com/

Here are some for this topics. Although this is a competitive space, so the niche topics will work well here.
Mainstream ones:
Hey, thanks for your help :)
Here are some ideas.
Online document collection: step by step guide for X
X can be agency, bank, warehouses, freelancers, contractors, realtors- you may think about different use cases for each of them and present as a industry specific post
Here's how Online document collection services keep your data secure
BTW do you also collect digital signatures? if yes, you may add more content around that.
Great ideas! Not collecting digital signatures (yet) but it's on the way.
I'll give a try on one of those articles and start seeing results.
X can be SEOs, Realtors, investors, researchers etc.

After research on Ahrefs I found this KW: "youtube end screen template" (Difficulty 19, Volume 3.9k, Top page has 100 backlinks )
I am thinking I add 3 templates under this category https://storycreatorapp.com/templates and add a blog post around how to add Youtube end screen templates
Open to thoughts
Hey, I just had a look at your keyword and couple of things I'd like to point out before the content ideas. The Ahrefs difficulty isn't right for your keyword.
So, the method I use for keyword difficulty is this- I find some alternatives of the keyword and punch them in google (in incognito mode) and find out the results coming out. If the results contain >7 pages from big brands it's high difficulty, <=7 and >3, medium and 3 or less is easy. In your case the pages I found are from: snappa, adobe, canva, profounder, gotchseo etc. So it's definitely high difficulty.
More importantly, the top results are images are youtube videos, so you might have you consider recording a video, and putting some good number images/templates out there to compete for this keyword (Wofox is ranking with a list of 62). That said, here are my ideas for content:
Thanks for taking the time. So do you think I should change my research process a bit and go after a different word?
Yes, that'll make sense. You can follow the method I mentioned to pick easier keywords not competing with big brands.
I see so sounds like Ahrefs ranking is one part of the equation. It's best to combine that factor with the actual SERPs and if big companies are on there with high DR?
I agree with that, I read from the Ahrefs blog that the backlink volume and the DR are some key things to evaluate to see how hard it will be to rank.
So with your method, I assume it's similar, a big brand will naturally have a high DR and backlinks. However, I think it's possible to beat bigger brands if you have stronger backlinks and more backlink volume.. right?
That's a bit tricky. By DR if you mean domain rating from Ahrefs that can easily be achieved. I worked on multiple projects where I boost someone's DR to 50+ within a month but that doesn't make all their pages to rank in top 10. TBH they can't even beat others with DR 30 with good reputation.
The way Google search works is it considers reputation as a huge factor. And that's not just the DR that you see in Ahrefs ( I consider Ahref's DR as a vanity metric). Google has 200 ranking factors and most important are domain backlinks (quality), page backlinks (quality), age, branded searches, user experience like load speed, average session time. But more than backlink volume backlink quality matters. If you have backlinks from NYT or WP it goes a long way. If you are interested to discuss more drop me an email.
Hey 👋 thank you for having a look: https://fiddy.co
You can create round up posts like,
where X can be any industry like travel, social media etc. Just make sure to keep this X at a super niche level so that you can rank for the keywords.

Thanks!!
You can include comparative analysis of top digital products in certain space. Like best courses on X where X can be crypto training, fitness etc. Best to stick to products that are also available in flurly and you can link back to them from your post.
Thanks for this!
I'd focus on topics related to the services. Here are some:

Yours is a very niche keyword. It also has search competition from Microsoft forms. If you have a very clear value prop differentiation from MS forms you must highlight that in your content. Here are some ideas:
