Q2 : What is MyBlogU?

@MyBlogU is the free platform that lets you collaborate on content to create more indepth articles & get cited

You start with brainstorm asking members to help you find an original angle #myblogu

You can also open an expert interview project collecting some quotes on a topic #myblogu

You can upload your draft and ask members to provide feedback to make it better #myblogu

Here’s how @MyBlogU has made me more productive.
