Answer 1

There are 2 ways to do this: Method 1:

There are certain plugins that you can use to accomplish the task. 
The below is an example:

Method 2:

You too can achieve this functionality by writing a piece of code that will insert the data in the posts table. for that you have to create a page template and create a form for that template and write code that will work on submit of the form.
Make sure the form data gets inserted into the posts table.
