It’s not the only way to do it.
It’s the basic steps to get you headed in the right direction.
Hopefully you some inspiration away from it.

You can create a blog about anything.
But if your goal is to monetize it through organic search traffic,
You need to research the niche & it’s related keywords first.

It’s $99/month for the lite version but you can get a free 7-day trial.
Main tool is the “Keyword Explorer”
Type your niche keyword phrase in & search.
This is the basic information you will receive:

Keyword difficulty = basically how hard it is to reach the first page of Google results
In this case, 68 isn’t a great score.
However, I’m relying on other factors that I believe will mitigate this.
Volume = avg number of monthly searches using this keyword phrase

Clicks = avg number of monthly clicks on search results when people search for this keyword
Global volume = avg number of monthly searches across the globe for this keyword

This provides keyword ideas related to your keyword phrase.
Here you see these results.
While the main keyword has a high “keyword difficulty”,
It has high volume & the CPC (cost-per-click) is $4.50, both positives.

Also,
While my main keyword phrase is the top result,
One to potentially take advantage of is #5.
This is a “long-tail keyword” (more specific version of my main keyword phrase)
Keyword difficulty is lower & it still generates 2k clicks per month.

You maybe asking why “long-tail keywords” are important.
The more specific, the less searches
BUT usually more conversions.
Because it’s more specific.
The same reason people suggest focusing on a niche or a sub-niche.

Here’s an example:
Search for “supplements for men”
Google suggests adding “over 40” and “over 50”
Less searches but more conversions because of the specificity.

There’s much more to it than this.
Do your research.
Plenty of free videos on YouTube that dive into the same topic.

It’s time to create your blog.
I prefer using SiteGround for hosting.
It just works well.
If you want to use it, use my affiliate link (it’s always appreciated!)

Signup for SiteGround.
Search for your domain name.
Try to find one that also fits well within your keyword phrase.
This can be difficult.
So try different long tail keywords that were suggested by the keyword explorer.
