[Beginners Guide] Keyword research. Find your niche for FREE

If you are thinking of starting in online marketing, there are so many guides that can make a headache for someone who is just beginning.

On top of that, many guides are incomplete, outdated, or even contain too many terms that newcomers can't even understand.

1st step before venturing into online marketing and starting an online business should always be deciding on a niche that you want to work in and finding the right one, to begin with.

The first thing that every newcomer should look at is evergreen niches.

Evergreen Niches are niches that are constantly in demand; people will never get tired of them.

Some of them are “make money online,” “health,” “dating,” “weight loss,” “astrology,” “religion,” “fitness,” “pets,” “parenting,” “finance,” “hobby” and many other.

There are hundreds of evergreen niches out there.

You can find lists by searching on Google for "evergreen niche list."

Pick one or two that you are already familiar with from that list.

But don't stop there.

People usually make a mistake by going directly for those niches that everyone is competing for.

I like to go a few steps deeper and find good sub-niches that have enough search volume per month but not too much competition, so it’s easier and faster to get traffic and make sales.

Additionally, I would look for those sub niches related to solving people’s problems.

More desperate people are for the solution.

Faster and easier will you make sales.

To effectively find a good niche, you need a tool for research.

Otherwise, you can end up searching on Google for countless hours and find nothing because you don't have a tool that will tell you is that what you are searching for and what you saw is actually any good or will you even be able to compete with others for the "slice of cake from Googles party."

Ok, you can spend hundreds of dollars per month on tools like Ahrefs or Semrush and similar to research and find many good niches.

But wait, you are just starting.
There must be a way to avoid all expenses before making any money online.

You can find many free keyword research tools like Ubersugest, Keyword Shitter, and many other free tools.

But most of them are limiting you with the data or the daily attempts you can use, leading you towards reaching for your wallet and your hard-earned money.

If you decide to go for them, you will end up on a road where you spend tons and make non, failing before you even started.

To avoid losing money and failing, you should focus on those free that is a bit harder to find that still allow you to do what you need to do "find a proper niche to make money from" without spending money before making some.

Do so without spending money and effectively do in-depth research on niches that you pick.

Find the best one with little to no competition and let you rank easily.

You should go to visit https://ahrefs.com/keyword-generator and do a search, it's completely free, and you can use it unlimited time per day.



You can do as many searches as you want per day.

Information that you will receive are keywords (niche, search term), KD (keyword difficulty), and Volume (how many searches per month).

The limitation is that you get KD only for the top 10, but you can open a new tab, copy keywords that interest you, and check them separately.

The higher the KD is, the more people compete for the keyword.
For example, let’s take the keyword “best hunting rifles.” It has a KD 19 of 100 and an excellent volume of 5.7K.

The next thing you should check is how many websites compete for this keyword on Google.

Type it in Google search, and first, you will see something like "About 725,000,000 results (0.45 seconds) "

Scroll down and click on page 10, then scroll down again and click on page 14, then again on page 15 and scroll down where you will see "To show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 150 already displayed."

That means that actually, 150 websites compete for this keyword.

That's not that bad.

But for an easier ranking, you should look for a keyword with 1000+ search volume per month that has KD below 10, and when checked on Google, less than 100 websites compete.

After a bit of research, you can find a keyword like "dove hunting vest" with KD 0, 800 volume searches per month, and 126 websites competing on google.

It's not the best one, but it can do.

When you find your keyword, you should look for affiliate offers for dove hunting gear, write a few articles about dove hunting vests to rank for the keyword, and make your first sales.
