Finding keywords for blog posts

[SPMurphy]

I have a bunch of blog posts on my topic but I'm a little confused about the best way to identify the best key words for ranking on Google before I plough ahead and start writing.

I have gone to 'wordstream', 'ubersuggest' etc. and it appears that my keywords have 0 (or very low) volume. I know that targeting low volume key words *can* be a good idea, but I am wondering whether I need to find higher volume words.

My blog is in the parenting and education niche. I feel its a great blog niche and will get a lot of healthy traffic but the keywords that I have come up with after planning the blog posts don't reflect that.

Should I go with the low volume key words because I know for sure that the posts are relevant and will be valuable and engaging, or have I got it all wrong?

I'm a little stuck and have been going round and round about it, which is why I decided to come here and get a proper education!

Thanks in advance for any help.

Go for low competition keywords and up from there. I like to build my sites like a pyramid, imagine the low competition keywords as the bottom and the high ones as the top. You build a pyramid step by step.

Bro, I advise you to upload your blog to google search console. This will allow you to see what keywords your blog is ranking for. Next, you will need to buy links with keyword anchors.

Wise words -- I've never thought of it like a pyramid. Good to know that going for low volume initially might be a good move. Thanks.

Great advice -- but I don't have the full blog. . . yet! I am building the first 30 posts before launching.

Long-tail & low-volume keywords are the best option (just my opinion).

Focus on keywords that are closely related to your parenting and education niche and try long-tail keywords.

First target low competition keyword and when you rank for them, go for higher ones.

General topics on parenting niche will not work good. You need to cover less saturated topics in youur own unique style.

Start from LOW competition and long tail keywords

Absolutely my thinking. I was just concerned that the low search volume associated with some of the main concepts meant that no-one was looking for them. . . I'm now understanding that the low search volume might be an advantage!

Understood but my site will not be about parenting in general. . .
