How to find profitable keywords for Blogging?

Try to lean into the long tail terms that signal something specific, like a buyer in motion, or at least a real issue to solve. Use Google Search , Google Keyword Planner , or Ahrefs to dig up phrases with enough monthly interest and easier competition. In general focus on stuff that will naturally connect to affiliate tools, products, or services, since those tend to pay more than purely informational posts that just explain things.

My first step would be to target keywords such as bes review vs or discount because they have buying intention and then see the CPC for those keywords along with the monetization of the top ranking websites. Long tail keyword that I could finds from autocomplete or forums would also be considered.
