is my niche too competitive or am i just doing it wrong?

Been there. Before abandoning the niche, I'd stop adding more content and links for a bit and figure out why competitors are winning, search intent, topical coverage, site structure, backlinks, or simply stronger authority. Sometimes one overlooked issue is holding everything back.
 
bro do a full content audit and prune the pages getting zero traffic before you blame the niche....
 
What you're going through is probably something a lot of people run into. I think this needs to be looked at as a combination of factors rather than just niche selection. Instead of relying on links alone, we can't ignore the impact your content and on-page SEO have on rankings too. I'd suggest checking these fundamentals one by one first — the issue usually isn't in just one place, it's often a mix of a few small gaps.
 
I think you shouldn't give up just yet. Try shifting your mindset from "Posting a lot of content" to "Strategic distribution"—it might be more effective.
 
You may not know if the niche is too competitive yet. Compare your top competitors’ content, search intent, site structure, backlinks, and authority. Find gaps and improve before changing niches.
