I look at small websites that are already ranking. If they can rank, I know the niche is not too competitive.

Start by looking at the problems which are asked by people mostly. Then check that if those topics have enough search volume and low competition before choosing a niche and also make sure you have some knowledge about the topic so that you can write the useful content.

I like using Reddit and Quora to see what questions people ask often. Those questions can become good low-competition blog topics.

You can check Google trends for that, or put any AI LLM do the research for you.

You should chose a niche who is not conquered by big sites with big pillars or media news press sites. Create a new category in your niche market and be the niche !

A simple way to start is by looking at what people are already asking. Check Google Autocomplete, the People Also Ask section, Reddit, and Quora for common questions. Once you find a few ideas, use a tool like Ahrefs, Semrush, or Google Keyword Planner to see if they're worth targeting. I usually look for specific, long-tail keywords with lower competition and clear search intent.

One method that has worked well for me in the past is by taking a broad topic nd looking at sub topics beffore jumping into searching for keywords. when i see a lot of unanswered questions or articles that r very similar ranking high up i take this as an indication that there might be room for impprovement in this niche.

I start with Google Autocomplete and People Also Ask then check the keywords in a free SEO tool. If the results are mostly small blogs or forums it's usually a good low-competition niche.

Start with Google Autocomplete + Reddit threads, super easy for newbies to spot low-competition informational niches.
y do not u try to look at the trends rather than depending upon the keyword volumes only? u may find that a niche looks like it has a great future but actually there is very little demand for it. google trends will help u in figguring this out nd u will also get to know about the keywords which are ranking.

Why not be a category King - create a new market in a niche?
