How do I FInd Longtail Keywords

You can use KWfinder & Ubersuggest, Also for the paid option, you can use SEMrush.

I’ll get to the answer, but a quick fact-check for now-

The definition of long tail keywords had seen a number of evolutions over the years. Back then when there were no rankbrain and google was solely dependent on ‘keyword frequency’ as a core ranking factor, tons of 4-8 words keywords might have come up with almost no SERP competition. Tools like LongTailPro(the software version, not web tool) were just one big mine of long tail keywords. Those days...

Eventually, search bot(or engine) now understands search intents, and shows results accurately. Given the situation, finding long-tail keywords, or I shall say, narrowed down topics that are worth writing articles for, are quite hard to find.

If you’re in a rush, go for tools like answerthepublic and search with the ‘Root term’. It’ll bring you up tons of long tails keywords in the forms of ‘Questions’, which might be in use. Also, similar approach might work on Ahrefs or Google Adwords as well, but the number of suggestions is way too low for these kinda tools(no offense).

The method that I personally use to mine out untapped long tail topics(kw) that would rank me fast with a promise of organic traffic goes as-

• Scratch the topic, go in-depth of it and group it up into a few micro-topics.
• Take notes on ‘key terms’ or ‘root terms’ for each of the topics.
• Categorize them according to intents(knowledge-seeking, troubleshooting, buying intents, etc).
• Go for Google suggestions and play a little with the advanced search strings with the key terms that we’ve found before.
• Note them up, check for the MSV(optional), and check the competition in person(don’t be KD-biased).
• Viola...you might have got a few long-tail keywords to craft your contents on.

Google Suggest or Different Keyword Research Tools

I think these sites three companies are good for long tail keywords. Shreds, semrush and longtailpro. I would also test to find your best

You can try answermatty.com it's similar to answer the public, it has much more results, and it's free at the moment. I made it too.

If you need free trail then use AHREFS.

I personally use Google suggest. Just type main keyword then you ll see keyword suggestion from Google. We basically called it autocomplete. You can also consider related keyword in the bottom, make them as main keyword or LSI are also good.
2nd way is by using Longtail pro. I personally think it is more accurate. There some filters to choose but It is premium

If you have SEMrush then I guess then why looking for cheap option because most of the Free tools don't exactly provide accuracy compared to Paid tools like Ahrefs and SEMrush

Ahrefs is great working and they have 7 day free trial

You may check out Ahrefs trial for just $7

I have used a lot of KW tools, however today I can say that there's one that will really help you find those long-tail hidden gems. It is KWfinder

They have a great functionality to not only look for terms but they also make nice suggestions for questions in the browser, and you can sort for KWdiffculty to aim those keywords with high volume and low competition easily.

There are many free tools available..try googling it..you will get plenty of options

Good luck on your journey.

I’ve read the first set of comments, and that is all about you using something else instead of WordPress. But putting the whole subject aside, i think there are some loopholes in the plan. These are nothing but my constructive criticism-

1. For 2.88 bucks and from Namecheap- already sounds like a lethal combo. Firstly, getting the domain from them is fine. But as your site grows up, Namecheap is just not the best hosting out there to keep up with a load of traffic. I’ve been an ex-user and the experience was terrible.
2. With 100 posts, you’re targeting 10 visitors/day. I appreciate keeping the expectations low. But that’s nowhere near around the ROI you should look for. With a freshly bought domain and 20-25 highly researched(and optimized) blogposts, you can easily aim your gun to shoot 100-300 organic visitors a day. No link building needed.
3. Consider exploring options among different affiliate programs. Amazon is a good starter as long as your site is taking baby steps. Eventually, when you’ll hit the 10k traffic/month benchmark, go for more affiliate programs such as ClickBank, ShareASale, Viglink etc.

I appreciate it a lot as you’ve said you’re looking forward to learn from the mistakes you’d make to this trajectory. As it’s more of a hobby stuff to you, i guess you can do just better than any other niche-based blogs where the owners are not usually up to the niches they’re working on.

Good luck!

There are also websites that extract competitor longtail keywords cant remember the name now but that is also a good way to get ideas. Look at competitor websites and change the wording a bit and outshine them with your content.

Ahrefs

If you're looking for HOT low competition words and phrases, use a word scraper on your niche's top blogs

Cross reference with google searches and Keyword planner tool and other KW tools

Ubersuggest is free and is great to find long-tail keywords.
