My site is in a fairly competitive niche and I'm having trouble finding keywords that I can actually rank for.

My regular strategy is to check forums in my niche to find ideas, but no matter what kw I search for the top results in Google are always filled with competitor websites. Soon I plan on using Ahrefs 7 day trial to check for keywords that my competition is ranking for, but I was hoping to find some kw's that not everyone and their mom are already writing about

Any tips to find low competition keywords that I can actually rank for with a new site?

This question has been answered a bazillion times before, you should have asked 'how do i use the search operator' instead.

Ahrefs is great for checking the competition, but their KD score is awful.

I've done a couple of threads about this, here's one. https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/keyword-difficulties.1229535/

Check out This guide by @seocrab . It should help you find some low competition keywords.
I would also recommend you use ubersuggest as it could suggest you some good keywords in your niche.

Instead of looking for low competition keywords, I suggest you start searching for low-competition niches.

Thanks for the help everyone, I'll start reading through all the articles later tonight when I'm done writing for the day.

And yes I know how to properly search the forum (site:blackhatworld.com ____). I just figured I would create a thread to see if someone would post something I haven't already seen.

And I have another site in a lower competition niche, but I find myself enjoying the writing process for the more competitive niche far more.
