Step #1 Learn how to do keyword research and then identify buckets of keywords, e.g. buyer intent, informational, these are always the two buckets for me. Trust me, if you can find the right keywords then you will rank in time - you will have to work on this and learn it but all the information is available on the forum because that's how I learned to do it.
I only look for a few things when picking a keyword:
1. user generated content on the first page of google (reddit, quora, forums) OR other weak affiliate type websites.
2. what kind of websites are ranking on the first page? (if MAJORITY e-commerce then you need an e-commerce site, if review then you need a review site) : this ties into search intent.
3. Drop anything with huge authority sites on the first page since they will be pretty tough to beat for now, at least not for a few years until you get your site up and running and establish some authority.
Step #2 is writing content. Simple, look at what is ranking on the first page to identify search intent. You just have to put yourself in the shoes of the person typing the query and understand what would they want to see in an article related to the query. Then go ahead and craft an article that is better than everything else on the first page. better = more informative and usually longer.
Step #3 Setting up a Website (WordPress is pretty easy, just look up stuff on youtube or buy a udemy course for $10) and On-Page SEO (Really not that hard 100's of guides on it right here on BHW, all of them work fine)
