Day 14: How to Choose Low-Competition Blog Topics That Actually Rank (2025 Guide)
Let’s face it: Every blogger wants traffic, but most are stuck in saturated topics where competition crushes visibility.
But here’s the truth — you don’t need high-volume keywords to rank and earn. What you need is a smart way to spot low-competition blog topics that your site can actually win.
Today, I’ll teach you exactly how to do that — step-by-step, with real tools, examples, and hacks. Let’s go!
✅ Why Low-Competition Topics Are Smart (Especially for Beginners)
- They’re easier to rank even on a new blog
- They target specific user problems, not broad topics
- You can build topical authority around them quickly
💡 Real Talk: You don’t need 10,000 monthly searches. A keyword with 100 targeted searches and zero competition is often more valuable.
🔍 Step-by-Step: How to Find Low-Competition Blog Topics
Step 1: Use Google Autosuggest (Free)
Start typing your niche keyword into Google and note what suggestions pop up. These are real searches from users. Example: Type "blogging for" and note suggestions like “blogging for beginners,” “blogging for students,” etc.
Step 2: Use AnswerThePublic
This tool visualizes real questions people ask on Google. You can find question-based keywords like “Can I blog anonymously in 2025?” or “Best blogging platforms for students.”
Step 3: Analyze Competition Using Ubersuggest or NeuronWriter
- Check for SEO Difficulty (SD). Pick topics with SD below 25 for faster ranking.
- Check existing results. If the top 10 pages are forums, Quora, Reddit, or old blog posts — it’s a green flag!
Step 4: Find Gaps on Reddit & Quora
Go to Reddit or Quora and search your niche. Find repeated unanswered questions — these are hidden gems. Example: “How to blog without showing your face” is a low-competition goldmine!
📌 Content Angle Tips: How to Make These Topics Rank
- Use numbers & dates in your titles. Example: “7 Blogging Niches with Low Competition in 2025”
- Add a clear benefit in the title. Example: “...That Earn Passive Income”
- Target underserved audiences — beginners, students, non-techies

💡 Final Verdict:
Don’t chase big keywords. Chase user intent and low-competition wins. That’s how smart bloggers grow fast in 2025. One blog post at a time.
You don’t need 100 blog posts. You need 10 blog posts that solve 10 real problems. That’s your shortcut to ranking — even if your blog is brand new.
