Competition is not necessarily a bad thing. It's just a matter of finding niches within the industries you're targeting. Lots of people sell shoes, but clogging shoes is a niche I've been able to tap into without tons of "online competition". Let me know if you have additional questions and thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the video. It was very informative. Should you not be concerned that there seems to be lots of people advertising the same thing you are or is competition good in this case.

You should be able to copy and paste some of the info.

As far as the competition, go to Google, type in allintitle:”the keyword phrase that you’ve done demand research on” and then hit enter. You’ll get results based on all the websites Google finds that have that EXACT PHRASE in the title of their page (the title is what you click on in Google to go to the specific page). The reason this is helpful to narrow down competition is because this is how you find who you’ll be competing with directly to get to the top of search engine results for that phrase.

The ratio is Demand divided by Competition and then put in to a percent. This is used mainly to “sort” all the phrases and to see which ones are the “best” based on Demand and Competition results. Just because a keyword phrase has super high demand doesn’t mean it will be the best to focus on initially.

Hope this clarifies a bit more.

Thanks for the comment and questions!
