High traffic with low competition is right. Because of a thing called market position.

If you're not in a top three for a subject in the mind of your prospect, you'll have a hard time. Why?

Because there is not a dearth of information, but a surplus of it.

There are often thousands of competitors and nobody has time sufficient to search the product space. So they go with what they know, unless it offended them in the recent past, or what's most popular, or what's first. ``From those who have not much, all will be taken, to those who have, more will be given . . . '' Feedback loop.

That means you have a problem even if you have a good product. Even if you've the best product. Nobody searches much of any space, they can't afford it. So the probability of covering your costs for a product, or doing better, with purely stochastic purchasing is very low, very low indeed. Most people will not see your solution to their problem, they just won't see it. You have the best potatoes, let's say, but nobody is aware you're selling potatoes, let alone they are the best.

Here on Steemit, you might want a tag in which your post will probably be at the top for at least several days, for example.

(Ah, another long comment. Will later make this a post.)
