So, how do you begin?

First of all, make a list of products you are trying to sell. Let’s say you want to sell a coffee maker. Enter this keyword as your primary keywords

Just omit keywords that have maximum and minimum search volume. Maximum search volume means there is too much competition and minimum search volume means there is no interest in that search term.
