🕊️ SpiritualityA premium live membership: Spirituality for people who want results, not another feed
The category of Spirituality shows significant interest, particularly in the top search term "meditation course," which has 300 US monthly searches and 1600 worldwide. Despite the decline of 28.4% in year-on-year searches, the overall combined monthly searches across tracked terms in this category total 600. With 21 communities indexed, only 11 publish a monthly price, and 5 of those are free or under $25 a month, indicating that anyone who states a price plainly is already unusual. Your format of live sessions and video aligns well with the existing interest, and you can invite a founding cohort of 10–20 members by hand, dedicating 15 or more hours per week to this endeavor.

600 searches a month across these terms. Ranking difficulty 24/100, unusually soft for a topic this size. Search volume measures interest in the subject, not willingness to pay for a community about it. Treat it as the size of the room, not the size of the business.
The gap: Pricing here is mostly unpublished: 11 of 21 Spirituality communities show a monthly price, and 5 of those 11 are free or under $25 a month. Anyone who states a price plainly is already unusual.
