Hard to rank difficulty level 25 - 35 keywords for brand new blog?

For the brand new blog, Is it hard to rank keywords using difficulty level 25 - 35 keywords?
-

It is not the keyword collection that matters and it is not the publishing platform that matters.
What matters is...
- * the knowledge and writing skill of the author
** the reputation of the author
** the substativeness, comprehensiveness, usefullness, or entertainiment value of the content
** and, the level of importance that this "blog" holds in the author's mind
If I started a new website, and gave to it the four things that matter above, I think that it would take a few years to get it producing traffic at a level that would provide a good return for my time. I am better off expanding and improving another website that I have been working on for a long time, which already has traffic and a tribe.

Depends on how important Google thinks your site and blog are, what the PageRank of those feeds are (not that you'll be able to get that information). Some content feeds exist on news sites and some posts gain thousands of keyword rankings, even for very competitive terms. It's usually because the content becomes popular and generates online buzz
If you don't have anything particularly unique, exciting and newsworthy to share - you can even struggle to rank (on page / scroll 1) for keywords with as little as 50 monthly searches
To be honest, it's getting harder and harder for blog posts to rank, as people create more in-depth, more adventurous content pieces like this one:
https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ferrari+v12+story (the search)
https://jbrcapital.com/ferrari-finance/v12-ferraris-the-engine-that-made-ferrari/ (the content)
I picked up on this one a while ago as (at least temporarily) it was holding numerous Ferrari related search rankings
When people are creating stuff like this, 500 words of 'just some text' isn't very inspiring anymore (unless it's critically newsworthy or from a very inspiring person / source)

Rankings-- Red & Green
Question - you can see the green positive and the red negative. If I optimize a certain keyword, and it turns red - how long should I wait before I optimize it again? The same with green - I had a keyword ranking up 20 points...which of course is good...should just wait for a a few months or use the keyword again next month? Not use how I should address the ups and downs (green & red) of rankings. thank you..

Which keyword for title
I'm trying to figure out what to use for my title text. It's for a structural steel fabrication company. Adwords has the average monthly searches for "structural steel" and "steel fabrication" identical at 5,400. It has "structural steel fabrication" at 390 which I get that since its longer and a little more specific will have less searches. My question is if I make the title "structural steel fabrication" does google just see it as 1 big keyword or will it rank for "structural steel" and/or "steel fabrication"? What would any of you go with here? All 3 keyword strings make sense for the person seeing the title. Thanks for any advice you can give, Clay

Invisible Long Tail Keywords
I've been doing some research on SEOmoz and have seen some posts relating to invisible long tail keywords. I have a couple of questions relating to this: Am I correct to understand that an invisible long tail keyword won't show any search in a tool like the Google Keyword Tool? If not, how do you define it? If an invisible long tail keyword has almost no search (or search that can be proven by an SEO researcher), how can you be confident that it will produce results?
