You'll almost always be outranked in search engines by sites that artificially build links unless you are a huge business. On a rare occasion (hitting the lottery) people pick the right niche + keywords or build the right online personality that resonates with readers, naturally building a following and link profile without doing artificial SEO. Most often, content for these sites have to be updated regularly. Popular youtube channels are often putting out several episodes a week and will lose subscribers if they stop, for example. Besides that you can buy traffic. I would never create a website unless I knew what keywords I was hitting and had a specific marketing plan in place. I focus on SEO and not PPC but some people are all about PPC etc. Good Luck
