So it's not just finding something you know about or are passionate about. You also have to do your keyword and competitive research and try to determine if the niche is viable before jumping in.

Well said, I think this is probably one of the most common areas of mistake when newbies start out, and there's just not a proper competitive analysis done.
If this is done, most often than not, one is going to discover rapidly whether or not a niche is worthy of your time.
The advantage to this type of research at the outset of ones efforts in a given niche, is that it could expose hidden areas that your customers are already aware of and using as search terms in their queries regarding this niche. This will show you areas that maybe some of your competitors are NOT promoting in.
These are little chucks of heaven on which to stake a claim and rake in the coin for doing so. This is a sure fire method to seeing what works, and what doesn't while measuring against what people are actually looking for out there.
