These are general key points to keep in mind when choosing your site concept:

2. Theme: When creating a blog your theme concept should not be too broad of a choice. If it has high supply it will be difficult to win over the competition. In which return will be hard for you to reach high rankings in search engine. It will not be worth your time. If you don't want to give up your theme try to find a sub-niche of the site concept to see if you find an ideal theme. Example, if your theme is about cars you know the theme is too broad. How about if you find a sub-niche of how to complete your own oil change or how to fix your car. These might be easier niches to win over and rank high in search engines.

5. Time: Be sure to pick a theme based on your available time to work on your site. Do not pick high demand niches if your availability time is 2 hours per day. Creating a blog is very time consuming. Pick your theme based on the time you will be able to provide in return.
When creating a blog you will need to have high potential keywords. Once you determine the site concept you will like to write about you'll need to do a bit of preliminary research. By using Google Key Word Tool or Word Tracker. These two site will help you do research on your related site concept. When searching your site concept you want to look for keywords that have at least 10,000 searches a month. This will be categorized as Demand. The demand of the keyword should be greater than 10,000. Secondly, the Supply (Your competition) should be fewer than 100,000. By following these criteria you will find a great niche. The site concept is the most important part of creating your blog.
