So here's a short way to find a niche:
Create a list of 6-15 things you're interested in are have experience with.
If you're an accountant, write down accounting. If you're a mother, write down parenting. If you fly RC planes, write down radio controlled hobbies. If you took a Korean cooking class in the past and enjoyed it, write that down too.
Once you have that list, it's time to narrow down your choices. For each topic, ask the question, "Is money being spent in this industry, and if so, what can I sell/promote?"

Yes, it is very important to pick a niche you are interested in. So many people try to jump on the bandwagon of a niche that is supposed to be popular but they know nothing about. If it is popular it will be that much more competitive and you will get burned out trying to learn about something and write about something that you have no interest in. Your site will also feel less authentic if you pick a niche you don't care about.
It is easier, more enjoyable and more authentic to pick a niche you either know a lot about already and/or you are really interested in and want to learn about. If you are offering information to people in a field you care about that will make you a respected authority rather than someone just trying to sell something.
