Use keyword in appropriate place of your blog/website:

KEYWORD USAGE IN THE TITLE TAG
USING YOUR KEYWORD IN YOUR DOMAIN NAME
USING YOUR KEYWORDS IN YOUR <H1> TAG
USING YOUR KEYWORDS AS ANCHOR TEXT WHEN LINKING INTERNALLY
USING ANCHOR TEXT WHEN BUILDING BACKLINKS
KEYWORD USE IN THE FIRST 50-100 WORDS IN THE HTML OF THE PAGE

Agree! after deciding keywords, it is also important to maintain proper keyword density ratio in blogs, articles and even in the content of website.

Really a very helpful information.We can also get idea about keywords from competitors websites.Also you can share your website with your family members and friends and ask them as what keywords they think to search your website.After well keyword research just place your target keywords in your website.

Seems like you are on the right path!

Just to add a bit here:

In order to make a list of keywords and to know the search volume of selected keywords,
you can use many web based tools such as Google keyword tool (its free of cost)
