 First: Understand the 3 Types of Keywords.

Keywords come in many shapes and sizes.  Let’s use this article as an example.  The term, “SEO” is a keyword in and of itself.  No “sane” person would try to target that as a keyword, though.  A quick check of Google shows 948,000,000 uses of that keyword.

KeyPhrases are the next step.  These are normally 2-5 words long.  This article uses, “Keyword research and SEO” .  This takes the nearly 1 billion articles of competition and pares it down to a cool 7 million.  Still too competitive.

Finally you get to long-tail keywords.  A long-tail keyword is a longer phrase (4-8 words long usually) that is desirable to rank for.  The volume of searches for these keywords is greatly decreased, but the chance of ranking for them on page #1 of Google is greatly increased.  A good longtail for this article might be, ”Best Keyword Research practices for Helium Articles”.  That phrase knocks the competition down from a billion to 400,000 articles.  –Still too competitive in many ways, but getting a lot closer on a very competitive area.

I am just starting to get a handle on utilizing keywords so any advice is greatly appreciated!

 Certainly not using google's keyword tool and the way most teach keyword research is wrong.. There is a method to keywords and not just using some tool that claims X amount of searches a month.

 You must create content for your keywords and related words must go along with that content. Here is an article on what is SEQ.
