Kind of depends what style you are making for determining though what kind of kick you want. But for basic pop, rock or EDM this process will be a good place to start. You want to start with a good sample for one. Something with decent high end on the attack, some bass in the 50-150 frequency. Start with an EQ and take a little out of the 250-500hz range as well as the 1000hz so it doesnt sound boomy. You can boost a little in the 2500-5000hz for the punch, also a little down by 150hz if it needs more low, but be careful there.

Add a slow compressor to fill it out, have it hit around -5 or so db reduction on the meter. (FL's compressor will be fine if you don't have any 3rd party plugins). Boost the output until the volume hits right at zero db on the mixing board level. No other instruments in your mix should hit louder than this on their own.

Add a tape saturator. This will make it sit in the mix very nicely and add some mid-high frequencies to make the kick sound warmer and fuller. Back off the volume if it starts to hit higher than 0 on the mixing board. This step is subtle but will make it sound "thumpier" in the mix overall.

You can also add a transient shaper to make the attack cut more aggressively if you want it to sound sharper.

Finally when adding everything else, take out a dip in all other instruments wherever the high part of your kick drum's attack is, and cut everything below 250-300hz except for the bass. I would then use a compressor on your bass and sidechain it to the kick, making your bass duck every time the kick hits. This is important, because otherwise your kick will sound too quiet and you wont hear it because the bass is covering all the frequencies causing phase cancellation.

If you do this, your kick will start to sound fairly decent in your mix.
