I know several folks with niche business that pay various levels of their bills.
Software for youth sports, photography, asset tracking, vendor tracking, niche issues in CC Processing, facets of insurance and billing (coding).
Niche businesses happen all over the place, and finding one (for me) was a lot of trial and error, that niche business pays my "bills" and I do consulting work (sporadic, interesting and high value) to round it out (and keep me on my game).
Dont think of it as a business right away. You're going to "play", you want to build them quickly, you want to host them cheaply, you want to toy with selling them. Your managing disappointment and failure, your learning lessons and keeping it FUN. The moment you start dreaming that it's going to "make it big" is the moment you have to reel yourself back to reality. If you can say "what did I learn" and have a list of things you got from it then it was a success. At some point you just find one that clicks and it grows.
