Well written article, but my first response was a bit sceptical because obviously initially you're shrinking your potential market.

However on second thought I do see the possibilities. Take the example of hairdressers or barber shops - at first sight that's not hugely attractive because they tend to have a small budget for developing a website.

But, if you can set up a web site for one barber shop and then reuse that structure for other barber shops (only changing the styling for each new customer) then you might have a winning and potentially lucrative strategy, because you can offer a website for a low price and still make a profit (because the work for every new site would be minimal).

This assumes however that most "barber shop websites" are structured in a similar way - if it turns out that they're all completely different then the strategy wouldn't work.

So I'd say that this 'niche idea' should start with thorough research.

(a drawback might be that you end up doing the same thing over and over again - for many people that might become boring ... money is just one factor)
