Indie Label - Good Business or a Fantastic Hobby?

Can there be a viable business model to being "just a label"? Is it possible to have a meaningful income on recorded music and keep people employed all the while the artist doesn't feel exploited? Or is the only option to have a hybrid business model with record label activities and projects playing a (potentially minor) role? How to form partnerships that will motivate both the artist and industry personnel to keep going and thrive together?
