It Can Be Done - Earning From Your Hobbies
by Dana Cain
You may be wondering if it is indeed possible for you to turn your hobbies into a full-time source of income. It doesn't matter if it's sports, crafts, or even trading merchandise - it's more than possible to earn a living with your hobbies - it's the major source of income for millions of people all over the world!
Sometimes what seems like a career actually begins as a hobby for someone. For example, there are a lot of husband-and-wife home repair tandems who have gotten rich by investing in property, renovating the homes, then selling them for a handsome profit.
The hobby you choose to make money from needs to be something that gives you personal satisfaction. You may not enjoy home repairs like your neighbor. Maybe you have a passion for taking everyday things and making an extraordinary piece of art from them.
Doesn't that sound good - making a good profit from something that gives you a source of enjoyment and stress relief? That's not something you'd get from your usual working stiff. And if you look at recent surveys, these 9 to 5 workers would rather trade in their suit-and-tie job for something that relaxes and rewards them more.
You don't need a PhD or a college degree, for that matter, to achieve a good profit from your hobbies. Your expertise is simply the time you've invested learning your craft.
Next, you have to treat your hobby as a business if you wish to start earning from it. Money doesn't grow on trees, and people don't randomly walk up to you and hand you several hundred dollar bills.
One way you can make money from your hobby is to simply sell the work that you do, if it's applicable to what your hobby is. If you make jewelry, then you can create a website where you sell it on the 'net. And if you're a writer, you can write other people's school projects or business documents as a ghostwriter.
Since you need expertise to earn from your hobby, you can impart this expertise on others as a lecturer. You see, if you're interested in something as a relaxing, enjoyable pastime, then chances are there are thousands, if not millions, of other people who have the exact same interests as you do - and are willing to pay for more information!
Think back to when you first started dabbling in your hobby. Was it something you researched on the Internet, or something you studied on in the library? It may be knitting or it may be golfing, but there are people willing to pay for added information that could lead to added enjoyment, and you can be the source of knowledge that they have long been looking for!
