Turn Your Hobbie Into Extra Income
Turn Your Hobbie Into Extra Income Before You Think
Career
Many people get a big idea that they love to do something alot,
so they are going to try to make a go of it as a career move.
Then, they sink their life savings into it, exhaust all their
savings, and then the buisness goes under leaving them with
nothing. So why not just (if this is at all possible), go at it
a little at a time? For example, I love woodworking. So my goal
was to just start with a simple website on porch swings. You can
see it is still up and running at
http://porch-swings.blogspot.com/. But it didn't end their. I
got everything together, put up another site using Search Engine
Optimization techniques, and then went to building outdoor patio
furniture. This site is up and running at
http://outdoorpatiofurniture.info. Next, it was Ebay, then
Amazon. So what can you do? Well, first of all, I would truly
keep my dayjob until the buisness is in full swing AND gaining
momentum. Get to the point where you cannot at all, absolutely
without a doubt, handle both. But before you can get to that
point, you have to do alot of research. I mean tons. Like my
site http://porch-swings.blogspot.com/, it didn't start off
well. The need was there to make changes in order to cause the
public to trust my product. So I had to experiment. Change the
site up a little at a time until I get more orders. Now, what I
liked about ebay was you can actually go in and see what Items
are selling or not. But you have to be an ebay member before you
can do this. Amazon does not give you this advantage, but you
can still see what items they have and show some competition.
Most of all, what I think is best is find out what keywords are
used on the internet the most. The keyword tool I think is best
is located at keywordburner.com. It is 49 bucks a month, but
just use it for one month, and get rid of it once you find out
what keyword best fits your hobby and is searched for alot.
Believe me, if it is searched for alot on the internet, it is
undoubtedly searched for alot period. Anyway that is what I
have done, and I hope it works for you. Hope you at least can
use it for some extra income, if not what you do for a living.
