Money Making Hobbies
Which ones can be money making hobbies? A friend made a
life-sized cow out of plywood once. He painted it, put it in the
yard, and people started asing if he would sell it. He soon had
a waiting list of customers for his plywood cows. With a profit
of about fifty dollars each, he wasn't getting rich, but isn't
making money with your hobby more fun than a job?
Money Making Hobbies - Two Approaches
The first approach is obvious: Look for ways to make money with
your existing hobby or hobbies. What do you produce that other
people might want? Do you collect dolls? You might produce a
newsletter for other doll collectors, or buy and sell doll
furniture.
The second approach is to think of all the hobbies you might
take up that can generate a second income for you. When I found
that I really enjoyed making walking sticks as a hobby, I sold
more than a thousand dollars worth one summer. There are
probably things you would enjoy doing that can make some money.
Get creative in your thinking. Look at the list of activities or
hobbies below, and see if you can think of a way they can be
used to make money. Do you like to travel? You might become a
tour guide, or write articles for magazines.

How To Make Money With ANY Hobby
In the past, you could argue that not all hobbies can be money
making hobbies. This is no longer true. If you go to my sites,
you'll notice the ads. I just copy and paste some code (no
selling involved), and make a little bit everytime you click on
one. In a matter of days, with almost no money, you can have a
website up where you write about your favorite hobby, and
collect for the advertising clicks.
