Did you know that if you have a real passion for something, you can make money from it? Even if it is just a hobby, there are ways that you can make a little or a lot of cash by sharing your activity and your enthusiasm with others.
The easiest way is by setting up a blog where you can write about what you do and how you do it.
You can set up a blog for free by using sites like Blogger.com or Wordpress.com.
If you have some money to spare, you might like to upgrade to a paid site where you will have 100% control over the way it looks and how it functions.
It isn't necessary but if your free site is successful, you will want to consider moving to a paid platform in the future.
Here are three ways that you can profit from your hobby. You can decide to use one, two or all three ideas.
#1 – Write About Your Hobby
Whatever it is that you like to do, write about it.
Write about how it feels to take part in this particular hobby, about the equipment that you use. Write about the cost involved and whether there is a steep or very easy learning curve.
If your hobby involves making something then share photos of your results.
If you are a keen cake maker, for example, take picture of the cakes you have made. Share photos of people enjoying your cakes.
Provide details of the ingredients used so that others can try your recipes.
If you like to knit, then write about the type of things you like to make and the type of wool and needles you use.
There are lots of people around the world who share your passion for your hobby and there are also lots of people who are looking to pick up tips and skills.
Share your journey and people will respond with comments, questions and compliments.
Two simple ways to make money from your hobby is to become an affiliate for an online store like Amazon.
You can add products to your website and when ever someone clicks on the Amazon link and then buys something, you earn a commission.
Just add products that you use in your hobby. As a cake maker, you can link to cake tins, ingredients, cookbooks, and other kitchenware.
As a knitter, you can link to needles, wool, knitting patterns and books.
#2 – Sell The Results of Your Hobby
A great way to make money from your hobby is to sell the product that you have made.
If you are a cake maker, you can sell cakes to people in your area.
With a web presence, you can share the link with your Facebook friends and you can get referrals through word of mouth.
If you make clothes or jewellery, you can add a sales page to your blog and people can order directly from you.
As a home-made item, you could even charge a premium price.
#3 – Sell a Tutorial about Your Hobby
Another way to make money from your hobby is by providing people with a tutorial. You can write an ebook or user manual.
You can make videos if this is the best way to show people how to do something. The price that you set will all depend on how much you think your knowledge is worth.
In the beginning you might not know what a good rate is but do a little research and you will be able to work out a price that you are happy with.
You can lower or raise the amount whenever you wish.

Some might take you longer than others to see that cash in your account, but it’s well worth pursuing your options if you need some extra cash on the side

"You are a life Saver!!
I recently discovered this site and I can tell you that my life has not been the same. I now come here EVERYDAY and spend at least 1 hour.
I used to spend that time browsing online fashion and beauty
magazine which just means that I spend more. Now I have replaced that
habit with coming here.
In future I will think about contributing articles as well. Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!! and God bless"
