Everyone has a hobby or two that they enjoy in their free time. These are the things we love doing even when at work or in between work. While hobbies can be fun and fulfilling, some can be turned into money making activities when taken seriously. But don’t get your hopes up just yet! Not all hobbies may have the potential to be turned into income-generating activities. Nonetheless, it may depend on your interests, talents, and how much time you’re willing to spend on the hobby.
In this era of e-commerce, most people are using the internet as a platform to market products of activities they do in their free time. At the end of the day, hobbies get turned into full-fledged businesses. If posting pictures and videos online is your thing, why not turn it into an income generator? If your hobby is taking up woodworking projects, there are many options of products you can make and sell them via a website, your social media platforms or through e-commerce platforms such as Amazon and eBay. This way you can make money on the side while doing what you love.
With that in mind, below are tips on how to make money from a serious hobby.

If you have a thing for writing, then consider yourself a destiny changer! Most people are deriving their inspiration and motivation from materials written by others. You can make an impact on society by carefully choosing a genre you’re interested in and working to perfect your skills in the art of writing as well as your expertise in various subjects. But let’s talk about making some money from off your writing skills. As a hobby, not so many may fathom writing as an income-generating hobby, but here’s how:
- For individuals who like traveling, you can become a travel writer and sell your content to travel blogs, magazines or other publications.
- You may as well consider an online writing career
