Forbes Living TV Relays Ways to Make Money from Hobbies



Your hobby could be the key to starting and succeeding at a second job. Forbes Living TV explains how you could make money from your hobby.

There are very few people who do not have something they like to do or make in their spare time.  Photography is a strong interest for lots of people, and some have gone the extra mile to learn more about the skills needed to take professional level images. Baking and crafting are two other hobbies some enjoy. The products and goods made can easily bring in extra cash. Someone we know is an expert baker and specializes in birthday and special occasion cakes. This little side business generates the extra income for her family to take extra special vacations.  People who love animals can advertise pet sitting or dog walking (or both) in their neighborhoods, or on websites that offer this kind of service such as DogVacay and CatVacay.


Forbes Living TV suggests exploring what you like to do outside of work. Hone the skills needed to master it, and then go advertise it.  Start small with friends and family. Ask them to refer you to other people. Set reasonable prices. And keep track of the money spent on the hobby and how much income is generated from it.  Making money from a hobby might just lead you to a new and more fulfilling job. Wouldn’t that be nice?
