Good day Tom. Gotta love hobbies that make money instead of just costing money.
I just wrote an article about making money online with a few of my hobbies. I still get a goosebumps sometimes thinking about how blessed I am to have hobbies that make money.
The main point I like to stress about attempting to make money online with a hobby or interest is to be sure it’s one that people spend money on.
I spend quite a bit of money each year on my fishing hobby, also on our gardening hobby so making money with those blogs was pretty easy.
Hello Tom,
If you are starting up your hobby as a business I think exposure is the key, combined with a good business plan. If you plan things they should go the right way, well most of the time.
If do decide to get your hobby business online and start promoting it I can recommend a good site to start off with: http://www.hobbything.com/ – which is a social hobby network.
You can use it to showcase your hobby by creating photo albums, posting stories and participating in the forum. All of which give you the marketing you need linking back to your site. And due to the fact that it is a hobby site those back links are really good for your own site and help you get better rankings in google searches. Plus you might get your first clients from there as well you never know.
These days everyone uses social networks to promote their business due to the fact that everyone uses one or another. So if you take your hobby on the next level and start your own business I think http://www.hobbything.com/ could be a great addition to you marketing plan.
Cheers
Dmitri
Freaking sweet…..Thanks alot.
It would be a dream to make money doing what you love. For most it will stay a dream, but you gotta have dreams right? I hope I can do it as well, but my favorite thing is something that is extremely hard to make money on. Meanwhile I make quite a lot doing paid surveys. It’s boring, but it’s nice to see those checks coming in my mailbox. Don’t get me wrong, I love the money, but I hate the work lol.
