It is interesting how the little activities we call hobbies can actually fetch some cool side and even major income. Let me cite an example: if you are someone who enjoys writing, you might just see it as one of the little activities you enjoy doing, but the reality is, there are a million ways you can actually earn from your write-ups. You can join communities that will help publish your articles or posts, or if you’re someone who likes to run solo, you can decide to blog and then monetize the blog such that ads are shown on the pages of your blog or website. Some ways to start this, even if you have zero capital, are listed below;
1. First, get a blog: with this first step, you can use Blogger. Blogger is a domain and hosting site that gives free domains and hosts your blog or site on the internet. Look it up and start there
2. Next is to write valuable and quality content. Most people don’t understand what this is and how this works. By quality and valuable content, we mean content that is from your perspective, void of AI, and also content your readers can relate to and understand, and appreciate.
Another example would be a photographer. To the ordinary person, they take pictures just for the fun of it or because they enjoy doing it. But in this day and age, it would be advisable to have more than one source of income. Being paid 12 times a year is simply not enough. So with such a person, they can engage in the following activities:
1. Sell Prints
Create an online store to sell your prints through platforms like Etsy, Redbubble, or your own website.
Market your services for family portraits, headshots, or engagement sessions. Use social media to showcase your work.
Capture events like weddings, parties, and corporate functions. Build a portfolio and network to gain clients.
Upload your photos to stock photography websites like Shutterstock or Adobe Stock. You'll earn a commission whenever someone downloads your images.
Host workshops or classes to teach others about photography techniques. This can be done in person or online
6. Create a Photography Blog
Share tips, tutorials, and your experiences. Monetize through affiliate marketing or sponsored posts.
Below are also some hobbies you can monetize:
1. Traveling: Start a travel blog or vlog, and monetize through affiliate marketing or sponsorships.
2. Teaching: Offer tutoring in subjects you excel in, either online or in-person.
3. Collecting: Buy and sell collectibles, antiques, or vintage items.
4. Gaming: Stream gameplay on platforms like Twitch or create gaming content on YouTube.
5. Fitness: Become a personal trainer or create fitness content online.
