Having a hobby is anyways fulfilling, but things can be even better if you can make some money out of it

Many people have hobbies that allow them to utilize their free time in a meaningful manner. Hobbies also enable people to pursue their personal interests, something that they may not be able to do in their job or profession. With hobbies, people can also generate some extra cash to boost their finances. If you have similar goals, here are some options you can consider.

Handmade crafts – With awareness about protecting the environment and supporting local skills, many people are looking for handmade products instead of factory-produced items. If you have interest in making handmade items, you can consider options such as custom art, jewelry, wall hangings, candles, homemade soaps, knitted items, handmade greeting cards, etc. You can sell in your community or even online on various ecommerce platforms.

Gardening – With concepts like terrace gardening or rooftop farming, you can sell a wide variety of fresh produce to your neighbors. You can charge premium rates by guaranteeing freshness and quality and pesticide-free produce. Your terrace garden can also function as a plant nursery, where you can grow a wide variety of plants such as flower saplings, fruit tree saplings, exotic plants, etc.

Stream gameplay – If you are good at video games, you can earn a decent amount via stream gameplay. You share your screen with the audience while you play a video game and provide voice narration. Earnings can come via donations, subscriptions and memberships. Various platforms are available for stream gameplay such as YouTube Live, Twitch, Facebook Gaming, Trovo and Kick. Stream gameplay is a great way to build a fan following, which can eventually be evolved into a big community.

Photography – Even in the age of AI, there is no replacement for attractive photographs captured with a human touch. If you are good at capturing the innate beauty of nature or human activity or human emotions, you can achieve a lot more than just likes on your social media page. A number of stock photography platforms are available where you can put your photographs for sale. Some options include Shutterstock, 123RF, Getty Images, Adobe Stock, Alamy, Dreamstime, etc.

Vlogging – If you have something special to share, you can start vlogging on platforms such as YouTube. It could be your unique skills, knowledge, your experiences, problem solving, relationship advice, storytelling, fashion and beauty tips, etc. You can also share your travel experiences, product reviews, analysis of current events, gaming tips, funny videos, memes, how-to videos, cooking recipes, health tips and unboxing videos. Vlogging options on YouTube are virtually limitless. You can earn money via ads, sponsorships and affiliate marketing.
