Got a Hobby - Make Money from It!

If you have a hobby you are spending time doing something you LIKE doing! We don't all like the work we do. We work because we have to, to make enough money to live. Some people take up a hobby simply as a means of turning off from the boredom or stress of work.

Some people are blessed with a job they enjoy. They like going to their place of work and love every minute they spend there. Their jobs are fulfilling. The job almost becomes a hobby in itself. When they come home in the evening, they just want to relax and do nothing in particular because they have exceeded their daily dose of happiness. It's time to wind down, refresh and get ready for tomorrow and another satisfying day at work.

I don't honestly think there are too many people like that around. Do you? Most people work because they have to. They work to pay the bills. They're in the job they do because that was all they could get. They'd like to move on but they can't find anything better.

So, what do they do to counteract the boredom, to cope with the stress, to make themselves feel happy, to feel they are acheiving something? They start a hobby! Something, almost anything, they can do in their spare time to make themselves feel better.

Hobbies come in all shapes and sizes but they all involve one or more of the following: collecting, doing, making, and above all learning. Learning is the most important activity because it applies to all the others. You learn almost by accident as you work on your hobby, you discover hints and tips just by doing what you do, you look for ways to overcome problems that arise, you research your hobby in order to do it better. All the while you are acquiring KNOWLEDGE and EXPERIENCE!

Whatever your hobby, all this knowledge and experience can be put to good use ... to MAKE MONEY!

In later posts I will be suggesting more ways all kinds of hobbies can be easily turned into money making ventures and detailing a few hints and tips about getting started.
