You can achieve great heights, either with a great desire, or with a great love for your work. For some reason, we put the least favored work in the first place, and your favorite occupation for the second. Everyone wants to make money fun and carefree, but only a few are hesitant to give up everything and do what they like.
How can a hobby bring profit if money is always left on it?
Many of us have never even tried to make money on your hobby. Fine photographs are dusting in albums, embroidered works are handed out to friends and acquaintances, and costume jewelery from polymer clay is removed to the casket until better times. Many have never tried to sell the fruits of their hobbies.
Making candles, booklets, postcards. All this can be sold and earn money on this. But this is not just a salary - it's a piece of yourself, given into the hands, who want to get it. Not every your girlfriend knows how to weave from beads, but probably everyone asked to weave something to her.
Sale of handicrafts is not only useful for the wallet, but also nice for others.
Now we have huge areas for earnings, available to all comers. You can register a group on social networks and sell your product in it or create your own website. And if the first and the second are not under force, then you can find an intermediary or a group of people who sell a similar product. And the nearest store can gladly take for sale your handmade soap or jewelry from beads. It's not for nothing that people say that each product will find its buyer.
And what if the hobby is not material?
Every hobby has some income. Do you jump with a parachute? Take the appropriate exams and train others. Yes, it takes some time, but it's better than sitting in the manager's chair all my life, dreaming about another jump.
Do you understand chemistry like no other? Teach others to understand the same. Become a tutor or conduct group classes for other people. And if you're shy, then try to conduct training as a lecture in skype. The Internet is now densely integrated into our lives. Maybe people from the other side of the planet are happy to listen to your lessons.
Write poetry or stories, and maybe even fairy tales? Try to write poetry to order or to release for children a small and colorful book. Poems can be written independently in beautiful postcards, which are also made by themselves. After all, it's nice to get an original postcard with a verse written personally for you.
A good example of this Angelo Sotire, who from youth was striving for two dreams - money and modern art. He is the creator of the most famous website for artists all over the world.
Any hobby can bring a stable and high income if you plan it correctly.
Each product has its own customer
But here the question arises - who should sell it? You are deeply mistaken if you think that you will not find your buyer. Hand-made things are very much appreciated, both in Russia and abroad. Do not be afraid to work for free at first. For something to happen, you need to invest something. The best investment is word of mouth.
Make a couple of candles for a test, for example in a spa, and perhaps they will be appreciated by its employees, customers or the salon management. And things will go up the hill.
Several free photosessions at the wedding - and in a couple of months you will have a good portfolio for work in the newspaper or in the photo salon. And during school graduation, you simply will not be given a rest, if you bid below the rest. A pair of competently decorated flowerbeds to neighbors and you are already being discussed.
The main thing is not to fear the first dads to work for an idea, because it is she who can give you some glory and recognition.
You can safely refer to your experience and openly warn that the price is lower because of a small experience or a small portfolio. Now many people want to save money, and for a lot of money a specialist can be useless.
Be Realistic
Do not immediately rush into all the hard and leave work. The first time is better still to refrain from radical measures and just continue to do what you love, but taking into account the further growth in this area. And do not be discouraged if something does not work out. Not everyone is lucky, but it's worth a try. Do not give up everything if it seems to you that your earnings are very small. Not everyone can and wants to make a hobby his income. And if you have already achieved something, then do not forget to improve yourself. Try new and give joy to others. And do not forget, there are many specialists, but there are very few good specialists.
