Hobbies and money: what hobbies can you make money from? How to make money from a hobby, money from your favorite hobby Hobbies from which you can make money examples.

You read articles about how others are starting a hobby business, and, of course, you get inspired to start your own business. You have a lot of ideas and... no results.

Lacy lingerie, sweets, bags... You think: “Cool! I also like beautiful coats. Maybe create your own brand? And a little later, after another story: “I also love traveling. Maybe…?"

Just a moment and you will learn 2 simple techniques on how to choose the right niche for your business.

4 AREAS WHERE PEOPLE ARE READY TO BUY FROM YOU NOW

I won't go into details, I'll just name them. Perhaps you have already been to one of them and heard about these mega niches:

1. Health;
2. Business, career, money;
3. Relationships (between a man and a woman, parents and children, etc.);
4. Personal and spiritual development.

Another big niche that I didn't mention on this list is food and clothing. These are areas where there is already enormous demand. You just need to offer your product or service.

It is important to understand that people make decisions based on 2 factors: there is some kind of problem or desire. Which of these factors is stronger? Of course it's a problem.

By the way, think about what question you still can’t solve? Chances are you're not alone. Someone is also looking for a solution. It is likely that if you find it and offer it to others, you will have clients.

Now for the exercise.

NICHE DETECTOR: 3 QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD ASK YOURSELF

This is a very simple but effective technique. You will need a piece of paper, a pen or pencil (than to write with) and only 5 minutes. You can do it right now (I promise I'll wait! ;)).

Divide the sheet into 3 vertical columns. In each of them write answers to the questions:

1. What do you like? What do you like to do?
For example, you like to play the piano, take care of children, and train dogs. Or you like bicycles.

2. What else would you like to learn? What skills to develop?
For example, learn Chinese, learn to play the violin, or communicate with a man in such a way as to get what you want.

3. What would you do if money and time were no object to you (i.e. you have everything)?

Imagine that you wanted a yacht, and you got one. If you wanted something else, you have it. What would you do in such circumstances? Think carefully. It is important.

The next step is to find points that have something in common and are somehow similar. They do not have to be in all 3 columns. Perhaps it will be the first and third or the second and third columns. Which of these activities would you like to develop in?

It is clear that it is not so easy to immediately get a real feel for your business niche. So I suggest you do one more exercise.

TECHNIQUE “30-5-1”

It helps to determine not just what is liked, but also what is most in demand among consumers.

What do we have to do:

1. Write down 30 topics that you can or would like to do. You can take the list you've already written and expand on it.
2. Next - go to https://wordstat.yandex.ua/. Enter a query about your topic in the search bar. For example, “consultation with a psychologist.” You will see a specific number of potential clients.
3. Select 5 topics that are in highest demand.
4. Of the five most popular, leave 1 topic that you prefer.

It should be something that truly lights you up from the inside, for which you are willing to work even for free. Then find your niche area of expertise.

For example, you love scarves. You can start producing them yourself (find people who will start sewing them according to your design).

You can contact manufacturers directly and simply sell. Or you can start teaching style: how to wear scarves correctly.

Even in a narrower niche there are many options. Choose what you like!

How often do we, having tried our hand in different guises, wonder why cross-stitching or felting cannot turn from a favorite hobby into a profitable business. After all, any creator wants recognition, even the smallest. And, of course, who among the creators does not want to receive money for their work?!

Psychologists say that unrealized creative potential is the most common cause of prolonged depression. Because of unfulfillment and uselessness, people despair much more often than because of unrequited love. The myth that work and what you love are different things was dispelled a long time ago. Therefore, in this article we will only reveal some secrets, following which you can find the strength, desire and opportunity to make money from your creativity.

If you have no problems with the muse - she comes to you with enviable regularity, and you do not suffer from stinginess of imagination, then these 7 tips. If the idea of making big money comes to you much more often than creative ideas, then you should, first of all, develop your creative abilities or take on point No. 1 with special diligence. And here he is.

1. Decide

Numerous "Julius Caesars" are common. Today he is a photographer, tomorrow a fashion designer, the day after tomorrow he decides to write another science fiction novel about how uninvited guests of the Universe penetrated the Earth and are now roaming the streets, masquerading as flower sellers. The first rule of potential development is to precisely determine the area of application of creative potential. Or at least direct your energy to related areas.

2. Constantly learn

Behind the airy halo of any creative process is painstaking and long work. In order to be an outstanding musician, it is not enough to know musical notation; you also need to be able to work with sound, compose poetry and melody, and solve technical and organizational problems. Only a true professional who is not afraid to constantly learn and improve his skills can rise to the top of Olympus.

3. Know how to present yourself

If you are not one of the quitters, are a happy owner of some talent and firmly know in which creative direction you want to move next, then this is still not enough to create a successful career. Next, an important point in climbing the career ladder is the ability to correctly present yourself and your own capabilities. Social networks, blogs, forums, special communities and even personal websites are all low-budget and very effective ways to express yourself and advertise the fruits of your creativity.

4. Right price

And finally, everyone knows about you, you work hard and successfully and there is a demand for your services. The time has come to set the price for hand made. Here you need to think through everything carefully. Set a price that is too low - future potential buyers will think that your product is not of great value, and you only want to sell it as quickly as possible and will refuse to purchase. Analyze prices for typical goods and services, evaluate your chances, conduct a survey among friends and acquaintances on how much they would agree to pay for your creations. , because this is not only a very nice gift, but also an excellent marketing ploy and advertising for you.

5. Take every chance

Sometimes life itself gives us a signal to do what we love, and for money. One of my friends got carried away by fashion today scrapbooking. She designed handmade albums and cards for all her friends for the holidays. At the next holiday, the anniversary of a school friend, she also presented her with her handmade album. In addition to the birthday girl herself, this gift captivated another of the guests, who turned out to be the owner of a large gift store. He invited the self-taught needlewoman to sell her work in his store. A year later, such a pleasant part-time job turned into her life’s work. And now she is a successful designer and graphic artist.

6. Creativity for money is work

Be prepared that you may even get bored with your hobby and lose its former charm. You will have to face harsh conditions where there are customers who demand one thing, and then something completely different; where there are strict deadlines and there is no room for a long search for inspiration. Creative work is exactly the same work as any other, which requires a lot of effort, high efficiency and!

7. Don't despair

If you decide to carve out a creative path to wealth, then be prepared for the fact that hundreds and thousands of times you will fail at many things. The muse may come and go, the fruits of labor may not be in demand for a long time, there will be many strong and worthy competitors, and even the closest people may not share your zeal. But in any situation, you should not despair and quit what you started halfway if you are sure that this is exactly what your life is about. Move forward without any doubts!

A natural question after reading my previous article. When you analyze your life statistics and choose your favorite activity, the question immediately arises: what next? Well, I love cross-stitching, what does that have to do with money? Naturally, I don’t have a direct answer to the question, but I’m sure that if the goal is not to earn millions (this should actually be a separate hobby), then you can try to find options, but for this you need to understand some nuances, which will be discussed speech.

Yes, I’ll make a reservation right away, you don’t have to make money from your hobby at all, this is voluntary :) It’s just important for some that the process of earning money brings at least some pleasure, and for others not so much. And not everyone managed to fall in love with the format of office work and find something suitable for themselves in it. We are all different, so the option of making money from a hobby is not the only correct one. Whatever suits you personally is correct!

In fact, most often you cannot make money from a hobby. More precisely, it’s almost always impossible. But if you “string” some other things into your hobby that are directly related to earning money, then in general, it may turn out to be more pleasant than doing something completely unloved and purely for money. What is important is the resulting vector that we get. To make it more clear, I will give my example.

I enjoy writing, traveling and photography. These actions do not directly bring in any money and are done as if for the soul. But if I turn all this into a blog, give it structure, adjust my travel goals for the benefit of the business, also write the information I receive during my trips, although I don’t really want to write about it, read about SEO, do optimization, study PHP and finish the site , then in the end we get that out of all my activities, I am only 50 percent hobbyist, or even less (it depends on whoever it is). But the pleasure from this 50% outweighs all the “minuses” and the resulting vector for me is directed precisely towards the plus. Moreover, when I worked in an office as an engineer, I wasn’t even 10% interested in my hobby :) No, I didn’t hate work, on the contrary, I treated it calmly, but I didn’t get any pleasure either, well, only on payday.

Thus, we again return to the fact that at least part of your work should bring you some kind of pleasure, otherwise everything will get boring very quickly. Of course, there is an opinion that any business, if you do it a lot, sooner or later you will get bored and turn into a routine. I agree, this happens, but it’s not a fact that it always happens to everyone. It seems to me that you can “sacrifice” a hobby once and test on your own skin whether you get tired of it or not :) Hobbies are just that, you can find another one later, because they usually change throughout life, new ones appear and old ones disappear. But it may well be that you organize your activities in such a way that you don’t get tired of the hobby at all. Especially if it will only take up part of your work.

I also wanted to draw attention to this point. No one bothers you, after a while, to delegate the most unpleasant things for you to someone. Well, you can’t remake a WordPress template every time to suit your needs, right to the point of tears and throwing your laptop against the wall, which means you need to give this direction to some programmer. And in general, certain areas of your work can be shortened or increased in time; this is just for those who are afraid that there will be too many hobbies in their life.

What should I do?

What should you do, drop everything and dive into your hobby? I think it’s not worth it, well, only if you’re not enthusiastic to begin with. At least it's worth doing everything wisely. For example, start doing something together with your current work. Let it be little by little, but in a few years you can finally understand what else you need to add to your hobby so that it starts making money. And someday the moment will come when it will be possible to switch from your previous job to a hobby, even with a loss of income. This will be the moment when you feel that the further development of your business is hampered only by the limitation of time due to the fact that most of it is spent on work. But in general, it would be a good idea to create a financial buffer for 1-2 years in order to feel more confident.

During this period, you can even reduce personal expenses, for the sake of a good goal, so to speak. In addition, you can discover such an interesting thing as losing the need to spend money in the “I’ll please myself” format, since by doing what you like, as a rule, you need to please yourself less, and without it it’s good. I can't promise, but maybe it will happen to you, as it happened to me. I no longer needed to visit cafes and cinemas, I lost any interest in buying things and equipment, I no longer needed anything in terms of shopping. No, this does not mean at all that I stopped buying, only now it happens without emotions, without “I want”, but only on the basis of “need”. I need a laptop for work - I bought it, I need to change my jeans, since the old ones are torn - I change them. But I no longer “want” to buy all this; on the contrary, I want NOT to waste time on it. Therefore, it is bought only if it is really necessary, otherwise it is simply too lazy to do it.

Specific examples

In order not to be completely unfounded, I will give some examples. Naturally, it is impossible to cover all situations, so only what comes to mind immediately in terms of remote work and work via the Internet. I think everyone already knows about office work, you just need to go to the job search site and look at the vacancies of professions that suit you to try out.

As I already wrote above, the opportunity to earn money purely from what you love rarely arises, and specifically to earn money you need to do something else additionally. If an artist paints pictures, then they need to be sold to someone, and here, either learn how to sell yourself, or hire someone from outside. Yes, this may distract from the creative process, but the world at the moment is such that the desire to earn money must accompany the desire to create.

Travelers can earn money from the services of a guide (either by working for someone or by organizing their own tours), from travel consultations, from running their own travel blog, from creating guidebooks, from publications in magazines, from photo stocks.
Photography lovers can earn money from photo stocks, from photo sessions (both in their city and while traveling), from Photoshop or photography lessons (both in the form of webinars/information products, and on their blog).
Those who like to write texts can earn money from their blogs (on various topics), from copywriting to order, from publishing in magazines, remotely being content managers for various sites, and from running groups on social networks.
Those who are inclined towards programming can make websites, plugins for various engines, and templates. Create your own websites and services, either independently or in partnership with someone who will manage content and promotion. And I’m already silent about what opportunities there are for freelancing, and in principle for office work.
Those who know languages can teach on Skype, write some of their own manuals, and translate to order.
If you spend your time on social networks from morning to evening, you can take care of your own groups, as well as promote and lead other people’s groups. That is, study and engage in SMM. You can also sell some goods through these groups.
Clothes lovers may well become consultants, they can start writing a blog for fellow shopaholics, describing techniques for selecting clothes and various discounts. You can also open your own online store.
Sling mothers have a direct path to sling consultants, as well as to the resale of used slings, either simply through communities or by creating their own online store.
For food lovers, it’s best to write culinary blogs, organize webinars, or provide consultations regarding diets and calories. There is quite a bit more space for projects here, because everyone eats every day. They are now selling meal kits for cooking for every day, someone guessed it.

Hobby turns into business

The only downside I see to all of the above is that you will have to work, and quite a lot. To make good money, you need to be a specialist in one field or another, and this will take time. This is me kind of hinting that there is no freebie. For some reason, many people perceive that money should somehow come on its own, especially in blogging. However, in fact, you just need to work, do some kind of business with all the accompanying activities, and in general, “earning money” should be a goal in itself. This is why some bloggers (a minority) make money, while others do not (the majority). Yes, I think not only bloggers...

In essence, a hobby turns into a business, and without such an attitude towards it, it will always remain purely a hobby. This is the mistake of many people, including mine at one time. Believe me, people listen to paid courses and coaches to understand the effectiveness of this approach. It came to me intuitively, and I myself didn’t understand how I gradually moved to a more systematic approach, but how much time was lost... It’s very cool, the recent response resonated with me, finally putting everything in order.

You will have to make a choice sooner or later, or it will be made for you by circumstances. If you hate making money from what you like, you hate making money from your creativity, then perhaps you shouldn’t start. Decide for yourself from the beginning whether you are ready to combine your hobby with your job and make a business out of them, otherwise you risk losing your hobby from disappointment and not making a business. Perhaps you should leave your hobby alone and do it for pleasure and self-expression when you are in the mood. Business presupposes the presence of those things that you don’t want to do, some prudence, and the need to pull yourself together when something doesn’t work out and you give up.

Is it worth making money from a hobby?

I can’t help but mention another scenario, so that I won’t be accused of contrasting my FAVORITE hobby with my UNFAVORITE job. After all, a job can be something you love, but a hobby is generally just for the soul...

It may well be that having taken the path of making money remotely, you may even understand that you are interested in a hobby only in the hobby format, and your office work is actually not so unloved (). Anything can happen, and I am sincerely happy for those who are satisfied with the office, driving in traffic jams, etc. I have friends who are not annoyed by traffic jams and are 100% satisfied with life in Moscow, I would like that too, but I can’t. And it’s also great when a person studies at university immediately for the profession that he needed, and then goes to work in the same direction. I personally didn’t have enough consciousness in this regard, I graduated just so that I could have a higher education (during my student days I was only interested in drinking/partying). And only closer to 30 years old did I understand the area in which I was interested in developing professionally, so I do not exclude the possibility that I will someday be ready for a second higher education, but this has already been deliberately chosen.

Thus, by trying something new, you can gain experience, even if it’s negative. In my opinion, it is much better to try and understand for yourself that it is worth returning to your previous job than to be tormented by doubts and not try anything. That’s why life is given, to find something you like, so that you like the process itself, the result of the activity, and the format of the work. Isn't this the main goal in professional fulfillment? It’s just advisable to do all this while you’re young, while you have the strength, and it’s not so strongly tied to your family and responsibility to it.

True, too impressionable natures will have a hard time, they are led by headlines “quit the office and earn $1000 a day”, “change your office in the basement to a desk by the ocean”, etc. Of course, earning $1000 a day is quite possible (I know such people), but this is preceded by study, trial and error, the desire to achieve your financial goals, enthusiasm, and finally, time.

Almost anything. For example, if you love making sweets, you can make them to order. If you knit well, create things to sell. If you are interested in architecture, take tours around the city. If you love to read, write a blog about books or create a paid newsletter.

This is worth thinking about if you go to a job you don’t like every day and can’t devote enough time to your hobbies. The advantage is that you don’t have to quit your job right away. Start with a part-time job, and if things work out, then quit and work for yourself. In Russia, 20 million people work for themselves, so you can do it too.

Where to start your business

The first thing to do is think through the idea. To do this, ask yourself the following questions:

What will I create?
What is unique about my offer?
How am I better than my competitors?
How will this benefit people?
Who will be my clients?

For example, you knit wool cardigans from soft merino wool. They fit perfectly and do not lose their appearance after washing. This cardigan is comfortable in any weather: it does not prick, retains its shape and does not look like cardigans from the mass market. Your clients are women 18–40 years old with above-average earnings. They like quality items and are willing to pay for product exclusivity.

Your offer should evoke an emotional response from buyers. Something like: “Wow! How cool! I want it! You need to find your niche, which means your offer must be different from other similar ones and be better in some way so that customers choose you. Lack of consumer demand is the main reason The Top 20 Reasons Startups Fail business failures.

Large companies conduct focus group surveys before launching a new product or service. If a new product is liked, it is launched; if the reaction is ambiguous, it is modified or abandoned. So, if you come up with something new, check the viability of the idea with friends and acquaintances. Just let them not spare your feelings and answer honestly. How to do this is well described in Rob Fitzpatrick’s book “Ask Mom.” How to communicate with clients and confirm the correctness of your business idea if everyone around you is lying?

For greater objectivity, create an anonymous Google form with a description of the idea and a field for feedback. Send it to your friends, leave it on forums and social networks.

How to write a business plan

Even if you just want to make homemade marshmallows, a business plan will show you how much you can make and whether it's worth it.

A business plan consists of several parts. In short, it needs:

Describe the idea.
Study your competitors and your advantages. If you can show the difference between yourself and your competitors, you have a better chance of attracting customers and charging a high price.
Determine your target audience and ways to tell them about your product.
Draw up a production and financial plan: calculate the cost of goods or services, costs of rent, advertising, delivery, taxes and all other costs, monthly profit, profit for the year and payback time. When the costs and expected profit are visible, you can adjust the numbers: find raw materials cheaper, raise the price, reduce advertising costs, deliver orders yourself.

If you don't know what price to set, use the formula: materials + overhead + labor = cost. Cost × 2 = retail price.

Materials are everything you need to make a thing or provide a service. Overhead costs - delivery, advertising, rent, bank commission, taxes. Labor is how much you charge for a job. If you don't spend money on rent or delivery, don't include it in your expenses. If you don't need the materials, skip it too.

Let's look at an example using cardigans. To avoid operating at a loss, you must calculate all expenses and include them in the price. Let's start with materials. For one cardigan you need 400 g of yarn (1,000 rubles) and 6 buttons (60 rubles). Packaging - 50 rubles. You charge 500 rubles for the work. Total: 1,000 + 60 + 50 + 500 = 1,640 x 2 = 3,220. This is the minimum cost of one cardigan. To increase profits, you need to either raise the price (charge more for the work) or buy materials cheaper.

The Ecwid blog for entrepreneurs has an example of a business plan for the production of healthy sweets.

How to bring an idea to life

1. Come up with a name and logo. They will be needed to design a website, pages on social networks and printed materials for clients. If nothing comes to mind, you can order a logo from a designer or do without it for the first time.

2. Come up with packaging. Buyers are more pleased to receive their order in a box or craft paper than in a regular plastic bag. Let this increase the cost of the product by 50 rubles, but the buyer will smile and tell his friends about you.

3. Find wholesale suppliers. In the past, you may have been able to buy materials from your local supermarket. But if you decide to take the business seriously and make a profit, you need to reduce the cost of the product. Wholesale purchasing will help with this.

4. Consider the terms of delivery. How and where will you deliver your goods: regionally, throughout Russia or abroad? By courier or Russian Post? Will you be offering curbside pickup? You can skip this point if you provide services rather than sell goods.

5. Take photos and come up with a description. The product image is the first thing the buyer pays attention to. Try to make the photos beautiful and in the same style. If you're selling things, photograph them from different angles and show off the details. If your hobby is creativity, intellectual work or providing services, show your portfolio and examples of work.

6. Create an online store. The website is your business card. Here you briefly introduce yourself and show what you do. The site does not replace, but complements social networks. It is needed so that potential clients can find all the information in one place, and not scroll through posts on the wall or in the feed. You can create a website quickly and for free using the Ecwid service: register, upload photos, descriptions of goods and services, set up payment and delivery methods. The result is a beautiful one-page website with a built-in online store, which is convenient to view on both a smartphone and a desktop.

How to create an online store

Let's use Ecwid as an example - everything is simple. You register and are immediately taken to the control panel.

To edit a site, go to the “All Sales Channels” → “Start Site” page and click “Edit Site”. You will be asked to fill out a page with the following blocks: “Introduction and cover”, “Title and logo”, “Contacts”, “Reviews”.

Page cover

This is the first thing a person sees when he visits the site. Upload a beautiful, good quality photo. It could be your product, your team, yourself, the production process, or an inspiring picture (a selection of stock photos with free photos can help). Photo size must be 1,000 × 667 or larger.

In your introduction, briefly describe what you do and why you should be chosen.

The appearance of the showcase can be changed in the “Design” section:

After you have edited the page, set prices and discounts. People like to buy a product at a discount rather than just a low price. So don’t hesitate to set the price higher and then lower it with promotions and coupons.

In the basic tariff you can download up to 10 products or services. This is enough for a start. Ecwid does not take a commission on sales, even if you use the free plan.

If you already have a website or blog, you can integrate the Ecwid online store into it: create a storefront, accept payments, track orders, create discount coupons. Ecwid is compatible with sites based on WordPress, Wix, Tilda, uKit and other platforms. If you want to sell on Facebook or VKontakte, you can upload the catalog to pages on these social networks automatically. Customers will be able to place orders without negotiations in private messages.

Additional income from handicrafts

Handicraft is now commonly called the fashionable word hand-made, which unites everything that is made with one’s own hands. Handicrafts are highly valued, and people are willing to pay to have designer textiles and designer decor in their homes, to wear exclusive clothes and to buy unique hand-made toys for their children. When considering interesting income-generating hobbies, it is first worth noting:

or knitting - you can knit not only fashionable clothes to order, but also popular little things: sofa and car pillows, toys, napkins, bags, cosmetic bags, phone cases and much more. From this hobby several interesting hobbies were born, for example, and;
– beginner seamstresses can sew soft toys, dolls, home decor and textiles, bags, furniture covers. A separate and very profitable direction is;
embroidery – you can embroider panels, pillowcases, custom portraits, bags, clothes and many other interesting things. There are a lot of embroidery techniques:, etc.;
– this technique produces incredibly beautiful toys, jewelry, household items, paintings, accessories (hats, bags);
- a very fashionable technique, which is now used to make jewelry for clothes and hair, home decor, and costume jewelry. The main material is satin ribbons;
by appearance it is difficult to distinguish from living buds; ready-made flowers are used for bouquets and other crafts in the style of floristry;
has always been a profitable business, but today it has been supplanted - the available material, after being treated with varnish, is in no way inferior in strength and beauty to vine. It is recommended to weave boxes, baskets, caskets, and decor for sale.

You can make money from handicrafts not only by selling finished works, but also by teaching the intricacies of the craft to other people. A good income is obtained from conducting paid master classes, where you explain in detail and show all the steps of creating a craft. It’s easy to find participants through social networks or negotiate joint projects in art stores.

Earn money on useful little things

Needlewomen who have been successfully making money from their products for a long time admit that they receive the most stable income from small things. These types of creativity are easy to master, and the cost of materials for crafts is much less than the cost of the finished work.

If you are interested in interesting hobbies that generate income, pay attention to this list:

- a fairly simple technique that allows you to create beautiful jewelry, refrigerator magnets, key rings, home decor, photo frames, and flower arrangements from inexpensive raw materials. Aerobatics - plastic dolls;
somewhat similar to the activity described above, but here you need to prepare the material yourself, using flour and salt. The dough is used to make candlesticks, souvenirs, figurines, and panels.
– creating decorative trees of happiness from all kinds of materials, including available and waste ones: seashells, pasta, coffee, ribbons, buttons, fabric and paper flowers. You can make small topiaries for sale - they are cheaper and sell out quickly;
are highly valued in the handicraft markets - these include jewelry, panels, bottle decor, and accessories. Working with leather is a very pleasant experience, and its results delight with beauty and uniqueness. Raw materials are inexpensive if you buy used items;
- a simple hobby that brings good income, especially during the holidays. Handmade soap is valued not only for its beautiful design, but also for the naturalness and usefulness of the ingredients that provide complete skin care;
Making candles is another good way to earn money from a hobby, which can be a good way to replenish the family budget. Candles are bought as gifts for the holidays, as well as for wedding table decoration, before the New Year and Christmas.
Now very popular, these fragrant raw materials are used to decorate photo frames, create coffee trees, inverted cups and candles, wall panels and even for decorations;
It’s worth mastering for anyone who wants to earn extra income from their hobby. If you buy materials not in departments for handicrafts, but in large quantities or in construction stores, the difference between the purchase price and the cost of the finished work will be very significant.
