All of us have hobbies or pastimes where we enjoy doing things we love, relaxing or having fun. Well, some of the hobbies are money-making. Below are some hobbies where we can earn some extras or turn them into businesses.
Fashion
If you are a fashionista or fashionister, besides buying clothes, sell them. As you are always in-trend, your clothes will be in-demand.
Start selling everywhere. In other words, multichannel selling. Sell on Facebook, from your webstore and /or mobile store. Sell in various marketplaces as well like Lazada, 11street etc. You can engage e-commerce platform providers like SiteGiant to make selling easier for you.
Writing or blogging
Not everyone has the knack for writing. If you have it, start writing or blogging. Choose a topic you are interested in and start writing. In time, you will be an expert in it.
Publish or sell your writings as e-books on platforms like Amazon. You can also join online places like Fiverr and start offering your writing skills.
If you have the discipline to consistently write good articles for your blog, you will eventually have a good pool of followers or readers. There are many companies out there who would then want you to be their affiliate. You can earn from being their affiliate.

Photography
If you love photography and constantly being seen with your camera, you may also consider this as your part time income or even start a photography business.
Take good pictures and sell them on online platforms like Shutterstock, Corbis, 123rf and many more. One of my friends even switched his career from being an engineer to a successful wedding photographer.
He started off by taking free wedding photographs due to his passion. As he is able to capture that special moment, more and more friends / couples asked him to be their photographer.
He then became a freelance photographer. Now, he owns a studio and constantly making overseas trip for couples who wish to take their wedding photographs in other countries especially Europe. Is he making money, of course!
Musical Instruments
You do not have to be Mozart or Beethoven. As long as you love music, you can enjoy playing while earning.
For instance, The Piano Guys, Jon Schmidt, Steven Sharp Nelson, Paul Anderson and Al van der Beek. They started off by just uploading their music on YouTube. Now, they are having tours around the globe and recordings in DVDs.
If you are well verse in many instruments, knowing which brand is good or bad, knowing which brand sells better, you may consider selling them online.
For instance, a Yamaha piano sells better and have a better reputation than a Kawai piano, sell it! This is a niche market. The easiest way to make money is to have no competitor or few competitors. Done right, you will be making lots of money.

Baking or Cooking
Everyone needs to eat. Some food lovers would even go the extra mile for good food; be it cooking and baking them or to visit certain outlets.
If you are good in cooking, share your recipes, take nice photographs of your food and upload them to Instagram. You may also start a YouTube channel demonstrating how the food is being cooked. According to Google, 59% of 25 to 34 years old take their mobile devices into the kitchen. They can see your cooking demo in the kitchen and try cooking the food on the spot.
Crafts
One good example is The Vintage Angel. Jessica Masiker simply loves to make earrings, necklaces, shawls. Now, she is selling on Facebook and handcraft marketplace like Etsy.
Her work is stunning and has more than 325 thousand Likes and followers on Facebook. May May, one of SiteGiant merchants who sells fabric and craft materials as well grew her business 40 -50% upon signing up with SiteGiant.
