Think about it. When was the last time you were truly able to take your time doing something you really enjoyed without having to suffer the consequences? They say when you love your job you never have to work a day in your life. For most people that would feel like living the dream- getting to wake up each day knowing that they truly get to do what they enjoy and getting paid to do it.

While for most of us we have forgotten what it’s like to have fun and to pursue hobbies. For the rest, there are those people who are wise and doing what they can to make a little bit of extra money on the side of their main job.

Here are some of the things you can do to earn a little extra money from your hobbies today.

Blogging

Blogging is a great way of earning a passive income from home. If you have something you’re passionate about or particularly interested in and you have a flair for writing, you have the potential to earn some money through blogging.

You can either start your very own blog and try to earn money from working with brands who have similar interests, or you can work for a company that offers freelance guest post work for other blogs.

Having a Collection

Many of us may have collected things from when we were a child. If you can stand to come away from the sentimental value that you hold in your collection of baseball cards or vinyl, for example, there’s money that can be made.

Coin collection is a great way of making money too. From buying gold and silver eagles to getting hold of a coin that was limited in circulation, you can earn plenty of money from sourcing coins and selling them to avid collectors.

Fitness

Enjoy spending time in the gym? Why not use some of the skills you have learned throughout your fitness journey to help to encourage others?

There are a variety of ways you can use fitness to make money and inspire others. You could become a fitspo influencer on social media platforms, or you could create and sell bespoke exercise and meal plans to people looking to get healthy.
Health and fitness is a billion-dollar industry. Make sure you get yourself a slice of that keto pie!

Web Design

If you started to make money through blogging and learned the ins and outs of building and maintaining a blog host page, you may well have picked up some skills in web design and development. For people with significantly less digital prowess, your skills could be invaluable. You should consider stopping doing websites for free and start charging people to have their very own bespoke websites.

There are plenty of ways you can make money by doing the things that you love. Just make sure to do what you can to maintain that enjoyment and you can be an example of never having to work a day in your life.
