When I create a blog and start blogging it’s because I blog for profit so I like to keep tight lipped about where I make my money online.

So, there was a time not too long ago where I wouldn’t dream of sharing the hobbies I make money with online but the fact that I make my money focusing my hobbies locally I don’t mind sharing so much.

What I have found about sharing my hobbies, that works great for me, is to key in on your local area, far less competition that way. Keep that in mind while you think about making money with your hobbies.

1. Turning Your Fishing Hobby into Money

I not only have a passion for fly fishing where I live I have many years of experiences I share with my readers. This hobby has not only allowed me to share and earn but I have also made new friends.

Just this past summer I was contacted by a guy locally, less than 5 miles from my home asking about one of the bass fishing locations I shared about. That contact ended with me having a new fishing buddy.

I can be found on the first page of Google for numerous searches around the phrase fly fishing and our province.

Example: fly fishing in new brunswick

2. Backyard Hobby Gardener Earns Blogging

MY wife and I bought a little spot here in the heart of our city. We even purchased the lot next door so we could start a garden.

I started thinking that if I could make money from my fishing hobby why not start a blog on backyard gardening in our city. So I started a local blog and began sharing our experiences as newbie gardeners.

I had used an existing make money online domain I had purchased a couple years early that didn’t earn me anything.

The blog started earning a little and then more so I thought I would start a second blog on gardening and buy a keyworded domain.

That new domain wasn’t started until a year after my first gardening blog but in less than six months it caught up to my first garden blog.

Now I try to buy keyworded domains for my hobbies. I find it hard to get ones without hyphens but I don’t mind using hyphens. Heck I even have 3 domains now that have double hyphens in the name.

3. Baby Boomer Travel

We are baby boomers and grew up with travel so as we grew up and got married we still wanted to travel.

To this point we have only ever traveled with our son so most places were places with lots of great and thrilling rides. You know the ones that make you toss your cookies.

We are very close to retirement, we have even bought the laptop so we can blog while traveling. I decided to start a hobby travel blog.

I wasn’t sure what to put on the blog as I only had a few posts about our travels to get started with. So, what did I do?

I started using private label rights articles that I get for free and now this particular blog makes more than any other blog I have to this point. And we haven’t really started traveling yet.

Our travel blog isn’t focused locally like our other blogs but we get requests for placing ads on our site and the money just keeps growing. So of course I had to start a second travel site to see if I could duplicate the same results.

4. Horseback Riding

I don’t have a lot of experience in the hobby of horseback riding but I wish that I did. I would love to take a horseback ride to a remote fishing spot with friends to enjoy the scenery and the experience.

I live in the heart of our city and I don’t even have a horse but that’s where private label rights content and eager guest posters come in handy.

I haven’t made any money from this site on any of the banners or ads. I make money on my horseback riding blog from those who desire to pay me to put links on my blog.

My next hobby to try and earn from is Playing My Acoustic Guitar.
