Do You Make Money Online With Your Hobbies?

Posted December 29, 2007 , By webmann

Like most hobbyists I have never had a problem spending money on my hobbies and I really enjoy buying new things for my hobbies. My beautiful and loving wife, Jennifer, says that my fishing buddies and I actually go out looking for things to spend money on. There may just be some truth to that, after all we wouldn’t want to miss the latest and greatest.

I will admit that over the years I have spent at least one or two small fortunes on my hobbies. As do so many others.

You know the story, if it’s not one thing it’s another

“I need new fishing line and of course new flies for fishing and some lures and and and….” Well the real truth is that I want new this and that.

“My guitar needs new strings…”

“Our gardening tools are all old and rusty, need new ones.”

See, I have no problem spending if it has anything to do with my hobbies, so trust me, there is great money to be made in hobbies.

Some of my hobbies and interests I make money online with.

Fishing is the hobby I have enjoyed the longest, about 40 years. It’s great fun, exercise and I get to make a lot of new like-minded friends.

For me fishing includes spin casting, bait-casting, fly fishing and float-tube fishing.

I like to buy new fly rods, spinning rods and bait casting rods every few years. Of course each type of rod needs it’s own equipment like reels and line.

I love buying new lures and I tie my own flies for fly fishing but that takes materials and hooks.

My chest waders and boots only last so long, especially because of some of the places I fish.

The list of things I love to spend money on goes on and on and will do so until I kick the bucket or can’t go fishing any longer.

Traveling is something we do as a family and at least once a year. We have mostly traveled to amusement parks in the U.S. as we live in Canada and can use our car to travel in. We don’t always travel by car we also travel by plane and spend a lot of money.

In the past I only spent money on traveling but now I also earn money by promoting a travel site blog and affiliate programs.

Playing guitar doesn’t cost me a lot at all but I have bought a few guitars and they all need strings now and then. The friends that have taken up guitar over the years could have made me money. Just in the past week two new friends have taken up guitar and will be spending hundreds of dollars each.

Backyard Gardening is new to us and costs money every year. We have friends that garden as well and they spend money every single years without fail.

These are some of my hobbies, I am sure you have your own hobbies that you spend money on. Use those hobbies to make money online and you may just find that you start taking up new hobbies.

I even have interests I don’t really want.

Two other areas I now have knowledge in, unfortunately are: Heart Attacks and How To Quit Smoking.

Speaking of New Hobbies: Cameras and Photography

Blogs and websites tend to look better with images but in the past I have had to buy graphics because I shake so bad that any time I take a picture it is out of focus. But now we have cameras that compensate for shaky hands like mine.

My wife and I will be able to document our activities now so that we can have images and possibly even some videos that will fit right into our hobby blogs.

Remember there is gold in them thar hobbies…
