Can a Hobby Become a Business?

Posted on May 7, 2013 by Ligia — No Comments ↓

SolutionWho wouldn’t like to have a job that is fun and brings you excitement every day? How about something that you don’t mind doing all day long instead of looking at the clock and counting the minutes to the end of your shift? What if you could take your hobby or passion and make it into something you can do for a living? Can you imagine being able to quit your 9 to 5 job and do exactly what you love for the rest of your life?  Can you imagine if that were possible? Well, it is.

If your hobby involves making some sort of product, such as jewelry, you may be able to directly sell the pieces. You may also want to offer services related to the hobby. For example, if you like gardening, start a yard working business in your community. You could also sell bulbs from your garden, write literature on gardening and market it, or even start a restaurant based on a menu of homegrown fruits and vegetables. The possibilities are endless if you use your imagination.

Evaluate your passion and see if it can be profitable for you. Ask family, friends, professionals, and other entrepreneurs in the area to give you feedback on your business idea before you dive in. Once you are convinced you have a good product or service idea, use the Internet as a tool. Nowadays, starting a new business is easier than ever with the use of technology. Besides expanding the sale of your product online, you can also use it as a source of advertising.

If your hobby is indeed marketable, create a business plan, write down your goals, and take massive action. You will be joining a countless number of entrepreneurs who already do business online, and who are living their dreams. And most and foremost, they’re doing what they love.

In my home country, Brazil, I had the opportunity to do what I love for about 15 years; I privately taught English as a second language. I even had my own little language school for 4 years before coming to the USA. I did quite well, but I could have done much better if had had the leverage of the computer.

The Internet is the solution for your business. Don’t leave for tomorrow what you can leverage today!

P.S. Let me help you turn you passion into a business.

Thank you for visiting my blog. Well, believe it or nor I’m originally from Brazil, but I married to an American and have lived in California for the past 14 years. When I first came to America, I was able to work at some regular jobs as a secretary, a teacher’s aide, and an interpreter. However, at the end of 2009, I found myself without a job and competing with a younger generation. Get the picture? Today, I’m very thankful I found Better Women Network, a concerned group of women supporting and mentoring other women, regardless of their age, to help them learn how to make money online using an online platform called Global NPN.
