I think it depends on what the hobby is. I have two hobbys, reading and crocheting, and i don't see how there is anyway that those hobbies could make me a millionaire.

I think that it is according to the hobby and how much time you want to spend working at it.

I believe it can as well; If you love to make things, and sell them, you can make a good profit out of it. I believe there are many ideas out there from hobbies that can make one rich.

I think if your hobby is really unique, it can be a source of income for some people. Many businesses started as a hobby like one girl I read that sells cupcakes online at Etsy. She loves to cook cupcakes and her recipes are so unique that she has a great following. She was also able to find a way on how to properly and securely package her cupcakes using Mason jars that she can ship her cupcakes all over the US and around the world.

Absolutely. It just depends on the hobby itself. If you are a master at playing card games you can get yourself some dough in the long run. I think learning card games is by far one of the most lucrative ways to get some cash. One of my goals is to become a 21 champ. And I'm trying to learn how to count cards now. Which is legal if you do the math in your head. That is a sure way to get you far. Only, don't let it go to your head because you may not get anywhere.

i think so too. as long as you are enjoying the business or anything that makes you economically productive, we can call that a money-making hobby. and if we do it efficiently and effectively... and maximize the earning and we move to becoming a millionaire.
