I've loved making websites since I was about 13 now 5 yrs later I have 6 websites and I'm currently trying to start up my own website building business to try to earn some good money, havnt made anything yet, but im being optimistic

i like to read and i can write so i know some stuff. i write articles almost everyday online. however, recently, i find nothing to write about except the bowing of president obama...

Yes, writing is my hobby and I use it as much as I can to make a little extra cash.

In fact by making use of your hobby is one of the best ways as it's something that you are passionate about. I love doing classes and helping people grow mentally and i also love stuffs revolving psychology. So, i do quite a lot of small workshops on parenting and also self-help group learning soft-skills.

I usually written to make money at home ,but most to forex to more money!

Ohh most defintly i may go play basketball at the gym and end up playing a guy for money and me being a former College player i quickly and easily defeat...easy doe

Hey! I think that mylot is a very good example for using hobbies to help make extra money. I really like to talk to people, to hear differnt thoughts and to share my thoughts about differnt topics. In mylot I use my hobbie of internet and I make some money from that. Another thing, I had used to build websites and I had money trough them. I like computers Html and stuff like that and on the internet you have a lot of ways to earn wxtra money. Have a good day and good luck with earning extra money!

Yup! I am using my hobby to help me make extra money. I love to cross-stitch and I have been paid many many times sewing for others. As a matter of fact just recently I have submitted a cross-stitch to a client and earned. I like to garden too and I once planned to make money out of it. I wanted to plant euphorbias cause they're very easy to grow. But a lot of people in my hometown have been growing the plant and I somehow got tired looking at every house seeing euphorbias. It was a craze that time. But now I think the craze has subsided already. But if I have time I still would want to earn from my gardening. It's really nice if we think of making good use of our hobbies. Even staying in our homes we can still make extra money and we become productive in life. It's a good example for housewives too! Good luck and sell lots of plants!

Hi lynnemg, At these times, it is good to put our skills into good use whether we start off with our hobbies or career. I'm glad you had thought of making use of your hobbies to earn extra income. I do, too. I love gardening but since I am working here in the city and always in front of the computer, I had nowhere else to do my gardening. I love surfing the net or just watching online movies. When I was referred by a friend in mylot, I have learned that I can put this hobby to good use by earning an extra income online. I can even do this on my few breaks at work... especially on mylot, I love it here and not only I can earn online but I can also learn a lot from the members all over the world.

Not yet. I like cooking especially traditional menu. Unfortunately i havent made it as my extra income. Im not confidence with my cooking, not delicious as in cafe. But its a good idea if someday i can get extra money from cooking. Nice topic. Happy mylot

I think that is a good idea to earn money with one's hobbies. It will be a pleasure thing. Maybe i also can earn money using my hobby. However my hobby is reading adn sport. It is not easy to use them to earn money.

hi, im good at taking pictures ,so i want to ust it to earn my extra money ,good luck!

At the moment, yes I do. I am just starting so it's not really giving me very big income. I love to write; I just started my blog workingpinoys.blogspot.com I also join sites that reward me for writing. All of them I've also written in my blog. I feel fulfilled whenever I have enough time to do these things online.

way to go. More people should use things they enjoy. I learned a little craft item from my Mother years ago and now I sell them on ebay. Its not fast but I make a little extra money with it. Its fun and something I would do anyway and I would get overwhelmed with to many so thats why i tired ebay.

I have tried it when after reading the newspapers after how many months it can already be sold.

Well, I have hobbies but i don't think i consider them for an opportunity for business or money making because i have a lot of friends who are doing it already and if i compete then i would loose business. but i have a business now and it's doing good for a change.

I haven't tried it yet but I will. I have a rabbit and it's my hobby to take care of pets so I will try to find a mate for my rabbit and will breed it to sell it to a pet shop or someone who is interested in taking care of it.

hello lynne :-) i really don't although i wish i can, like my wife who works as a freelance writer too. i envy people who are able to use their talents to earn extra bucks. they are lucky people. it is just like having a profession that sounds like play to other people such as being a singer, basketball player. etc.

yup. i love crocheting, cooking and baking. my mother and i used to crochet some stuffs like coin purse for personal use. but we tried to sell them in market and it work. it's very fun to do this kind of stuffs and then the people will buy it and even though it's very tiring it gives us good income. i also cook pastillas and sell it. it's a candy made of powder milk and condense milk cook until it holds a form. once it is cooled, i rounded it into a ball and roll it in granulated sugar. it taste really good, you can try it too. :)

no.it is wrong
