Woodworking
This could be a real earner as people love to buy handmade boxes, tables, bookshelves and all sorts of decorative wooden items.
Wood-burning
If you enjoy wood-burning as a hobby, then you should advertise your services as it is a popular decorative feature that most people don’t know how to do themselves.
Arts and Crafts
Similar to woodworking but involving literally anything and everything else you can think of! If you enjoyed making it, then chances are people will enjoy owning it. You can even open your own web-stores on sites such as Etsy, eBay and Amazon.
DIY
For everyone who loves a bit of DIY, there are probably thousands if not more who don’t like it at all. Advertise yourself as a local handyman and make some money while practicing and honing your skills!
Yard Sale Shopping
If you enjoy rummaging through the goods at a yard sale then try applying a more professional eye and seek out items you can buy and then ‘flip’ for a better price at another sale.
Writing and Editing
There are so many possibilities to make money from writing such as editing and proofreading, as well as selling your own writings on self-publishing platforms such as Amazon and Good Reads.
Baking
Baking offers the unique possibility of selling your creations to local cafes and bakeries.
Photography
The enjoyment of photography often comes from capturing a perfect moment, and those perfect moments can be valuable to the likes of media outlets, stock photo websites and businesses.
Playing Video Games
Video gaming has evolved more in the last few years then it did in the previous couple of decades. There‘s real money to be made now by streaming your expert efforts on sites like Twitch and YouTube.
Reviewing and Reacting
An interesting recent development is the popularity (and thus money-making possibility) of online video reviews and reactions. There’s a bit of pot luck about this, but review something of a genre you’re already interested in and knowledgeable of and your own personal angle just might take off.
Painting
You love to paint but are running out of places to hang your art? Then start selling it!
Decorating
If you have a passion for creating ideal home comforts, then make your skills available to others by starting an interior design and decorating business.
Making Clothes
Not everybody wants to buy famous labels and known brands. There are many folks who prefer to buy from independent clothes makers, which you could be if you advertise your creations for sale.
Sports Coaching
If that dodgy knee won’t let you run around quite as much as you used to, then apply your knowledge of the game to coaching instead.
Sports Officiating
Local sports are often crying out for officials to ensure they can organize the games properly, so this is an avenue worth exploring for anyone interested in facilitating sports.
Travel Blogging
Traveling is one of the best things someone can do with their life, and it gets even better when you get paid for it! Travel blogging can be quite lucrative these days so start exploring those possibilities as you plan your next trip.
Dancing
Have you spent years perfecting a particular dance? Then earn some fun money by teaching others to dance it too.
Playing Music
If you can play an instrument, then you can teach someone else to play the instrument. Ensure your skills are up to standard and you have whatever qualifications you need, then start earning some good money.
Yoga
This isn’t recommended for anyone who has only taken a few yoga classes, but if you have reached the point where you no longer need instruction for your yoga routines, then perhaps it’s time to start a business teaching your knowledge to others.
Driving
If you enjoy driving, then earn money by becoming a professional driver with Uber or Lyft.
Growing Fruit and Vegetables
Lots of people love to buy locally grown produce, so with enough yard space you can turn your love of gardening into a business!
