Hobbies
such as photography, pottery, and gardening can all be turned into money-making
activities. If you have a hobby, chances
are good there is someone out there willing to pay for what you produce. Suzanne is a professional photographer. There are numerous websites out there
dedicated to selling digital photographs as stock images.
You
could also pick up a little extra jingle by selling your services as a
semi-professional photographer. Your
would-be customers should be advised that you will do the best job you can, but
you are not yet a professional and might not get the exact shot they desire,
An
upfront, non-refundable deposit should be charged to offset any expenses you
incur getting to the event, etc.
If
you can start plants from seeds or cuttings, you may be able to start plants
and sell them to nurseries and greenhouses in your area that cannot keep up
with the demand.
Do you like to read?
You could proofread manuscripts.
Let’s face it, most new books could really use a good proofreader.
Do you like to sew?
Many people who are on a budget, but who cannot find modest clothes that
fit, would love to find someone who is interested in making an outfit or two
for them without breaking the bank.
Yes, if you are going to make a living as a tailor you need
to charge professional prices. However,
if your customers are willing to accept a few imperfections while you learn,
why not charge them a little less? Your
clients should understand upfront that you are not yet a professional, but you
will give them the best product you can in the meantime.
You should require a non-refundable deposit upfront in an
amount sufficient to cover your costs of materials and supplies. If your customer does not want the finished
article, you have not lost money on the deal.

I would like to proofread, but all the companies I looked at required a Master in the subject area :(
