The above picture was taken by me at my apartment complex when a friend discovered she wanted to relive her high school graduation days and take "senior" pictures. We had a blast and I realized I make a good photographer too!! I enjoy doing lots of things as I consider my self a jack of many trades but taking these pictures awakened a different kind of feeling that I had not experienced in other endeavors (except real estate). I do not know what will come of this, heck it may end up just being a fun little hobby and a great way to help some friends who enjoy taking pictures or it could become a business. Either way I thank God for allowing me to discover fun facts about myself. Each day he reminds me of how special I am.
Do you have any talents that most don't know about? Would you make a business out of something you considered a hobby? What ideas have you come up with to make extra cash?
I would love to someday sell baked goods.
ReplyDeleteBut I've also thought of crochet/knit crafts too!
Both are things I enjoy and am pretty good at!
Photography is a great hobby and deffinetly something that you can make a little extra money and have fun with! Go for it! Give it a try!! :)
I crack up laughing at all the things that people say that I should go into business doing. I am just not motivated enough to get the stuff done, nor do I have the funds to get the dreams started.

nellyru I can make a mean chocolate box cake lol. Other than that im hopeless in that area. You would be amazed at how businesses started out as hobby turned millions!
ReplyDeleteTiffany it doesn't cost a lot to get up n running, throw some ideas at me and lemmie see what I could come up with!
Actually, I have two hobbies that I really enjoy. With one of my talents, I used to make quite a bit of money.
ReplyDelete1) Baton Twirling instructor. Some of my college tuition was paid by the university for me to twirl on their squad. (I'm not kidding). 100 years ago, I was a state & regional baton twirling champion. During my college days I would travel throughout Tennessee and teach at twirling camps during the summer. I made between $20 - $40 bucks an hour, which was much better than working at a fast food restaurant. Over the years, I have taught on and off to make extra cash. In fact, I just submitted a proposal to a high school last week to teach a private camp. If it works out I'll make $1,250 for 24 hours of instuction (4 day camp). I really miss twirling so I hope I get the job.
2) Selling things on Ebay. It's a great way to make some extra cash.
Wow that's a lot of money!! And a super cool talent! I will be keeping you in prayer for that job. I have no idea why I'm so intimidated by eBay, I could never bring myself to go through the process of selling something. I do wichita I would get over the fear because I could get debt free selling all my moms stuff lol.
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting!
I love writing! I would love to be able to make a living at it.
ReplyDeleteOne good thing about photography is that there are a lot of things you can do with it. I know a guy that started with a hobby in photographer and he just had a photo show in Downtown Detroit last winter. He loves it. Don't know how much he makes from it now, but he is really building a reputation for itself.
ReplyDeleteI am kind of doing my dream right now with writing. It is something I always thought of doing, but I have no idea if anyone likes what I write! That's what is great about the internet, you can put things out to the public very inexpensively.
Good luck!!!
I love to write as well !! I had one "real" book idea and some day I may start contributing too it but im not sure how people would respond to it.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to write all the funny things that have happen through my everyday living. Its always funny how I make an ordinary day turn interesting. It would be cool to put that into a book form. I might start it here on the blog to test drive it even!!
ah the birth of an idea!
