I am making jewelry and have sold a little and hope to sell more. So far all I have done to sell is to wear some of it and tell people that I sell it when they comment on it. I also love to bake and would like to make extra money with a cottage bakeshop. To me, hospitality is almost a hobby [ love to make people feel special] and when we receive the money from our business we will e buying more property. We eventually hope to start an autistic community here [a few years off] but until then, if we find a slightly larger home I think I would like to move into the larger home and do an airbnb from there.
What are some fun, hobby like activities are you participating in for fun and money?

I have way too many hobbies and not enough time to do them, but have made some money over the years with several of them such as:
Stained glass windows and art
Woodworking, furniture and marquetry
Bonsai
Grafting fruit trees
Home renovations
Auto repairs, modifications and restoration
I have occasional dog sitting and dog walking jobs. I enjoy it plus it gives me extra exercise plus some money that is always useful. I will have a $300 one coming up which will pay for most of my winter tires which is fabulous. Easy work for some nice extra cash it is a win win situation for me
Yes. In fact, I made $320 in a little over one hour this afternoon. Unfortunately, not all of my afternoons are as fruitful, but I do average about $20-$25/hr.

... For years, I played music 3 dates / week, as a sideman, in various C&W dance bands in Central TEXAS; worked a full-time job during the day. The money was never really great, but the work was steady-enough to allow me to provide some small extras for the kids and wife-of-that-time. Got to meet some real Country Stars, too.
Once we retire, I'm hoping to return to doing some of that, again ... more like 3 dates / month (or less). ...
