Sounds like a commercial for selling gold.  But, I’m here as a cheerleader, encouraging women to turn a hobby that you enjoy into money in your pocket!!  I know you can do it, because I have, and if I can do it, you can do it!

Everyone is good at something. 

And everyone has at least one hobby they enjoy doing.

So why not capitalize on that hobby?

For me, I enjoy writing.  I started college with a major in Journalism, before deciding half way through Freshman year that I loved both Political Science and Communication.  I often regret that decision.  So….I’ve turned my hobby into something more.

Although not my full time career, I truly enjoy writing.  A few years ago, I worked hard getting a couple sample pieces together to send to editors.   After a lot of effort, I got in as a freelancer for some local magazines.  I would have done the work for free!  The fact that they paid me was an added bonus. 

Although the pay was small at first, writing now is a real part of my income, paying for a car payment and some spending money each month. 

If your talent is making cakes, I encourage you to start making cakes for a profit.  Sell them to friends, family, or neighbors. 

Can you knit or sew?  Take it to the  next level by marketing and selling your craft. 

Two success stories I’ve written about, Julie and Megan, both are great examples of two women who chose to take their talent to the next level and earn a profit by sharing it with the world. 

Like to clean (ok, who really likes to do that, but maybe you do?) then start a side business as a part time cleaner.  Love kids?  Consider watching additional kids in your home or on the weekends.  Are all your friends always saying how well decorated your home is?  Market yourself as a part-time interior decorater.

Whatever it is you enjoy, find your God-Given talent (which we all have) and share it with the world!!
