Having
a hobby is a great way to spend time. It's also a great way to earn
money. Successful businesses often hinge on the passion of the
person. Gardening enthusiasts make a living as landscape architects
and floral designers. Animal lovers put up pet daycares or become
animal groomers for some additional cash. No matter how you look at
it, extra-curriculars can easily be translated into lucrative
money-makers.
“Starving
artists” don't necessarily have to starve. Whether you're a painter
or a Toronto commercial photographer, there always has been a
big demand for people who can design company logos, make web
graphics, take photographs, and so on. Thanks to the boom in
successful superhero movies, the comics industry is constantly on the
look-out for talented pencilers and inkers. Writers looking to earn
some good cash can opt to submit music and movie reviews to websites.
For
the “shop 'til you drop” kind of women, how great would it be to
spend someone else's money instead
of your own and earn a
little extra on the side? Many wealthy women and busy men are into
the habit of hiring personal shoppers. From picking out the perfect
dress for some fancy dinner party to grabbing groceries because the
client's stuck in all-day meetings, personal shoppers are paid very
well for their taste, their time, and their worn-out feet.
For
the hopeless perfectionist, why not spread your gift of
color-coordination and impeccable organization with people who just
can't seem to get their lives in order? For a price, of course.
Personal secretaries are often paid by the hour just to keep track of
their client's appointments and meetings for the month. Event
organizers are in high demand, especially for those special functions
that just cannot be
messed up (think debuts, reunions, sweet sixteens, etc.,). If you've
got the mind for names, dates, numbers, prices, and places, then you
should seriously consider getting paid for it.
Whatever
you enjoy doing in your spare time, turning it into a business may
be
your ticket to financial freedom and success. Open a bakeshop and
sell those lovely creations from your oven. Start an online store for
all those extra clothes and books that you keep buying. Start a
Toronto product photography service
and get paid for snapping shots. Make your passion your profession,
and you'll never have to work a day in your life.
