Earn Extra Cash With An Income-Boosting Hobby

Earn Extra Cash With An Income-Boosting Hobby
Frugality is an important part of good personal finance habits, especially when that means cutting back on the things you don’t care about to spend more on the things you do. But you can only cut back so far before life gets, well, kind of miserable. The other half of the equation many people miss is earning more. What could you do with a few hundred extra dollars, or more, every month?

Maybe you have a specific dream or goal, such as an Alaskan cruise or a new washing machine, or maybe you want to build an emergency fund in a high interest savings account or a CD ladder, but it’s taking too long to meet your goal. How can you speed up your progress?

Your hobby may be an overlooked source of additional income.

Hobbies as Money-Makers

You most likely have at least one or two activities you enjoy in your free time, but it can be difficult to transition your hobby into a side business. Use the following six guidelines from J.D. Roth at GetRichSlowly.org to get the ball rolling:

1. Focus on something you love. Take some time to think about what you’d enjoy doing, not what you think would make the most money. This is important with a side business because if you have a full-time job, you might be spending nights and weekends on your hobby, and you want it to feel more like fun than work. Otherwise, you’re bound to burn out.
2. Be creative. If you think your hobby could never generate side income, it’s time to get a little more creative. Write down a list of skills and activities you enjoy. Here are some examples of how a hobby or skill can turn into a side business:
   • Love to play the guitar? Perform at weddings or offer music lessons.
   • If scrapbooking is your thing, offer to create scrapbooks for busy moms or family reunions.
   • Got a green thumb? Help homeowners landscape or set up kitchen gardens.
   • Jewelry makers can have a shop up and running in no time thanks to sites like Etsy.
   • A seamstress can make one-of-a-kind baby clothes for high-end, local baby boutiques.
   • Computer-savvy people can help others set up their machines and run routine maintenance.
   • Fluent in a second (or third) language? Translate for a high-traffic blog or give English lessons to native speakers of one of the languages you speak.
3. Don’t force it. Sometimes a hobby isn’t meant to be a highly profitable business, but you can earn enough cash to support your hobby or generate a small income stream. If you try to force your hobby to be profitable, however, you might find that you’ve sucked the joy out of it.
4. Don’t underestimate your ability. You probably know more than you think you do. After all, a hobby is something in which you have a real interest. You’ve probably read industry news, followed blogs, researched products and materials, and spent hours of time on your hobby. A person who loves to bake might take for granted that anyone could make chocolate chip cookies, when in fact, plenty of people lack the time, while others might set the kitchen on fire. You might think anyone can do what you do, but many probably can’t, don’t have time, or would rather pay someone else to do it.
5. Market yourself. People shy away from selling themselves. It can be uncomfortable, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Make sure friends, family members, and acquaintances know what you do. Often an outgoing friend will sell you for you by talking you up to everyone he or she knows. People like to connect people with problems to people with solutions. Also, when you strike up conversations with potential customers, try not to think of it as selling something. Look at it as solving a problem. If you’re a seamstress and you’re talking to someone who is complaining that they’ve lost weight and their clothes no longer fit, offer to help with alterations. Remember, you are filling a need.
6. Hone your skill. If you want to have a successful side business, you have to continually improve your skills. This shouldn’t be too painful, since you’ve picked a hobby you love! Read books, take a class, go to trade shows, and talk with other people who share your hobby. Keep adding to your knowledge base.

Many people who want to improve their savings simply wait for their boss to give them a raise, or else they focus only on cutting back expenses. Often, using a hobby to make more money rates low on the list of financial priorities because it seems more complicated than, say, bringing lunch to work to cut back on eating out.

But it’s empowering to create an income stream, no matter how small. It can supplement a low income to make ends meet, make an expensive hobby affordable, give your online savings account a big boost, and give you the added security of diversifying your income. Plus, who knows where it might lead? Sometimes hobbies do transition to full-time jobs, and there’s nothing better than doing what you love, every day.

11 Creative Ways to Make Money Using YouTube

 

The next time your puppy chases your child’s pet frog, your baby has a funny look on their face, or you witness an unidentified flying object, you may be an upload away from YouTube fame and fortune.
 

“Thousands of people are cashing in on youtube“, reveals the Head of YouTube’s Partner Program, Bing Chen. Today, like never before, makeup enthusiasts, Pilates instructors, music DJ’s, and people from just about every walk of life are making money off of each viewing of their YouTube video.

What is so astonishing is that 99% of the most successful individuals on YouTube are the average everyday people who happened to have a bit of nerve, good timing, and talent thrown in for good measure.

So here’s our 11 Creative ways to make money online using YouTube.

How To Make Money Using YouTube


1 – Sell your own Products

 

The channel for fitness, Blogilates, and Pilates teacher Cassey Ho has 16 million views along with an e-commerce feature where she sells her own Pilate exercise clothing line and gym bags.

Cassey Ho says she makes a six-figure income now, all thanks to the #1 video sharing platform, “YouTube”.

 

 

 

2 – Tutorials

Michelle Phan is a 25 year old who creates makeup tutorials and teaches women how to purchase cosmetics. Miss Phan’s vivacious persona and sharp tutorials made her an instant sensation with over 3 million subscribers and more than 647 million video views.

Michelle Phan has been asked by Lancôme to become their authorized video makeup artist. She is just one of many that have made some serious cash from creating a successful tutorial youtube channel.

 

3 – Create a Series

 

Brother’s Benny and Raffi Fine made their You Tube “Kids React” series profitable. With over 360 million views, it is easy to see why. The videos show teens and children responding to pop-culture and other viral videos.

They have had so much success they can now afford to hire a team of ten employees to work with them.

 4 – Reviewing affiliate programs

An easier, faster and probably the most effective method of making money on YouTube is by promoting affiliate products and then linking them in your description field. To get guaranteed sales through this method, all you need is to show how the product is used to get results. This way you will be able to make a lot of sales.

 

 5 – Create a Hit Single!

South Korean sensation Psy showcased his song “Gangnam Style” on YouTube and the rest is history. Not only has he clocked up more than 7 million likes and over 1 and a half billion views, Justin Bieber’s manager has added Psy to his roster, his single reached pole-position in the iTunes charts in at least nine countries, and he’s now a multi-millionaire just from google ads on his YouTube video!

Teen artist, Rebecca Black also cashed in on her millions when her single “Friday” went viral on YouTube. She can thank TV host Jimmy Fallon after he shared her “Friday” video clip on late night TV across America resulting in a domino effect of stardom.

6 – Let your voice be heard!

Ted Williams was homeless and down on his luck until a fortunate encounter with a videographer from the Columbus Dispatch. Ted’s speaking voice was so mesmerizing, his YouTube video went viral. After more than 20 million YouTube views Ted has been on countless TV shows and offered voiceover work from well-known companies for TV commercials and radio.

So, if you have a voice with an interesting quality, tone, or twist to it, let it be heard!

 

 7 – Become A YouTube Partner

Currently there are more than 15,000 YouTube partners throughout the world, and online video advertising has reached a staggering $3.4 Billion in 2012; it is expected to reach over $5 Billion in 2013. Most of them make a career out of their videos, with some managing to make 6 figures or more in a year. Partners in this program share income generated from rentals and InVideo overlay ads. They also get opportunities to participate in branded entertainment openings. The YouTube partners are usually featured on YouTube’s homepage, meaning that they enjoy more views and more chances of making money.

It is important to note that, to get into YouTube Partner Program is not easy and requires one to gain subscribers even before applying for the program.

 

 

8 - Start A YouTube Competition

Mariah Carey’s Fan Club Remix proposed a remix competition to market a new song. There were 45,000 views within two weeks. The winner’s video claimed the 1st spot from 1,200 entries. Now, this individual has a career as a DJ and video-mixer due to YouTube’s exposure and the competition from the singer’s fan club.

If you can make your competition fun, exciting and with a great reward, you will be able to generate enough exposure for your project or company, so hit the drawing board and come up with a great, legitimate competition out there that will be a win win for you and your contestants.

 

 
9 - Sell Links In Your Video Description

 

Primarily, this method focuses on directing or converting YouTube visitors to another webpage or source. Here, you do not have to make ads in your videos to make money, just a link placement in the description box below.

Your main target is the small percentage of visitors that convert to real customers.

 

 

 

10 – YouTube Rentals

 

This is one of the most recent ways of making money on YouTube. In this method, content creators are allowed to offer their content for rent and then share a portion of the profits made with YouTube. However, YouTube has not yet clarified whether the service will be available to all or just certain types of users.

This will definitely provide a whole new method of making money on YouTube, as users will be charging rental fees for their videos.

 

 

 11 - Just Ask for It!

 

One good success deserves another, and exposure on YouTube helps to sanction start-ups, assisting them with raising the venture capital they need. In addition, YouTube has been assisting nonprofit organizations for fund-raising ventures as well.

The International Fund for Animal-Welfare and Greenpeace has worked with YouTube along with struggling filmmakers. If you are running a non for profit then this may be the platform for you, just make sure that the video is compelling and produced at a high enough quality to really present to the world your good cause.

 Summary

Overall, in order to build a following on YouTube the beginning video maker must frequently produce fresh work. This will keep curiosity seekers returning to see what’s new, which in turn spreads the word in cyberspace about what’s trending on YouTube. In addition, video novices must title their video so that anybody searching for its content will easily find it.
