Hobby jobs and side projects are, for most of us, often much more enjoyable than our 9 to 5 jobs. In an ideal world, you should be able to turn all your hobbies and passions into a source of income.

After all, this is the type of advice many online self-development "experts" will give you. They commonly say: "Just follow your passion!"

Well is it that simple?

Technically, but only technically, this is correct. Once you've become good at something, be that knitting, copywriting or video editing, there will be ways to monetise your skills.

Howevr, it's easier said done. And there will be times when you just can't become that good at something and expect to magically make money as a direct result.

If you're 5 foot tall and want to be a professional netball player :) let's face it, you won't be able to make a 'proper' job or income out of it.

And watching more games or reading about the history of this sport won't make you a world class player.

This goes for most of the areas which require talent, there are some things which we can learn and become proficient at. There are also things which require talent, the type of talent you are born with.

Without talent, you can't just learn how be a world class opera singer...

Even if you really, really want to.

Yes, but before we do that we should decide which of our hobbies can be, (realistically) made into profitable projects.

Not all freelance jobs are created equal and some are better than others when it comes to profitability.

How we can do that will very much depend on the type of hobby we have. However, there are some universal rules we will discuss here. We will be focusing on the online side of things.

If you can build an audience by sharing you hobby, you will most likely be able to monetise it. Let's say your hobby is **knitting**. You share your passion for knitting on YouTube.

In your videos you show your arts and crafts projects, patterns, and supplies.

Over a time you have built a following of 10,000. At this stage or perhaps even earlier, you will be able to start monetising your channel with adverts. You will also most likely get offers from various companies in the knitting niche asking you to review or promote their products.

Let's look at another example. This time let's say your hobby is videography.

Once you get proficient at making hight quality videos, you can start offering your skill as a paid service. If you have an audience, this will be much easier.

But even without an audience, you may start contacting companies, which you think could benefit from your skills, and offering them your services. Being able to work from home efficiently will be quite an important skill to develop here.

If you want to make money from your hobby, you'll have to start treating it a bit more seriously.

If you hobby involves making digital or physical products, you can definitely consider selling these either online or at various local markets etc.

The best place to sell your products would depend largely upon the type of the product you have.

But going back to our first example, if you're into knitting you may be able to sell your knitting patters as a digital download via a website. You could perhaps also sell the finished knitted products too.

If you are really good at your particular hobby or side project, you may consider sharing your skills.

There are many dedicated platforms which enable you to do that. Creating an online course has never been easier.

We hope you have found this post useful, and that it will help you to monetise your hobby if you so choose.

One important thing is to remember that you absolutely don't have to monetise you hobby. It's only an option you may want to consider. And do consider it carefully as making your hobby into a job can sometimes take some of the fun away. Especially if it will force you to focus on what's most profitable vs the part of your hobby which makes you happy.

Work from Anywhere in the World with Gambole

The Global Pandemic has made what we've been saying for years suddenly seem really relevant to a lot more people.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
I was Born in Moseley, Birmingham in the late 60's.

The world-famous, high-end department store Selfridges & Co. in Birmingham, England now sits on the site where I opened my first retail shop in the summer of 1987.

I was a lot younger than I am now, and it is safe to say that I also had a lot more hair and no wrinkles.

Since those early days I have ventured into numerous businesses and niches - and also had 'normal' jobs working for other people.

If you look for easy, your life will be hard

Throughout the years I have had business successes and losses - both big and some small.

It has never been 'easy', but the life of being my own boss is the life I love.
As a result I still invest in some conventional brick 'n' mortar businesses.

Focus on the desired outcome

Over the years, I have met numerous people who, although were earning good salaries, where still in negative debt and incurring credit card and bank overdraft charges each month.

They could not seem to break the cycle of what I call 'debt dependency'.
This is when I did what I have been doing in business for decades - I used available resources to view things from a different perspective. I changed their focus in order for them to achieve their desired outcome.

Work from anywhere and create a 2nd income

In all my years of entrepreneurship - the business model of Network Marketing is the best low-risk option for the vast majority of people to make a substantial side-income.

This income can be used to clear that negative debt I just mentioned.
The choice of company we directly work alongside, makes this the best 'follow and duplicate' business model I have come across.

Upgrade your thinking

Poor thinking habits keeps most people poor, or in unhelpful debt.
We are what we think about most of the time, and, if you are constantly thinking about debt, even if that thought is "I must get out of this debt" - you will manifest more unhelpful, negative debt.

Most business which I have started or been a part of, required large resources and start-up capital and an extended period before (hopefully), reaching profitability.
In contrast, Network Marketing requires little resources or start-up capital and there is no waiting period before profits can be made.

Positive mindset and attitude are critical

It starts with a thought and the decision to make a positive change.
You must have and develop the ambition, drive and habits to properly manage your debt long-term and once and for all end your negative debt-cycle and 'debt dependency'.

Don't let your past or present financial situation determine your financial future.

If you have learned to walk and talk then you can learn the skills required to get out of your unhelpful debt.
You can decide to decide right now and make the decision to contact me and create an opportunity to earn as much money as you set your own mind to earn.

Your opportunity for a debt-free life is straight ahead...
Yes, right there - on the other side of your doubts.

Whatever you decide, I wish you the best.

Many years ago while I was on holiday in Miami, Florida, I was asked 'What is a Gambole'.

More on the Miami story later, but for now here's the detailed explanation.
A gambole is a local vernacular or term, used predominantly by people born in Birmingham, West Midlands, England to describe a forward roll. Because gambol is a verb, it is usually preceded by the words such as do, did, done. In a sentence this would be said like this 'Go on then, do a gambole so we can see'.
Gambole Origins and Meaning

Now we understand what a gambole is, and also how to use the word gambole correctly, let us look at the history of the word.

The earliest recording of the word gambol, not gambole, was in the early 1500s.

The word gambol originally stemmed from the French word gambader derived from the French word gambade.

Gambader was in turn was derived from the Latin word gamba which means 'horse's leg or hock'.

The French verb gambader also translates into ' to gambole ' or 'to trip along', (move jauntily).

The verb form was later translated as: to caper, to caper about, to frolic about or to scamper about.

Nearly a century later, in the 1580s the word gambader was used as term which evoked: 'to skip about in sport'.

From the 1590s, gambol began to be used widely to describe 'frolic or merrymaking'.

It is unsure how the word gambol crossed the English Channel, turned into gambole, and found it's spiritual home in the West Midlands.

But, one thing for sure. When you do one, you realise that doing a gambole is indeed the closest thing to legally, frolicking or merrymaking.

An Interesting Fact about Gambole

Did you know there is only one road called Gambole Road in the whole country.

This uniquely named road is in Tooting, London and you can read more here.

Wait, Don't Gambole Outta Here - Keep Reading

I am a born and bred Brummie.

Hold up... wait a minute. (I'm showing my age now with that musical riff).

A Brummie is the colloquial term for someone born in the city of Birmingham in the West Midlands, England.

Birmingham?

Yes, the spiritual home of Peaky Blinders. Home of the shopping mecca known as the Bull Ring including Selfridges & Co.

Birmingham is also the place where brothers George and Richard Cadbury set up their chocolate empire in 1824.

Sixty years later John Dunlop invented the pneumatic tyre in 1888 and the rest, as they say, is history.

Bullring Bull Birmingham

As I said previously. I was born in Brum, shortened variation of the word Birmingham, in the late 1960s.

And it wasn't until the summer of 1999 whilst on holiday in Miami, Florida that I realised that not everyone knew what a gambole was. Up until that point I had taken it for granted that gambole was a universal term or word.

Back to the Miami Florida Story

I was in a nightclub just off South Beach Miami, Florida, USA.

The event was to celebrate the film premier of the Oscar winning movie American Beauty starring Kevin Spacey and Annette Bening.

American Beauty 1999

The evening was fabulous, and the drinks were flowing as you would expect.

During the course of the night, I ended up having a conversation with some Miamians about 'life'... as you do when you're partying on a big night out.

Miami Florida

One conversation led to another, and I casually mentioned how I had loved to gambole as a child and how it still felt liberating to do them from time to time as I had become older.

I was met by a blank expression.

"What is a gambole?" they said.

And, I then had to explain what one was. Albeit, an alcohol inspired explanation of a gambole, I hasten to add!

"Oh, is that a forward roll?"

"Yes." I said.

"So why not just call it a forward roll?" one person asked.

"Because it's a gambole!" I said...

That got me thinking. So when I returned to England I asked numerous people who lived outside of Birmingham if they knew what a gambole was.

And yes. You guessed it; most people didn't have a clue what a gambole was.

Also, moreover the conversation took on a familiar pattern:

"Oh, a g-a-m-b-o-l-e ... is it a forward roll?"

"Yes." I would reply.

"So why not just call it a forward roll?" the person would invariably ask.

"Because it's a g-a-m-b-o-l-e!" Obvs! Lol!
