Two of my hobbies I made some money from. One was a long time ago when I made baskets that could be used formats anything. I used old Ice Cream Cartons from Baskin And Robbins, they gave them to me free.

I then “prettied” them up by painting designs an with ribbons on them. Sold them mainly at Christmas Time. I figured after various paints, ribbon, glue other items I made a whopping profit on them of around $7 or $8 each.

I also have self published and sold my books of poetry which my profit was very little, more a labor of love.

我有两个爱好,我怕凭此赚了一些钱。一个爱好是很久以前,我能用各种各样的篮子。我用的是 Baskin & Robbins 的旧冰淇淋盒,免费得来的。

然后我把它们 “美化 “了一下,在上面画上图案,再加上丝带。主要在圣诞节时出售。我计算了一下,在除去各种颜料、丝带、胶水等物品的成本之后,我赚到了惊人的利润什么爱好能挣钱什么爱好能挣钱,每个篮子大约7或8美元。

我也曾自行出版和出售我的诗集,但利润很少,更多是一种爱好。

My hobbies:

Drawing

Playing Piano

Writing online on Quora

Tinkering and creating stuff.

So far, I have not made any money out of them. I plan not to anyway. I would rather have my hobbies aid/boost my potential career or well-being than to try to earn little money. Even so, I do not plan to make my hobbies a career, so, of course, I would not attempt to try to earn any money out of them. In addition, to start a business based on my hobbies would mean that I would have to sacrifice a lot of my time to maintain my business, create my products, figure out the pricing of the resources needed, etc. to which I do not have the time to spare right now (I am currently attending college).

我的爱好。

绘画

弹钢琴

在Quora上回答问题

修补和制作东西。

到目前为止,我还没有从这些东西中赚到任何钱。我也没打算靠它们挣钱。但我希望我的爱好对未来的职业和工作有所帮助。即便如此,我也不打算把我的爱好当作职业,因此,我当然不会试图从这些爱好中赚取任何金钱。此外,以我的爱好为基础创业将意味着我必须牺牲大量的时间来维持我的业务,发展我的产品,核算所需资源的成本,等等,而我现在没有时间来做这些事情(我目前正在上大学)。

I make glass window hangings out of vintage windows and vintage glass. I also do needle felting and painting. Additionally, I grew up with parents who had a side interior design business, so I’m fairly good at decorating.

I mostly create things for gifts and for my own pleasure. On several occasions I’ve been commissioned to make things and I was begged by a friend who owns an event house to host a paint night at her venue. Friends have offered to pay me to help them decorate their homes (I always say no to pay, but will give them advice).

Here’s the odd thing that I’ve found, once commerce enters in, my hobby is no longer a hobby—it’s a job. It has timelines and deadlines and critiques. There’s no more getting lost in the pleasure of creating when I’m working to please someone else. I prefer to make things for the pleasure of it, or for gifts to the people I care about. It’s nice to know that I can make money off of the things I make, if need be, but I’d rather just have fun with it.

我用复古窗户和复古玻璃制作玻璃窗挂件。我还做针线活和绘画。此外,我在父母身边长大,他们有一个副业是室内设计,所以我相当擅长装饰。

我搞创作主要是为了给别人送礼物和自己的乐趣,有几次我被委托制作东西,一个朋友恳求我在她的房子里举办一个绘画之夜。朋友们提出付钱给我,让我帮助他们装饰屋子(我总是拒绝酬劳,但会给他们建议)。

我发现一个奇怪的现象,一旦涉及到金钱,我的爱好就不再是一个爱好了,而是一份工作。它有日程、最后时限和要求。当我为了取悦别人而工作时,就无法再沉浸在创作的乐趣中了。我更喜欢为了快乐而做东西,或者为了给我关心的人送礼物。如果有这个必要的话,我可以从爱好中赚钱,但我宁愿只是从中获得乐趣。
