Love What You Do


Is it possible to make money from your hobby? Aubrey Wilson
says it is. She’s a business advisor. She helps small
businesses grow.
“Start with a question. What do I like doing?” Aubrey says.
“It’s important you enjoy it because a business becomes your life.
In a small business, you often work long hours! Look at what
other people do. Go online and find people who make money
from your hobby. How do they do it? Don’t copy them, but get
good ideas. Next, plan your own business. Decide what you need.
Perhaps your hobby is video gaming—you need an online channel
so people can watch you play, and you make money from ads.
Or perhaps you like going to concerts. How about a business that
plans trips to concerts? You give people a great day out and make
money at the same time. There is always a way to start a business
from your hobby. You need to find it and then work hard.”
