How you can Monetise your hobbies, too
Over the years, I have been fortunate to make money from three passions: Music, Image, and Film. Today, I am writing this blog post to share how I managed to monetise my skills, make a living, achieve my goals, and impact others. Here are some of the topics that I will be covering today.
- Find out what or who will pay you
- Preparation Work
- Be aware of your surroundings
- Focus on comments and criticisms
- Adding your personal touches, be authentic
- A touch of purpose
Here is a little backstory
Back then, I had a dream. I was only 15 years old when I first picked up my guitar. Every day, I will lock eyes with the TV and watch my favourite band, Blink 182, on repeat. You guessed it. My dream was to travel the world and play on big stages with my band of musical brothers. As I grew older, the importance of having money in the bank to survive became the first and last thing on my mind.
Dang, it would be awesome to make a living out of this beautiful piece of wood.
I decided to put my dream on hold and take on the real-world problem first — money.
