Of course, you can start your hobby as a side hustle and then convert it into a money-making machine. You can make thousands of $$$ that too with your passion.

Now you will say, Is this possible?
Of course, it is possible.

So, I’m gonna share a roadmap with you in which you will get to know about the stages how can you start, what skills you have to learn, and how can they generate high income for you.

This roadmap is built up of 4 stages and when you complete all the stages then you can earn $$$ money. You have to understand each stage carefully. So without wasting time, let’s check out this article:

Stage 1 — Foundation

  1. SELECT YOUR BEST HOBBY
  • Self-Reflection: This includes the hobbies which you like the most, it can be reading, writing, cooking, traveling, yoga meditation, etc.
  • Explore: If you’re taking time to figure out your hobby or need help, then explore things.
  • Ask Others: You can ask others about which thing you should try.

After this make a list of at least 10 hobbies and then choose the one you want to do in which your passion lies.

2. LEARN BASICS

Now you have made a list of your hobbies on an Excel sheet. Now, it’s time to learn the basic things that you can learn from one of these mediums:

  • YouTube Videos
  • Blogs
  • Podcasts
  • Books
  • Free Courses

Choose your favorite medium and start learning. It takes almost 10–12 hours to learn the basics, no matter if you already know the basics. Because when you learn only then you can earn.

Stage 2 — Preparation

  1. FIND THE GAP

If you have basic knowledge of your skill then you will also ensure market demand. If you choose a skill that is in demand then how will you earn from it, you need to know this step because it is important. You need to identify the market gap. See what people want, what they’re searching for, what are their pain points. You can get to know from these tools:

  • Face to face

Now you have to make a list of 100 problems in the worksheet that your target audience is finding. By doing this, you can easily find and solve their issues.

It takes at least 6 months to a year to become good at any hobby, so don’t be in a hurry. Talk to people, ask them, and provide them with free solutions. When they are satisfied with your results they will continue with the payment plan.
