Blogging is one of my favorite hobbies that I’ve been doing for a while. This one isn’t going to get you extra income overnight. Unless you are extremely lucky or already have a huge platform on another social media network, this will most likely take time. Although Pink and Pineapple has been in existence since 2020, I’ve only been intentional in 2022 about blogging consistently and have just now started earning a small extra income. But it’s so worth it! Once you learn how to utilize SEO, Social Media, and Analytics, watching your blog grow each month is so satisfying! On average bloggers make $39,000-$50,000 a year!

This is another hobby that isn’t going to earn you extra income overnight, but if it’s something you love to do then it’s worth a shot. Building your Youtube is a lot like building a blog. You’ll want to form a community. The awesome thing about technology these days is that you don’t have to spend an arm and leg on a special camera. Most of the latest smartphones and computers have quality cameras. Consider your audience. What do you love to talk about? True Crime? Psychology? Yoga? Business? Cooking? Who do you think your audience will be Gen Z? Millennials? Women? Men? Considering all of this will help you have a jump start before you start your channel.

Think planners, notebooks, greeting cards, or printable art. If you’re well versed in Photoshop or Indesign (or even really good at Canva), you could easily start earning money by selling your products on an Etsy account.
