In this article we give you 3 great tips on how to earn money on your hobby. And if you do not already have a hobby that you can earn money on, this article can be used as an inspiration to get you ;-)

Make money to convey your knowledge

When you have a hobby, it's typically something you get very much into. And when you get very much into something, you usually get very well with it over time.

If you have become so good at your hobby that people will pay money to learn from you, then you have a good opportunity to create an income.

There are lots of places on the web, where you can publish online courses, ebooks or hold workshops on exactly the subject you are good at. You may not expect that there are quite a few who will listen to you, but believe it or not, there are more than you think!

An example of a place where you can earn money to convey your video is WeTeach.dk, where teachers can produce their own video courses and publish it on the platform.

It has Johanne, who is very good at crocheting, for example. done and you can see her hedgecourse here .

If you do not mind teaching English, Udemy.com is also a great place to publish your own online courses.

Become an affiliate

If you have a hobby that you share with the outside world through your blog, then it might be an idea to start as an affiliate and engage in affiliate marketing.

Affiliate marketing basically means that you link to a vendor, via eg. your blog If the person who clicks on the link buys something from the supplier, you get a portion of the cake.

For example, if you love to paint and blog about this, so you can link in the posts to the products you use in your paintings and those who click on to buy the same products, you can get a commission for them.

An example of an affiliate page is cheap-broadband.nu , which compares broadband. Every time cheap-bredbånd.nu matches a customer with a broadband product that suits the customer's needs, cheap-bredband.nu gets a commission.

Become influences

If you do not have a website or blog, but instead share your hobby on instagram, youtube or facebook, you also have the opportunity to earn a little shilling.

You can earn money on your followers by becoming an influencer. An influencer is a person that people look up to and follow, and if you use a particular product and recommend it, there is some chance that those who follow it will also buy it.

It is well known to the companies and therefore they are willing to pay you to use their products.

You probably think you have to have a lot of followers to be influenced, but that's not the case.

Indeed, there are also those called micro-influencers , which are influencers within niche topics, which do not necessarily have many followers, but which, in turn, affect a specific target group very accurately - which is extremely interesting to most companies.
