Home Recording
I used to have a little recording studio in my home office. I would do all kinds of things with it and a number of them could have been real money- makers.
Start a Studio
One thing you could do with a home recording studio is, of course, hire yourself out to local bands. You charge a reasonable rate to let them come in and record their music. For some fantastic information on this, I recommend the Studio Business Book by Jim Mandell, it’s got tons of information on setting up a successful studio.
Become a Sttudio Enginer
Many professional studio engineers started out with their own home recording studios. You learn about running the equipment on your own equipment, and then apply for an intern position at a medium sized studio. After you’ve worked in the environment for a while, you can move up the chain, so to speak, and begin working for larger and larger studios. Eventually, you can even work your way into a producer role with a major recording label.

Home Improvement
If you really enjoy doing home improvement type projects, why not hire yourself out as a “handy man”? You can make pretty good money and you get to do projects you enjoy.
Become a Contractor
Still another option is to become a full- fledged contractor. You bid for jobs on different projects and either perform the work yourself, or hire contract labor to do the work, while you keep a nice piece of the pie.
If you’re really good at one particular aspect of home improvement rojects, ie. Wall paper, flooring, grout, etc., you could hire yourself out as a specialist in that particular area. This is more or less a “specialist handy man” idea, but there are a lot of people who get up and go to work each day doing their own thing in the home improvement arena.
Produce How-To Videos
Still another idea is to produce your own how-to videos or manuals. This is pretty easy to do. All you need is a camera, a computer, and some editing software. Then, put your video out there for the entire world to see. You don’t even have to have them mass-produced anymore, you can just go to: http://www.CustomFlix.com/Index.jsp?ref=42810
and they’ll press your DVD on demand, meaning you don’t pay for it until
somebody orders it. How cool is that?!

History
History is one of those areas where one can spend their whole life studying the lives of those that have come before us. Depending on whether you’re a Creationist, or an evolutionist, you have thousands to billions of years worth of history to study. So why not figure out a way to make your living in the library?
Author
One of the best ways to make money with history is to write about it. If you’re something of an expert on the War of 1812, then write a book or report about it. Let others who have an interest in your area come to you for answers. I use the author example a lot in this book because it’s really the fastest and easiest way to start making money on just about any hobby.
Become a Speaker
Once you’re written your book, you could expand into the speaking circuit. This is an extremely lucrative field. You start out by giving simple presentations to peers, and before long, you could be producing a special for The History Channel.
Become a TV Producer
Which brings us to our next idea. Become a video/TV producer. You develop a documentary on your favorite subject area, pitch it to a TV station, or produce a video tape version then sell it. Have you ever bought a video on one of your favorite history subjects? Odds are you have. Well, what if you could be the one getting the check? That’s the whole idea here. There are hundreds of books on video production and script writing. Buy one, learn how it’s done and start letting the rest of us know about the war!

Gardening/Landscaping (general)
I absolutely hate mowing my lawn. I have tons of what I think would be great ideas for landscaping, but I just don’t have the eye for good landscape design. So, what can I do to remedy this situation? Pay you to do it for me!
Become a Landscape Consultant
If you’ve got a green thumb, then people like me want to talk to you. We don’t know what plants are going to look good in our garden. What’s the best lowmaintenance vegetation to put around a walkway in my back yard? How do I keep weeds from taking over the side of my house that never gets used? If you know the answer to these questions, then, for goodness sake, share with those of us who do not. Open a landscaping business and give us a hand. We’ll pay you for it!
Start a Landscape Maintenance Business
If you don’t have a good eye for design but you do know the best time of year to put down rye grass, then consider opening a landscape maintenance business. Basically, you don’t do design, you just maintain a design that someone else has already done and put in place. This could also include seasonal work, such as mowing services, which are great money- makers. How many 13-year-old kids go pushing their lawnmower around the neighborhood to try and drum up some cash for the summer? Lots! How many full-time lawn maintenance businesses flake out half way through the season? In my experience, lots! Just get yourself out there. If you provide a good service for a reasonable rate, people will pay you to do something you already enjoy doing.

Coin/Currency Collecting
Coin and currency collecting is a huge hobby in which several thousand people participate. For the person looking to make some extra income from this popular pastime, this means that you have a very large potential market. Her are some thing you could do to profit from this goldmine.
Become a Dealer/Broker
Become a coin dealer. While this may sound a bit expensive, and it certainly can be, it’s not really all that difficult. If you don’t personally have the cash, you can start out by brokering deals to other interested hobbyist. Pick up a coin collector’s magazine and contact people who are already dealers to find out what they have for sale, then, place your own ad in these magazines. When people call, and they will, just put a deal together. Charge a modest fee for finding what the buyer is looking for, then watch the money start rolling in.
Open a Catalog Service Busiiness
Still another way you can get your start is to offer cataloging services to dealers and collectors. For a small fee, you will put together a catalog of someone’s collection of coins or notes. It’s a fun way to spend a lot of time working with something you enjoy.
And yet another way is to act as a proxy bidder for a collector. Attend auctions in your area and bid on behalf of the dealer or collector you’re under contract for.

Fishing
So you love putting a hook in the water. Nothing thrills you more than getting up at 4 AM on a Sunday morning and heading down to the lake. Now, you’re wondering how you could possibly make money from this passion.
Become a Fishing Guide
One of the all time best and least expensive ways to make money fishing is to become a fishing guide. You take people to the best spots and help them fill their boat with fish. My brother, father, and I like to take an “annual” fishing trip together about every 2 years. We always have a great time, but we never catch anything. So, we’ve decided that next time we’re going to hire a guide so we can catch something. The guide’s job is know their particular lakes so well that they can guarantee fish. You’re job is to become the best fisherman on the lake and then show other people where to go. The best part is, people will pay you good money to do this.
Become a Fishing Gear Consultant
Another way to charge a fee is to become an equipment consultant. This is just a fancy way to say you’re the guy who shows people the best equipment to use,for a fee. If you could combine this service with your guide service and enhance your income in incredible ways.
Become a Fishing Video Producer
Still another way to make money is to become a video producer or TV show host. When I was a kid my father loved to watch fishing shows. There was a former pro who went around to different lakes and showed people the best way to fish it. The video can go one step further. Say, for example, you produce a simple video on fishing lake “catch a fish” You work out a deal to sell it in the local bait shop. When newbies like us come into the shop we see the video and plunk down our $20. You get paid!

Fashion Design
Fashion is what keeps us all looking good (well, except for the 1970’s, what were we thinking?). It’s what draws us to each other, what keeps us feeling good about ourselves. In a way, fashion does make the world go ‘round. Since you’re reading this section in greater detail, I assume you have an interest in fashion, so let’s go…
Become a Designer
You could become a fashion designer. It’s not as difficult as you might think. If your designs are cool, they will take off. How many stories have you read about some previously unknown designer who suddenly became all the rage? If you actually think about it, weren’t ALL fashion designers “previously unknown” to some extent? They certainly didn’t start out at the top. So, you too can be a designer. So get out your drawing pad and start developing those templates!
Become a Buyer
If you can’t draw, won’t draw, don’t want to draw, but you still love fashion, why not become a fashion buyer? Get your start at a department store and let your talents grow from there. Or, better yet, why not start your own store. The concept is simple. You know fashion, so you’ll open a store that takes the shopping hassles out of your customer’s way. This way, they come, pick out which color they want, pay you, and then leave. Again, department stores didn’t start out as corporate monoliths, they started out as simple family shops. You could do the same thing.
Become a Dealer/Rep For New Designers
If you lack the capital to get your own store going, perhaps you could become a dealer for an up and coming designer. You contact department store buyers and try to get the fashion in the store. Not too difficult, low start up cost (all you have to do is find the designer) and, most importantly, FUN! An easy way to get started would be to go to mom and pop shops and start the next craze there

Cigar Tour Travel Agent
Start a travel agency that specializes in Cigar haven tours. This is a little more involved, but still very doable. If you know anyone in the travel industry, you could try to partner up with them to put these tours together. You would do all of the advertising, they would handle the bookings, and then you split the profits. All you have to do is advertise of your trips in local, regional, or national cigar magazines.
Mas Merchandising
Obtain merchandising rights from manufacturers and sell novelty items with the logos. This is another staple idea that you will see over and over again in this book. Contact the manufacturers and ask about their licensing requirements for using their logo. Make them a deal where they will get XX% of the gross sales and you will do all the work and assume all the risk. It’s great for the company because they make money. It’s good for you because you make money, and it’s good for the customer’s because they get something they want, like a poster with all of the different sizes and types of Davidoff cigars.
Retailler
Oh, and every cigar lover’s fantasy… Open a cigar store. A couple of fellow “cigar-philes” and I have talked about doing this for years. After doing some research, we determined that, in our area, it would take about $30-50K to get it opened the way we want to do it. It’s still in the development stages, but I assure you, I will open a cigar store in the near future.

Doll Collecting
If you love dolls, something I personally have no interest in, but I can still show you how to make money from it, you could do a number of things to get paid.
Collection Exhibit
You could showcase collections. Either your own, or someone else’s. Charge a nominal fee for view the collection, pay a royalty to the collector you’re showcasing (or to yourself), and keep the profits. How’s that for simple. Look in doll magazines and find collections that that are being featured, then contact the owner and find out if you can license their collection for a tour or showing.
Become a Dealer/Broker
You could also become a dealer/broker. Putting buyers and sellers together. Or, you could write a book on a specific famous collection. Again, contact the owner and tell them you’d like to write a book about their collection, they make money from royalties off the book sales, you make money from royalties and other collectors get to see something that they will find very exciting.
