Hobbies generally end up in the expense category. Depending on the hobby, you may be paying for equipment, supplies, books and magazines, classes, training--the list goes on. Short of turning your hobby into a business, is there any way to get your hobby to pay its own way? Very possibly.

Unclaimed Property consists of cash and other personal assets that are considered lost or abandoned after an owner cannot be located within a specified period of time. This property may be cash, bonds, stocks, gift certificates, and contents of safety deposit boxes (jewelry, documents, etc.) The amazing thing about unclaimed property is that it is just that – unclaimed. It still belongs to the rightful owner, and by law, all they need to do is ask for it to regain possession. But how does one go about finding out about it in the first place?

Execution is the key to good business. Money-making ideas are rampant, but it's the people who actually take the time and energy to execute those ideas that are the world's next entrepreneurial geniuses. If you like going to night clubs and are a decent schmoozer, here's a potentially big money-making idea for you. It has a capital investment of nothing but time, patience and charm, and a potential payout of a few thousand dollars a weekend:

My job is crazy one week and snail-slow the next. During the slow times, it's easy to get sucked into the web, clicking from one page to the next, waiting for someone to have a fire that I need to put out (that's what I do--put out those proverbial fires). So I've found some things that are fun to do and that make me feel productive at the same time.

Google is launching a business referral program, which means that you can earn $10 for every verified business listing that you send Google. You basically go to local businesses, tell them a bit about Google, take down some info, take some digital photos, and submit the information to Google. Kind of like Yelp, only you don't get to give much of an opinion, and you actually get cash in return.Posted August 6, 2007 - 05:21 by Linsey Knerl
Hi, my name is Linsey, and I’m a sweeper. It is sometimes difficult to admit, but I belong to that persistent group of individuals who go to considerable lengths to enter sweepstakes. I also win fairly regularly. My recent winnings include a bicycle, a home automation system, 2 satellite radios, hotel stays, cell phones, gift cards, cash, DVD’s, spa visits, clothing, baby items, video games, gaming systems, office supplies, a digital camera and printer, a trip to San Francisco, and so much more! Winning is more about knowing than anything else, so I’m going to give you the basics to get started. You can’t win if you don’t enter!Posted July 25, 2007 - 06:21 by Linsey Knerl
Most online shoppers I know are very familiar with Ebay and Amazon. The problem is that the hardcore Ebayers are not very familiar with the Amazon Marketplace. Those faithful to Amazon third-party sellers are put off by Ebay. By carefully studying the markets of both retailers, it is possibly to not only get the best deal, but make some money in the process!Posted July 12, 2007 - 10:57 by Jonathan Bender
Lunch hour has become recess, a chance to unwind and play a little bit. But it doesn't have to be. Those 45 minutes every day can be the reason you go to work and just the time you need to make some major changes in your life. Get ready to give a whole new meaning to the term lunch money.

Like most jobs low on the totem pole in entertainment, TV/movie extra work (or "Background Acting") pays practically nothing. But it (can be) fun, it's (mostly) easy, you get fed, and the amount of time you actually spend "working" is minimal. If you're unemployed in LA, like meeting new people, have a car to get around, and want to get an arm, the back of your head, or a shoulder on your favorite TV show or the next blockbuster movie, this might be the job for you!Have more to say?
