My favorite hobby is reading. Since books are so expensive, I sell my books to Powell's books online for store credit. I then buy books from them with the credit. It's worked out really well.
Well, I just started doing this with some guidance from another pro, but I'm find it really hard to use the tracking tools to measure what I sweepstakes I have entered. So far, all I have managed to do is accidentally subscribe to Woman's Day.
I recently got married and have a lot of wedding decor stuff lying around. I made it all myself (it was a DIY wedding) and am now selling it on Etsy!
Who says arts & crafts is just a hobby? It can be a little side job!
I was at a steakhouse last week that charged me $85 for a 16 oz. steak that I found in the supermarket the very next day for $14.99. Am I really supposed to pay $70 more for a steak that is aged 30-60 days? Why not buy 5 steaks at $15 a pop and age them myself?! I don't understand it and you are right steak is greatly overpriced by restaurants.
Hello! A great trick is to use chicken stock while preparing ground beef for hamburgers. Just add a couple of spoons of stock over the meat while its being fryed...
I love dogs but I don't have one of my own, so I moonlight as a dog-walker and dog-sitter for a few families around town. I get to cuddle with cute dogs, go for long walks, and make some supplemental income on the side!
I applied to an add on craigslist for an RV. Gave them my physical address. Was told that I'd be hearing from eBay motors. Was not asked for any money. It's been 4 days and I have not heard from either parties. I have never done this before. Should I be concerned for my safety or does the whole process take this long?
My favorite hobby is baking and I sell chocolate chip cookies in festive tins for all holidays and also sell decorated cupcakes, various flavors, the lemon ones are a huge seller.
I just started making money from two of my hobbies: hockey and piano. In both cases it just kind of came up.
For hockey, I would arrive to play in the local league and a skating class always used the rink before us. One day they were short an instructor and asked if I could help out. I agreed and took over half the group. Now I have my own class, usually adults, and it is fun to teach people my age who have never been on skates before.
For piano, I often play in the lobby at work during my lunch hour. Way to relax and actually play a piano because I only have a keyboard at home. A new coworker came up to me, said she had just moved to town and asked if I would be interested in teaching her child to play. They had started piano lessons before they moved and were having trouble finding a new teacher in the new city. I agreed, at least temporarily and its been 2 years now. I have only taken on one other student in that time frame though, trying not to just burn myself out and make me hate my own hobbies.
I make money from my beading hobby. I sell beaded jewelry at festivals and craft shows, and also at teaching classes on beading jewelry (usually we make a bracelet in class). Sometimes, I can do pretty well at both things.
No, my hobbies all cost money. But my crafty hobbies allow me to indulge myself in jewelry/stationery/etc. for far less money than if I bought someone else's work.
I crochet on the side. The biggest challenges I've come across have been knowing how much to charge, and feeling pressure to finish orders in just a few days because I don't want to make customers wait. Occasionally, I've had people ask me to make things, they don't want to pay for.
I do think that Horizon milk and dairy products are the best
generally available, ie, Walmart, Kroger and similar big chains.
I don't trust the store brand organic products, and the other products obviously defend their right to have antibiotic (in the final product), HGH in their product and pesticides in their products.
I had hoped that Horizon let their cows be in pastures for a certain amount of time, and still want answers on that. There seems to be no proof or information about whether they are in the pasture or not.
Routine dental x-rays when there is no sign of periodontal disease is not recommended as this needlessly exposes you to radiation. do the research and you'll see numerous credible sources calling for an end to x-rays, which many dentists push simply to pay back the cost of expensive x-ray machines in the office.

I sell lots of items for my family/friends on ebay. Been doing it for a decade.

No :(

My suggestion is similar to #1, but no tape necessary.
I force myself to check my Mint.com app for my balances before I make purchases. It's on my smartphone, so I can take it anywhere.
It's a good "Can I afford it?" check before I buy.
I make beautiful handbags and pillows
Sometimes I sell stuff on EBay that I buy at thrift stores. That's it.

No I don't make money from any of my hobbies, but I do resell my books after I read them
Well, writing is a hobby but it's also the way I make a living. So I guess that's a big "yes."
Sadly I don't make any money from my hobbies, but I do have a lot of fun!
Not at this time, I used to paint items and sell them.

I agree that Horizon tastes better. This is 2014, and I think that Horizon has "cleaned up" some of their issues:
