10 Hobbies You Don't Know That Can Make You Rich Fast From Home

Have you ever dreamed of having a six-figure income? This article will introduce you to the top 10 hobbies that, if taken seriously, can make you rich fast. The best part is that you can do it from home! No need to go out during bad weather or when you're feeling tired, all you need is a laptop and a fast internet.

Whether you want to pay off student loan debt, quit your 9-5 job or build up a fund for the future, finding one of the best side jobs out there is a great way to reach your goal. Side jobs are part-time positions that offer job holders the flexibility needed to earn extra money while working full time in other roles.

It is crucial to understand that it doesn't happen overnight. All you need is to be patient and never quit. Persistence is key.

Here's a list of the top hobbies that I recommend:

1-Writing

There are many different fields when it comes to writing. In this article, I will only focus on blogging and publishing your own ebooks.

If you’re unsure about what a blog is – a blog is a way to express your thoughts and teachings online. You can use a platform like WordPress to have a self-hosted blog. You can use it to promote your service – coaching, freelance writing, Pinterest management, etc. – and you can use it to grow your audience, brand, and income.
I personally use Wordpress to host my own blog.

If you're new to blogging, I recommend that you start using free blog hosting websites such as Dev or Medium .

EBooks are simply books that are published online. Think of it like streaming a show on Netflix or buying the digital copy of a movie on Amazon. EBooks are the digital copies of real books. You can read them on your Kindle, laptop, phone or whatever that's connected to the internet.

Why ebooks?

a- Authors are finding that they can make more money by self-publishing ebooks. Traditional publishing is slow, difficult, and the commissions are razor-thin.

b- Ebooks are easy to publish and anyone can do it. Anyone can start with an ebook, print paper copies, and record audio versions without leaving your room.

You can publish your own book on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Leanpub and a hundred other platforms for free.

I do recommend spending some money on a cover design, and maybe an editor to make your ebook attractive and professional. You can set your own pricing and market it through whatever channels you want.

2-Coding

With the limitless free sources on Youtube, Udemy, Lynda, etc... Anyone can learn how to code without a degree and make a great amount of side income. The hard part is to choose your niche. You can become an Android, IOS, website, game, software developer or any type of programming. The second step is to pick your favorite language. In fact, each and every programming field have many languages. For example, you can build a website with Python, Node.js, or PHP...

It's not an easy task, you need to be a passionate developer if you want to succeed. I'm both, a programmer and a blogger. In my opinion, blogging is much easier than programming, but I enjoy coding much more because it's very challenging.

3-Copywriting

Recently, I've learned about copywriting. Dan Lok -King of high ticket sales- describes copywriting as "closing in print", which essentially means to use written words to generate leads and sales. It is a high-income skill, used often by introverts, to start and enhance or extend a relationship with a customer that includes salesmanship in print.

Its primary purpose is to sell, so to be a good copywriter, you need to have an understanding of sales, marketing, and human psychology.

Copywriting is broadly used for landing pages, direct mail campaigns, sales pages, printed advertising, infomercials, social media pages, and e-commerce platforms.

4-Flipping websites

One thing I’m starting to learn as I grow as a blogger is that great bloggers don’t think like bloggers, they think like businessmen, and by this I mean they spot great business ideas and then focus on them in the long-run. Think about the great potential there is to this kind of business.

Much like real estate, websites can be bought and sold on online marketplaces. Websites are the equivalent of internet real estate and they can be used as investments, sources of recurring income, and places for storing assets. And much like houses, websites, under certain circumstances, can be flipped for a profit.

If you have a website doing $5,000/month in net profit, it would be reasonable to sell it for $110,000. That is often enough to buy a house free and clear depending on the location.

You could easily become a debt-free landlord in just a few months of hard work in the SEO game, by converting your digital profit machines into real estate cash flow assets – without ever having to worry about a mortgage.

5-Building a website

Making money from your website isn’t a myth. It’s doable by anyone. No need to learn how to code. With Wordpress, it's just a matter of drag and drop. I had literally 0 experience in web design and development. You can check my 2 websites: my portfolio and my Company's website. Amazingly, I was able to build my portfolio and Codinstyle websites in just 2 months while working full time as a telecom engineer at Ericsson.

You can do it by yourself and spend a great sum of money and time. Or, you can contact me and I will take care of your website from A-Z, for as little as 15$/month for 3 years.

Remember, you need to spend money to win money. Time is more valuable than money. Time spent will never be regained again.

Imagine yourself 10 years from now, how satisfied you will be when you have your own website that pays your bills while you're sleeping.

Relax, save time and money, and let me take care of all your website's details including design, hosting, domain name etc...

At the very least, you should be able to make enough to cover your basic expenses for a domain and hosting. You might even be able to replace your income from a 9-5 job.

6-Testing

Before an app development team releases their web or mobile app to the public, it needs to be tested. Usability issues need fixing. Bugs need ironing out. To find these issues, development teams often hire a group of beta testers to test drive apps before their public launch. You can create an account on Utest and start testing.

Another original app is Mosaeek. The latter is a video-interaction software for more personal interaction and contextual video-responses. It is basically a platform for bi-directional video-interaction which allows viewers and other creators to leave time-stamped video-replies directly on top of any kind of source video.

Imagine it like a SoundCloud for video - with the goal to make communication online more personal.

You can join their Discord server and be part of this revolutionary application.

7-Closing

A high-income skill that gets you results for job applications, presentations, and especially any career is high ticket closing. In my opinion, high ticket closing is the most important skill that freelancers, entrepreneurs, salespeople or business owners can have in their talent arsenal.

To simplify things down, when you say closing, you say convince. In our everyday lives, if you can’t close family, friends, or people at work, you won’t have much success in life. You’re closing when you convince a potential employer that you’re the best candidate for the job. You’re closing when a guy or gal agrees to go on a date with you.

8-Vlogging

Today there are more people watching video content on YouTube than any TV network. Viewers watch 1 billion hours daily. YouTube videos are produced in 91 countries and can be found in 80 different languages. There are a number of people that make vlogs and bring in some serious cash just by posting these blog-like videos.

If you enjoy appearing behind the camera and sharing tips and information, a vlog channel of your own is a great choice. All you need is a vlogging camera, fast internet, and a laptop. Vlogging can be a lucrative career for many if it is done right and develops an audience that sticks by your side. The sky is just about the limit when it comes to the type of content you can create.

9-Translator

I remember at school I used to study English, French, Arabic, and Spanish. I've mastered them all, except for Spanish, which I thought it's useless to learn more than 3 languages. I was wrong! In fact, The impact of multilingualism can be traced to even more fields. For instance, a doctor who can communicate with his or her patient in their native language is much more likely to have success at diagnosing them. Any hiring manager in any company in the world would tell you that the ability to speak a foreign language is a prized commodity. Learning to communicate fluently in multiple languages provides additional job security and advancement opportunities in uncertain economic times.

Some people have a hobby to learn new languages. Nowadays, thanks to language apps like Duolingo, you can learn and master a new language in a fun and easy way.

Grab a piece of paper and a pen and write this down: "2020 objectives: 1- Learn a new language by the end of 2020"
Don't stop there, begin from today. Time just seems to fly, avoid procrastination. It takes 5 minutes per day, every day. You will be amazed at how much you will learn in these 35 minutes/week.

10-Transcriber

Last but not least, One of the fastest-growing employment opportunities is in the field of transcription. Transcriptionists can make money transcribing online everything from legal depositions to YouTube videos. Companies in the legal, medical, media and entertainment industries hire transcriptionists on a regular basis to transfer their digital copy into written documents. The goal is having their material in a variety of formats so that it can be used in many different ways.

According to PayScale, the median transcriptionists' salary is $15.22 per hour. Additionally, you enjoy the freedom of setting your own hours and have sufficient leverage for working as little or as much as you want on a weekly basis. According to the BLS stats declared in 2017, the median annual transcriptionists' salary was $35,250 per year or about $16.95 per hour. With this rate, you can easily earn $1,500 every month if you work 2.5 hours per day for 24 days.
