4 Questions To Answer Before Turning a Hobby Into a Profitable Blog

Think back when you're on your own, doing your favorite hobby. It can be knitting, watching sports on TV, playing the piano... Does it make you feel like "hum, I wish I could get paid for this, I'd be here for hours..."

Just how do you go about turning your hobby into a profitable blog? How do you know if it will be profitable? Can it grow over next 6 months?

At the same time you think, a hobby, you know so much about it, there's bound to be a way to make it profitable. In the back of your mind you know that to earn a living online, it's better if you think of a unique product about your hobby. How? What can be a 'unique selling proposition'?

See if you can answer these 4 questions as specifically as possible in 15 minutes :)





  1. Who are you going to sell to?



  2. Is there a demand for your product?



  3. What do the sites related to your hobby already sell?



  4. What can you offer, or do better than those sites related to your hobby?



If you feel 'stuck', can't answer these questions quickly. Don't worry.





You don't have to do everything on your own. Sure, you can get the "do it yourself" attitude and spend money on any website design, hosting, or set up a free blog. What type of layout are you going to choose?

Content, sounds easy. What keywords are most searched? What do your readers want to know more about? What how-to reports would you need to write?

Products to sell, hum, planning to sell products already out there? No unique products or creative products your visitors would WANT?

Now, promotion. Where do you put your website so your potential clients can see you? Not necessary to go to click for traffic sites. You need real people who want to buy from you, reading your ezine, visiting your blog, becoming YOUR affiliates.

How overwhelming can that feel?
--- In how many months will you see sales? Will you get loyal customers within the first 6 months? Not to mention negative thoughts can start getting in your way.


Why spend your precious time 'guessing' if something will work? Why not use the quickest route to a profitable blog?


You already have knowledge and experience about your hobby. Now you just need someone with experience in online business, creating info-products, automating marketing tasks, and that has been making a living online for years.




Let's see, you want to save time. That means you don't want to do all the online research on your own without any guidance. Without accountability from someone who's been there it can get discouraging, right? It might start to feel like work and not like your hobby. You just want to spend most of your time on your hobby not in the business of your hobby. Oh-oh.



By reaching out for help, getting advice and support you can be less stressed, you'll know IF you can turn your hobby into a profitable website or blog.




Once you researched online the sites about your hobby, who do you turn to? Who can help you decide if it's a profitable market, and if there are potential customers over months? What products do you sell? How do you build a list of potential clients? How do you get support and feedback from other online entrepreneurs during the month? How to determine your short-term and long-term business goals?
