    Hey,

    Has anyone started making money from a hobbie or craft either by selling things online or making products to selling them online?
    Or at a market or craft fair?

    Hi PP
    I am not sure this is the right forum for this. What is your hobby that you are looking to monetise?

    It isn't a hobby if you take it up specifically to make money out of it. It's a side hustle or small business. Nothing wrong with that. Visit any craft fair or farmers market and you will meet lots of people who do exactly that. But if you approach it as a hobby it will just slow up the process of becoming a business.
