Wild Bum in the News

Americans spent an average of more than five hours per day on leisure activities in 2018, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. And activities vary widely: Music, food, travel, reading, and arts and crafts are among America’s most popular pastimes, according to Statista.

Many Americans who find themselves with more free time to fill at home these days have more chances to pursue their favorite leisure activities and hobbies. Luckily, there are ways to make money from a lot of those hobbies.

To turn a pastime into a money-making opportunity, figure “out what platforms are available to sell your product or services,” says financial expert Andrea Woroch. “Are you going to use social media to find people, are you going to do some cold calling?”

Here’s how to turn five popular hobbies into money-making side hustles.
