How to Sell Your Hobbies for Profit

More than half of the world’s billionaires are involved with import/export.

But who wants to spend the time to become a billionaire — especially when you can spend a few hours a month at it and make enough to take luxurious vacations whenever you want?

Plus, you can base it on something you already love to do. Take Caroline Lao, for example.

Caroline and her sister loved creating photo scrapbooks. But store shelves lacked the more creative scrapbooking items they wanted.

So they put their heads together and brainstormed hundreds of things they would like to see in stores. Then they took those ideas and found a way to go directly to suppliers, getting what they needed… and at much cheaper prices, too.

Caroline had a hunch that they weren’t the only ones looking for more unique items to preserve memories in a fun way. So she started to sell the items she found.

In her first year, she made just under $100,000. Now, five years later, she brings in well over a million dollars a year in sales.

She makes her own hours. She lives wherever she wants. And she gets to make money with something she already loves.

Billionaires and millionaires aside, you can do this on a much smaller scale and fund your trips selling something you’re already interested in.
