Yes, you should look inwards and turn your hobbies to a profitable venture.
To make things easy, ask yourself, “What do I like to do? What comes easy and natural to me?”
Once you’ve answered these questions, congratulations! You can start counting your cash.
Between, you can also consider the following…
1. Are you a badass at playing video games?
Do you know you can sell your video game accounts?

You will sure have enthusiastic customers who want to know your secret.
2. How many followers do you have on social media?
30k? 60k? 80k? Then, become an influencer. Similarly, how catchy is your content marketing on the gram? If it’s not good enough, you should improve on that and carve a niche market for yourself. It’s not enough to check likes and comments; you should turn it into a business by advertising for brands.
