Just thinking about the little things we enjoy that is other people’s way of earning, for example fishing.
A professional is someone who fell into the trap of turning their hobby into a source of income
I make pretty good beer and pretty shit furniture.
Fixing bikes. But if I had to do it for a job, under time pressure, I’d hate it. Give me all afternoon to fix a bike and let me put on a 5 hour podcast about the collapse of the Aztec empire, that’s my happy place

Gardening or more specifically raising fruit trees. Right now I got about 50 citrus trees growing from trifoliate orange seeds. Once they’re ready I am going to graft lemons and satsumas onto them. I’m not planning to sell the trees, rather I’ll gift them to friends and family.
I also propagate houseplants and gift them to friends, family and colleagues. Since they’re so easy to propagate it’s almost no effort.
I bake fancy sourdough, grow vegetables, do landscaping (but not mowing) make great cocktails for people, ferment foods and drinks. Occasionally draw things for decorations.
On the other hand, we pay someone to mow, and also to clean the house every other week.
I tried my hand at sourdough breads, but failed miserably. How long did it take you to become decent at it?
Apparently there are people who receive monetary compensation for drawing comics. Some apparently can even do that as their main job. That’s what I heard at least, they seem to be rare.
Self hosting, I guess it makes me an IT person as a hobby?
