Making my hobby a business

AnnaLiz

Hi there,

Is there anyone here, who changed their hobby to business? I am planning to do something like that after reading this https://www.ontariobusinesscentral.ca/blog/3-inspiring-people-who-turned-hobbies-into-businesses/ I think it is a cool idea for a business. I usually paint fabrics and also tried sand painting. I need to make it a  business. But don't know how the basics of business strategies? Any ideas or suggestions for this?

Haven't done it but will be watching the thread with interest - I'd love to at least try!

You should look at clarkhulingsfund.org.  Their mission is to help artists create and sustain a professional visual arts business.  Their podcasts are very educational and have interviews with artists who use their art to fully and partially support themselves.

@Chris_Crotty -  ditto what @tim_gier said! I checked it out too, spent quite a bit of time reading.
