Just like photography and writing hobbies, productive hobbies such as graphic and video editing can be a profitable business to pursue. Recently, video has been on the rise. The reason is, that videos that can be made into advertisements attract more curiosity from social media users. Videos that have been shot need to be edited to make them more interesting to look at. Even though you are equipped with many paid and free video editing applications, not everyone has advanced editing skills. So, you can use this powerful video editing skill as a way to earn income.
4. Makeup

Makeup vloggers, make-up celebrities, and make-up artists both need capital, namely great interest, strong skills, and consistency. To be more confident in establishing yourself as a makeup artist or makeup vlogger, start by posting (uploading) photos of the makeup you do. That way, more and more people will know and be interested in your makeup results.
