Turn your hobby or skill into money! 

Ever thought of turning your talents into a money making venture?  Well now might be the time to think about it. 

What’s your skill?  Languages?  IT? Singing?  Writing?

There are plenty of websites around who are seeking people with your skills.  Why not take a look at our sister website mumandworking – this site provides tonnes of flexible jobs to give you the opportunity to link your talents to an income.

Or take a look at WEXO to find work experience to test drive your skills to help you decide whether the job is right for you!

Take a friend along!

Why not take a friend - explore together?  You and a friend could download a FREE One Day Pass for a local Health Club and go along to check out the facilities?  You can guarantee that you will be inspired!

"A stranger is just a friend I haven't met yet".....why not enter your hobbies on a friend-match site and find a whole new group of friends too!

Jenny from Darlington had been wanting to get fit for several years.  After the birth of her third child she hadn't got the time, energy or inspiration to take action.  As soon as she mentioned to her friend Amy that she wanted to get fit, Amy found their nearest courses on www.whatson4me.co.uk and they got fit together. 

They say: "Having a friend to go along to the first Zumba classmade the world of difference.  We'd heard of it, but didn't really know much about it & the impression the websites gave was that you needed to be really fit and "dancey".  But we were pleasantly surprised that everyone was as left-footed as us and we laughed our way through an hours exercise without realising that an hour had passed!  We now go twice a week and if one of us has to miss, the other now has the confidence to go on their own.  I'd encourage everyone to exercise with a friend - it really motivates you and akes you stick at it!"

Pick up a Magazine and read around the hobby beforehand

Instead of committing time, money and equipment before you really know the activity, why not read around your new hobby first.  There are magazines on just about every subject!  So why not browse through the Magazines on-line and read around the hobby first - get reviews and insights from your armchair!

SPORT INSURANCE - Make sure that you are covered for all eventualities - it pays to take out insurance especially for extreme sports or pets, where heavy unforseen bills will take the fun out of your hobby.  Usually you can be covered for a few pounds a month, so why not explore now and have the peace of mind that you're happy days will not be spoiled should the unforseen occur.
