Tulips basking in the Sun

What are your thoughts on monetizing a hobby? Is it worth doing? What have you seen as the pros/cons of monetization?⁠
⁠
When I first stumbled upon ways that I could make money online I was actually looking for ways to edit photos for a friend's wedding. After I shot their wedding and started using #lightroom to edit the photos, I really wanted to learn more about photo editing techniques. ⁠
⁠
But I always struggle to sit down and do something unless there is an end goal involved. Fortunately I had learned about selling stock photography online which gave me an outlet to look through my photo library and learn my editing style as well as lots of new techniques for both shooting and editing photos. ⁠

Monetizing my hobby really has led to me learning even more about #photography than had I just continued taking photos whenever I had the whim to do it. ⁠
⁠
If you want to hear more about my photography journey and how I got started or different ways I personally have monetized my photography leave a comment for me letting me know. ⁠
