So many people have there own definition of passion! But in a simple sentence I will say passion is a strong feeling for something, a great enthusiasm for a particular thing.

We have different passions for something, sometimes this passion transcends to various sectors of life.

As an individual having a burning zeal for something is not enough! How do your passion affect your community?
How does it bring some dollars, pounds, euros and Naira to your pocket?

Do u know that balancing it will do you much good.

These are the few tips on how to monetize your passion.

1. What Do You Love to Do?

If you weren’t dealing with that crappy job every day, what would you be doing instead? Figure out which activities make you feel happy and alive—not dead inside, like I feel after a TV marathon.

Maybe you like to take pictures. Maybe you like writing. Perhaps a walk with your dog is your favorite time of day. Any activities you can dream of can be turned into a money-making venture.

If you’re still not sure, then take some classes. Try a few things out before making your choice. It could take years before you figure out what you love to do, but just keep experimenting. The alternative is that you never figure it out!

2. Do It For Free

Before charging people money, do what you love for free for quite a while. Doing the work without worrying about turning your passion into a business right away will help you hone your skills and build your confidence.

Take some baby steps. For example, if you’re thinking about a career in freelance writing, try blogging first. When you feel more comfortable, offer your services for free to a favorite website or local business.

Working for free will also allow you to determine if you actually like the work enough to parlay it into a job—if you won’t do it for free, you won’t enjoy doing it for money.

Using myself as a case study, as a civil engineer by profession, I have done so many designs and jobs for free. I do it because I want them to believe in my ability to deliver a quality job.

3. Combine Your Passion With Your Other Skills
