So with everyone enjoying RE have any of yall turned a hobby into a small money making gig?
I thought about photography and did lots of sports and some studio portraits while still working but decided I didn't want to be tied down and have to deal with the public as much. I enjoy reading novels and have developed a knack to find errors as I read. It helps to be OCD. So after contacting a few authors that I like reading I'm now a proofreader for a few. Doesn't pay much but I get free books from authors I like that I'd read anyway. I certainly won't get rich doing this but it fulfills my purposes rather neatly. And I can do it anyway, even while we're traveling.
Any other things that yall are doing to e*rn a little spending money?
BTW I find that I pick up errors more now while reading forum posts, advertisements, etc. Kind of a pet peeve but I'm dealing with it.
