If you are a total scrapbook aficionado and can consider yourself an expert to all things concerning scrapbooking, then why not try to earn some extra cash from your hobby? From selling scrapbook design templates, scrapbook art materials, to teaching people how to create great scrapbooks, there are surely a lot of ways for you to make a profit out of scrapbooking, you just have to learn to be more resourceful and open to trying out new things.

Here are a few suggestions that you can try:

· Scrapbooking expert: you can set up small classes for those who are interested in getting into scrapbooking but are still trying to learn the ropes. Create a fun and easy learning atmosphere wherein your students will even turn out to be friends, charge them for your tutoring – you might even want to add a few extra arts and crafts projects that they can also use for their scrapbook projects; while for the materials that your students are going to use, just charge them a bit since you would not be able to make a decent profit if you give them away free. Although it might be a cute idea for you to serve them with free juice and cookies during break time.

· Design diva: if you are pretty good with graphic design, sketching or painting, then you can easily create cool scrapbook templates for other people. Make your home a mini studio wherein you will create design requests for your clients or offer your services as a freelance designer for arts and crafts companies who may want to start reproducing your designs for the mass market.
