Monetizing Passion Showcase - Poetry

[LordFall]

Saw this really cool reel today of this poet charging $55 for custom poems on the NYC sidewalk. It's bittersweet because she ends writing one for a struggling musician but it seems like it gave her hope and inspiration so thought it was worth sharing.

For the right person something like this is a decent business model to start off. If she sells even one every 3 hours you get paid more than minimum wage($55 divided by 3 is $18.30 and minimum wage in NYC is $17/h) and if you get to the point of selling one per hour you sit down 6 hours Saturday/Sunday that's $2,640$ USD a month. Not too bad for a side hustle on top of a job or I mean there would be ways to do it full time if you really wanted to.

I was a freelance photographer for a while and thought about doing the same for tourists near the CN tower in Toronto and just having a poster that says $30 for professional pictures type of thing. 

There are a lot of options to monetize your passions, just gotta throw stuff at the wall until you find a profitable avenue that makes sense for your desired lifestyle.
