Technically i made 30€ on a trip 2 years ago (as a joke, I told strangers that I take 5€ for 5 photos) 6 poor souls “fell” for it. Mind you, i didn’t ever consider myself as more than an amateur. I took the photos and sent them to the corresponding email. They turned out alright and I had a grand time.
There are many more hobbies of mine, but life’s too short to constantly dwell on the achievememts of better men
Of course, you need to regard the fact that I’m only 17. (As if age was relevant to the question itself)

确切的说,我在两年前的一次旅行中赚了30欧元(我跟陌生人开玩笑说,5欧元我给他们拍5张照片),6个可怜的人 "上当 "了。不过我从来不认为自己是一个业余爱好者。我拍了照片并把它们发送到相应的邮箱。他们的反馈还不错,我做的不错。
我的爱好还有很多,但人生苦短,不能老是和别人比较。
当然,你需要考虑到我只有17岁(好像这个问题与年龄无关)。

Well I am passionate about writing . Ever since I was a child , I have wanted to become a renowned author . Until a few years ago it seemed like an unattainable obxtive to me but things have drastically changed after the advent of internet . Now it is easier than ever to realize your goals . So I also started looking for a way to turn my passion into profession . One day I came across a man who works as a web developer . As we were talking we told each other about our hobbies . He gave me an advice that paved the way for me starting out my writing career . Although I am not yet capable of earning a huge amount of money out of my writing , I have at least got my foot in the door .

嗯,我对写作充满热情。当我还是个孩子时,我就想成为一名著名的作家。直到几年前,这对我来说还是一个遥不可及的目标,但在互联网出现后,情况发生了巨大的变化。在这个时代,要实现我的目标比以往任何任何年代都要容易。因此,我也开始寻找一种方法,把我的爱好变成职业。有一天,我遇到了一个从事网站开发的人。当我们在交谈时,我告诉他我的爱好。他给了我一个建议,为我的写作生涯铺平了道路。 虽然我还没有能力从我的写作中赚取大量的金钱,但我至少已经踏入了门槛。

Two of my hobbies I made some money from. One was a long time ago when I made baskets that could be used formats anything. I used old Ice Cream Cartons from Baskin And Robbins, they gave them to me free.
I then “prettied” them up by painting designs an with ribbons on them. Sold them mainly at Christmas Time. I figured after various paints, ribbon, glue other items I made a whopping profit on them of around $7 or $8 each.
I also have self published and sold my books of poetry which my profit was very little, more a labor of love.

我有两个爱好,我怕凭此赚了一些钱。一个爱好是很久以前,我能用各种各样的篮子。我用的是 Baskin & Robbins 的旧冰淇淋盒,免费得来的。
然后我把它们 "美化 "了一下,在上面画上图案,再加上丝带。主要在圣诞节时出售。我计算了一下,在除去各种颜料、丝带、胶水等物品的成本之后,我赚到了惊人的利润,每个篮子大约7或8美元。
我也曾自行出版和出售我的诗集,但利润很少,更多是一种爱好。

My hobbies:
Drawing
Playing Piano
Writing online on Quora
Tinkering and creating stuff.
So far, I have not made any money out of them. I plan not to anyway. I would rather have my hobbies aid/boost my potential career or well-being than to try to earn little money. Even so, I do not plan to make my hobbies a career, so, of course, I would not attempt to try to earn any money out of them. In addition, to start a business based on my hobbies would mean that I would have to sacrifice a lot of my time to maintain my business, create my products, figure out the pricing of the resources needed, etc. to which I do not have the time to spare right now (I am currently attending college).

我的爱好。
绘画
弹钢琴
在Quora上回答问题
修补和制作东西。
到目前为止,我还没有从这些东西中赚到任何钱。我也没打算靠它们挣钱。但我希望我的爱好对未来的职业和工作有所帮助。即便如此,我也不打算把我的爱好当作职业,因此,我当然不会试图从这些爱好中赚取任何金钱。此外,以我的爱好为基础创业将意味着我必须牺牲大量的时间来维持我的业务,发展我的产品,核算所需资源的成本,等等,而我现在没有时间来做这些事情(我目前正在上大学)。

I make glass window hangings out of vintage windows and vintage glass. I also do needle felting and painting. Additionally, I grew up with parents who had a side interior design business, so I’m fairly good at decorating.
I mostly create things for gifts and for my own pleasure. On several occasions I’ve been commissioned to make things and I was begged by a friend who owns an event house to host a paint night at her venue. Friends have offered to pay me to help them decorate their homes (I always say no to pay, but will give them advice).
Here’s the odd thing that I’ve found, once commerce enters in, my hobby is no longer a hobby—it’s a job. It has timelines and deadlines and critiques. There’s no more getting lost in the pleasure of creating when I’m working to please someone else. I prefer to make things for the pleasure of it, or for gifts to the people I care about. It’s nice to know that I can make money off of the things I make, if need be, but I’d rather just have fun with it.

我用复古窗户和复古玻璃制作玻璃窗挂件。我还做针线活和绘画。此外,我在父母身边长大,他们有一个副业是室内设计,所以我相当擅长装饰。
我搞创作主要是为了给别人送礼物和自己的乐趣,有几次我被委托制作东西,一个朋友恳求我在她的房子里举办一个绘画之夜。朋友们提出付钱给我,让我帮助他们装饰屋子(我总是拒绝酬劳,但会给他们建议)。
我发现一个奇怪的现象,一旦涉及到金钱,我的爱好就不再是一个爱好了,而是一份工作。它有日程、最后时限和要求。当我为了取悦别人而工作时,就无法再沉浸在创作的乐趣中了。我更喜欢为了快乐而做东西,或者为了给我关心的人送礼物。如果有这个必要的话,我可以从爱好中赚钱,但我宁愿只是从中获得乐趣。

The one thing I’ve always loved since I was a child is drawing and painting. I even went to art school (against my parents’ wishes) for that, fully intended to make a living doing art. I even went to gred school. And a couple of years after grad school, I got another art degree (in a for-profit university) while working full time. I accumulated hundreds of thousands of dollars of student loan learn to make art.

我从小就喜欢画画。我甚至为此去了艺术学校(违背我父母的意愿),希望从此靠艺术混饭。我甚至上了研究生院。研究生毕业后几年,我又拿到了一个艺术学位(在一所营利性大学),同时全职工作。我总共累积了了几十万美元的学生贷款,为了学艺术。

… I have not make a single penny with my art.

...我没有用艺术赚到一分钱。

I would consider myself slightly above average compare to other working artists. And I spend most of my free time painting or drawing.

与其他职业艺术家相比,我认为自己略高于平均水平。而且我的大部分空闲时间都在画画或绘图。

Nowadays I just paint fan art characters from books, movies, or horror podcasts.

现在我只画书本、电影或广播中的艺术人物。

I also write stories, in both English and Chinese. My Chinese historical novel was published. But never seen a dime from that. I should be grateful that the publishing house didn’t ask me to buy my own book in bulk to cover their loses (it’s a common practice).

我也写故事,用英文和中文。我的中国历史小说已经出版。但从未挣到一毛钱。我应该感谢出版社没有要求我大量购买自己的书来弥补他们的损失(这是一种常见的做法)。

I hope I could publish my English writings one day. But if it never happens, I’d be OK with it. And I wouldn’t stop writing.

我希望有一天我可以出版我的英文著作。但如果永远也做不到,我也会接受。我也不会停止写作。

Recently I started branch out to make some craft things, like crochet and embroidery. Nothing fancy, just small stuff to keep my fingers occupied. It’s very relaxing.

最近我开始做一些手工艺品,比如刺绣。没有什么花哨的东西,只是用来让我的手指得到满足。这很让人放松。

I’m trying to be balance my various hobbies and personal projects, so I don’t end up with 100 unfinished projects all over the place. So far, I’m not very successful with that. But hey, it’s always better to have a lot of things you want to do but couldn’t find time than have nothing to do and be bored.

我正在努力平衡我的各种爱好和私事,这样我就不会被100个未完成的项目搞乱。到目前为止,我在这方面还不是很成功。但是,有很多你想做但找不到时间来做的事情,总比没有事情可做而感到无聊要好。

As I grow older, I started to treasure the moments of life instead of trying to create a “legacy”. I would rather have a fulfilling life full of wonderful little moments than living a sad miserable life and then have your paintings auctioned off for millions of dollars after you die.

随着年龄的增长,我开始珍惜生命中的时刻,而不是试图创造一个遗产。我宁愿拥有一个充满精彩瞬间的人生,而不是过着悲惨的痛苦生活,然后在你死后你的画作被拍卖到数百万美元。
评论:

I’m no artist, but if I ever commissioned a drawn portrait from one, I’d be blown away to get something back that was even marginally in the same quality ballpark as what you’ve shown here.

我不是艺术家,但如果我委托专业艺术家画肖像,我一定会震惊,因为我得到的东西一定和你展示的质量相差无几。

You can try creating youtube channel for your art and showcase their making. Your artwork is beautiful!

你可以尝试为你的艺术创建youtube频道,展示如何创作出来的。你的艺术作品是美丽的!

I love your ‘art’.
I can identify with your last 2 paragraphs.
Writing is what I do best, and I’ve never made money from it. I now write for myself, whereas in the past, I would have been hung up about it, even depressed.
I call it my secret life of fiction, which is the best place to have a secret life. I’ve written a trilogy over 20 years (so not prolific) and I only know one person who’s read them all (he cuts my hair). He read the last one completely on his phone. It’s 260 A4 pages (125k words).
I write psychological thrillers on dystopian worlds, with a definite erotic edge, so not everyone’s cup of tea. I no longer worry that no one reads them.
I hope you don’t mind me sharing this.

我喜欢你的 "艺术"。
我认同你的最后两段话。
写作是我最擅长的事情,但我从来没有从中赚过钱。我现在是为自己而写,而在过去,我会为它而难过,甚至是沮丧。
我称它为我的秘密小说生活,这是拥有私密生活的载体。我20多年只写了三部曲(所以并不多产),我只有一个读者把它们都读完了(他是我的理发师)。他是在手机上读完了最后一本。有260页A4纸(12.5万字)。
我写的是关于歇斯底里世界的心理惊悚小说,有一定的色情元素,所以不是每个人都会对这种题材感兴趣。但我不再担心没有人愿意读它们。
我希望你不要介意我分享这个。

Since I learnt it during my teen years, I do yarn crafts from time to time, but it’s usually just one small project (hat or scarf) and then I’m done for another 2–3 years. However, for some reason, I’ve really gotten into crocheting/knitting in the past half year. This time something just clicked in my brain and learning it become much more fun and less frustrating than it has ever been. Also, I’ve found that yarning is really great to go with binge watching tv/anime series.

自从我在十几岁的时候学会后,我时常做针织工艺品,但通常只是一个小物件(帽子或围巾),之后我又做了两三年。然而,出于某种原因,在过去的半年里,我真的迷上了针织。这一次,我的脑子里突然有了一些东西,学习针织变得比以前更有乐趣,更没有挫折感了。此外,我还发现,在看电视/动漫系列时,针织真的很不错。

What are your hobbies

你的爱好是什么?

In no particular order:

排名不分先后。

Staring at screens
Clubbing
Writing

盯着屏幕看
泡吧
写作

have you made any money out of them?
Writing yes, but nothing crazy. Everything else no. At least not in the fun way — I've definitely been paid to stare at screens, but the boring kind at work, not the fun kind at home.
At this point in my life I actively restrain myself from trying to monetize my hobbies. Way too much stress for money I don't need, and it sucks the joy out of the hobby.

你从这些爱好中赚到钱了吗?
写作是的,但并不多。其他完全没有。至少不是以有趣的方式--我绝对是靠盯着屏幕来赚钱的,但是是在工作中无聊的那种,不是在家里有趣的那种。
在对待我的生命这个问题上,我积极克制自己不去尝试将我的爱好金钱化。为了我不需要的钱,压力太大了,而且它吸走了爱好中的快乐。
