HobbyScool: Where Creative Passions Become Life-Changing Journeys

Can your hobby really earn $1K/month? Here’s how…


Where Creative Passions Become Life-Changing Journeys

Reader,

This week is all about creative monetization — but if you're here purely for the joy of making, you're just as welcome. ✂️

At HobbyScool, we celebrate both the hobbyists and the hobby side hustlers — and this issue reflects that balance.

Now let’s dive into this week’s inspiration and opportunities...

🎧 PODCAST EPISODE

Ever wondered if your creativity could become a business? Kira McCoy turned her passion for teaching art into a thriving empire — all from small, low-cost products.

In this honest and inspiring episode, Kira shares:

  • Why audience first is her business motto
  • How she validated ideas without big investments
  • The importance of starting simple (like with $10 products!)
  • Her journey from classroom to creative CEO

“You don’t need a huge product or audience — just something your people already want.” — Kira McCoy
