Can You Advise on How to Expand My Hobbies?

Ask a Question

I am very lucky to write reviews on shows/plays for our local theatres. Although i don't get paid the two top tickets and interval drink make it a lovely night out and i can treat friends and family as my guest.

I also do History talks for Age Concern, but again, i dont take payment as they have to pay to hire the premises for their get togethers.

I am not very good on social media and i wondered if anyone on here could advise me on how to expand these activities now i have retired. I would love to earn a little extra pin money?

The way I earn a little extra money is through surveys. It doesn't make me rich but I get enough to pay for our sons birthday and Christmas presents and to pay for the food at Christmas too.

What about working as a tour guide at a historical site during the summer season?

MrsCraig I was actually wondering about doing more history talks and reviews, I really don't want to sit around indoors but I love the idea of being a tour guide. I know you are a teacher, would schools ever be interested in a guest speaker to talk to the kids about history?

Lynibis we have guest speakers in for lots of different things. If the history talk was relevant to either what they were currently learning or would be learning about then yes schools would have a guest speaker in. I don't know if the guest speakers are paid as I'm not involved in that side of things.

MrsCraig thanks, that's interesting. I wouldn't need to make money per se but maybe a little for expenses. I love talking to kids and history has a lot of funny stories they would enjoy. Maybe I will send out an email to the local schools.
