In these days of austerity and financial uncertainty, it is more important than ever to make use of every talent you have to extract an extra stream of income. If you enjoy carpentry, you can make objects for sale and likewise with many of the other hobbies and crafts, but if you are more interested in the Internet, the route can be more obscure.
Especially if writing is not your forte.
However, that need not be a stumbling block. Similarly if you would like to hit the English-speaking market, but English is not your mother tongue.
Time could also be a constraint, as it is on most hobbies. However, think of this: while flying kites is a great hobby, it earns no money, whereas running a blog on flying kites could do. Especially if it is informative and provides a service.
So, for most people, unfortunately, I think that unprofitable hobbies have had their day. It is time for those who love the Internet to use it to make money and not just surf.

PS: this is even more important in poor countries, where $3-$5 per day family income is not uncommon. Think about it, even $1 extra a day is a 25% increase!
Owen Jones, Amazon Best-Selling Author from Barry, Wales, has lived in several countries and travelled in many more. While studying Russian in the USSR in the '70's, he hobnobbed with spies on a regular basis; in Suriname, he got caught up in the 1982 coup; and while a company director, he joined the crew of four as the galley slave to sail from Barry to Gibraltar a home-made concrete yacht, which was almost rammed by a Russian oil tanker and an American aircraft carrier.
“I am a Celt, and we are romantic”, he said when asked about his writing style, “and I firmly believe in reincarnation, Karma and Fate, so, sayings like 'Do unto another...', and 'What goes round comes around' are central to my life and reflected in my work. I write about what I see, or think I see, or dream... and, in the end it is all the same really”. He speaks seven languages and is learning Thai, since he lives in Thailand with his Thai wife of fifteen years.
His first novel, Daddy's Hobby is from the seven-part series 'Behind The Smile: The Story of Lek, a Bar Girl in Pattaya', but his largest collection is 'The Megan Series', twenty-three novelettes on the psychic development of a teenage girl, the subtitle of which, 'A Spirit Guide, A Ghost Tiger and One Scary Mother!' sums them up nicely. He has written fifty novels and novelettes, including: Dead Centre; Andropov's Cuckoo; Fate Twister; The Disallowed (a philosophical comedy); Tiger Lily of Bangkok; and A Night in Annwn (Annwn being the ancient Welsh word for Heaven). Many have been translated into foreign languages and narrated into audio books.
Owen Jones writes stories set in Wales, Spain and Thailand, where he now lives. He is a life-long Spiritualist, and this belief is interwoven, in a very realistic way, into many of his books and storylines. If you like a touch of the 'supernatural', try his books
He sums his life up thus: “Born in the Land of Song, Living in the Land of Smiles”.
