Some people turn their hobbies into a career or a way of making money. Can you think of any examples?
 
Probably photography and a fitness instructor. Those two come to mind and a baker so three.
 
One example that is quite popular for many now is live streaming video games. I moved into this myself for a few years before I had to change course on my career.

It is not impossible to make money from live streaming but it does take a lot of dedication and hard work to make it full time and be able to earn enough to make a living.
 
I never understood how that produces income. Watching someone play video games when I could be playing makes no sense to me.

One way is through ads like Nebulous stated. Another way is people sign up lets say on their patreon, twitch for a monthly subscription and what not. Some of these individuals do very well.
