About us

Thriftyhobby is a blog that aims to help people find their passion and purpose, and turn those into a successful business. We’ll cover topics like personal finance to monetising your hobbies and blogging as a form of online passive income!


I started this blog in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, as a self-coping mechanism and distraction. But more than anything, it was meant to keep myself productive during the quarantine, really.

The general outlook during these times was gloomy and the economy was in a very bad shape that millions of people all around the world lost their jobs. People who only have one source of income were badly hit.

The reality of the situation got me thinking… is there a way to educate people on how to earn passive income online?

Not that there isn’t a plethora of information on Google already, but Thriftyhobby’s aim is to give people valuable insights on how to turn their hobbies into passion projects that can help them earn passive income online the RIGHT WAY and the LEAST COSTLY WAY. There are tons of get rich quick schemes out there but most of them will surely just burn your capital out and set unrealistic expectations that will further lower down your morale.

It doesn’t have to be HARD too! In this blog, I’ve compiled a list of helpful tools and ideas that beginners can use into their first foray into the world of passive income.

And even with no capital to having a tight budget, it is still possible to start a small business to make money!

Even in the this trying times, the least I could do is to give people a sparkle of hope and motivation to pursue their creative side; and with the quarantine keeping people mostly in their homes, I want people to reflect on the hobbies that they enjoy the most, and help them turn those hobbies into something that they can monetise online.

Happiness doesn’t have to be expensive and hard work doesn’t have to be boring.

Even if you are a beginner or totally clueless about online passive income, we hope that Thriftyhobby will motivate you and guide you along the way to take action, and develop GROWTH MINDSET.

All it takes is one small step.
