20% of UK workers boost their income through a hobby and interestingly most of these do so during work hours……
An average of 4/10 say that they regularly use time at work to pursue their hobby.
Hobbies can bring home an average £3,511 a year after tax, with some enthusiasts making considerably more through their pastimes and depending on their annual salary, they could be increasing their annual income by approximately 20%.
It would seem that collecting and trading is the most profitable pastime, followed by IT, music, arts and crafts, and writing. Ebay has created a “phenomenon” in trading, making life so much easier to trade on a national level.
