Not every hobby needs to become income.

CREATIVITY

WHAT THIS MEANS

The moment a hobby has to earn, it acquires a standard, an audience, and an obligation, and the reason you started doing it usually dies quietly in the process. Some things should stay unmonetized specifically so that being bad at them remains allowed.

If you have been eyeing something you love and wondering how to make it pay, consider protecting it instead. The freedom to do something purely for yourself is rarer and harder to rebuild than an additional income stream.
