Description:
Has the flexibility of remote work allowed anyone to seriously pursue and even monetize a hobby or craft on the side? I’m thinking about selling my pottery but unsure how to balance it with my full-time remote job demands.

Absolutely! Remote work gives you so much flexibility to chase your passions! 🎉 You can start small by dedicating weekends or evenings to your pottery. Maybe set a goal to sell a few pieces a month! 🌟 You’ll find your groove, and it’ll be super rewarding! Go for it!!! 🚀
- Joseph Hughes: Good enthusiasm, but 'start small' needs clarity. Define hours per week and target monthly revenue to test pottery’s market viability.
- Grace White: Thanks for pointing that out, Joseph! Starting small could mean dedicating about 5-7 hours a week to pottery, maybe spread over weekends and a couple of weeknights. For monthly revenue, aiming to sell 3-5 pieces depending on your pricing could be a solid initial target to gauge interest without overwhelming yourself. Adjust as you learn what works!
