Veronicas Blog: SPI 180: Two Woodworkers and How They Make a Full-Time Income from Their Craft with David Picciuto and Bob Clagett

This week’s episode features not one amazing guest, but two! I can’t wait for you to meet David Picciuto and Bob Clagett, two online business success stories I know you will love.

David and Bob run different businesses, but they share a mutual passion: woodworking. Both left their office jobs in hopes of turning their hobby into a full-time business. Since then, David’s DrunkenWoodworker.com and Bob’s ILikeToMakeStuff.com have gained huge followings and become full-time jobs, all while allowing them to do what they love most.

David and Bob are here to share how they monetized their hobby, built their followings, and grew their businesses across multiple income streams. They’ll offer their tips for getting started with sponsorships and running an online store, too.

You’ll also hear what they’ve learned from being part of a mastermind group, and how the relationships they’ve built there have impacted their growing businesses.

Do you have a hobby or passion you’d love to turn into a full-fledged business? Or maybe you’re eager to get out of the 9-to-5 grind, but you’re still waiting on that flash of inspiration to get started. Take a listen to what David and Bob have to say. I guarantee you’ll be inspired—and pick up some top-notch strategies along the way!

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How to transform your part-time hobby into a full-time business.
Potential income streams for your online business.
