i love these kinds of threads and this is a good one with terrific ideas posted.
here's what i'm doing- i've virtualized my hobbies as online lifestyles, looking at them as micro-niches are looked at and understood in online adult. Using business skills i have such as photography, marketing/sales and creating unique angles on products (the skils i enjoy).
create accounts with the proper branding at snapchap, instagram, twitter, youtube channel, Amazon reviews that are a part of that hobby/micro-niche, etc, then go out and meet with others in your area (in real life) that are like-minded, go to places that are about that hobby and record those events. always carry and use your camera, when you go to a gathering with others that are like-minded, then be JFK for all of those put that online and then invite those people to come check out what you shot and share in the micro-niche. always be the group's go-to photographer by always uploading your images and inviting others to see themselves in the pics.
this creates personal networks of very focused like-minded people, and do what the big boys do with that sort of micro-niched group, sell ads.
properly monetize each of those spaces with advertising and links, such as links to amazon products that have your referral code and drive traffic across all of them. then expand and use the monetization tools that are coming online at places like instagram.
incremental revenue for doing what you like to do and are good at.
