Fun Fact
While the exact date of when scrapbook started isn’t known, there is evidence to suggest that this practice has been around for over 150 years!
In 1872, famous American scrapbooker and author, Mark Twain, invented his profitable patented invention, Mark Twain’s Adhesive Scrapbook that contained prepasted pages. This invention netted him $50,000 in profits and became one of Twain’s most popular books.
Notes from Chris
Episode 152
The scrapbooking industry is enormous, in both physical and digital form, and the people who scrapbook are very committed to it and will spend a lot of time and money investing in their hobby. As with any hobby, there are plenty of opportunities to profit from it—and that’s what today’s featured story is about: a Canadian woman who works as a speech pathologist masters a kind of popular photo editing software then uses it to help scrapbookers work more efficiently. She also earns more than $1,000/month doing this, and plans to use her side hustle income to supplement her pension since she's just a few years away from retiring.MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
