Work from home regular income

Hi everybody

Due to personal reasons I'm thinking about going part time at work. I would need to cover the income I'm losing by working from home. I was just wondering if anybody had any tips or ideas of what I could do. I've already started a YouTube page which I strangely love doing but that's more of a long term thing as I won't be making any money on that for a while. I absolutely love hobbies and crafts but looking online I'm not sure there's much call for crocheted items.

    Try and find a talent or service unique to you that you can sell on to people willing to pay.

    For example, I create maps for fantasy authors using Photoshop. Extremely niche but the demand is definitely out there :)
