KOMPAS.com - When you have a full time job so you love, you probably would not dream to do something else. But for others, maybe not a job that gives life meaning and fulfill every aspect of your life, but a hobby. Well, how can you can gain the confidence and experience to develop this hobby into a successful business?

There are five ways to slowly change the hobby who lived on a part time became full-time business:

1. Offer your work for free, or as a sample given a discount. Whether you sell accessories, design your own clothes, food, or any services, train your skills, and test your ability to sell to friends. Invite them to your house to try a typical dish that you have mastered, or bring examples of the accessories you chain yourself to the office. Then, try to get feedback from them so that you can improve and produce better work.

2. Steal the knowledge of experts. Lots of entrepreneurship seminars or workshops held by the company or certain products. Attend these seminars, because you will not just get theory, but also the experience of those who have fallen-awake when developing its business. You also can start your step by applying for a part-timer in the company's business owner, so you can learn a lot from there.

3. Build networks. Once you realize that hobby you have a chance to grow and have a promising future, use sites such as LinkedIn.com or other social networks to gather prospective colleagues, prospects, or your customer. Ask the people who affect to be part of your network. The larger your community, the greater your potential to be successful.

4. Advertise. After perfecting your hobby, and now you're ready to step into the next stage, create a simple website that explains about your business, complete with a good company name, logo, designed with unique, and spread the news about the launch of this product or service via Twitter, Facebook , YouTube (if no connection), other social networks, and of course e-mail.

5. Give your full attention. The business is growing, certainly demands greater attention from you. So if your business is already making a profit, and you believe you can make a living from this business, consider to resign from your office job. Announce that this business has now become your new full-time job. Good luck.
