You will be doing a lot of the same activities as you already are but earning some money on the side. There may be certain regulations you will need to abide by and special licenses to obtain but that is true in most start up businesses. This business requires low start up costs and low overhead.

Artists and craftspeople earn money at home by working at their chosen craft from home and using the Internet to market and sell their items. Photographers, painters, woodworkers, jewelry makers and seamstresses are examples of some of the artisan jobs that can be accomplished at home.

Re: Which would you start: a Blog or Online Community? - It is a difficult decision to make. Lets start it this way - What are you more interested in? Money? or Friends? or Both? If its purely Money, then Blog might be an appropriate answer. But consider this - It will be people (visitors) that will bring traffic to your blog and then Money will follow. This will be possible after a time and during this time it will be your friends who will be the starters. If you are looking for friends only, then its true that not many will be interested in knowing how you have beaten them in the game or the other way round. So it will be preferable to have a Forum where they can share ideas with you and others. But you can share your insider knowledge with them and invite comments from your Blog. You can also put up information on what others (including your friends) don't know about Tennis. The blog you create can provide News, Inside Information and also Techniques that can be used by the new entrants in the world of Tennis.
