Making money would be definitive proof (to the IRS) that your venture is a business, not a hobby, but it is not a requirement. The test is whether you are running it as a business — that is the way someone would do it if they were seriously trying to make money at it. That’s a bit vague, but intentionally so. Now, if you run this thing for five years and never make money and it appears you are just trying to make a hobby look like a business, you could be challenged and owe a lot of back taxes. But if it "looks" like real business in other importatn ways, the fact that you are not making a profit does not disqualify it.
I believe as long as you don’t make in access of around $3000-6000, than you’re okay.
