The general rule is:
Because you performed a service in exchange for compensation, you would be considered self-employed and you would report this as taxable self-employment income on schedule C.
You might be able to report this as a hobby as "other taxable income". You would not be able to deduct expenses (which you probably don't have anyway) and you would not pay the additional 15% self-employment tax. The difference between a hobby and self-employment is that self-employment is the result of "an ongoing trade or business" where you hold yourself available as a businessperson, you seek business, advertise, and do other things that a business does. There is no one factor that decides, it is a combination of individual facts and circumstances.
