Video Games Are Hot!
Have you ever thought about playing video games for extra cash?
Many have and my nephew is one that not only played for cash at tournaments around Missouri, bu het has an online presence playing live video games while streaming to his gaming fans using twitch.
Here is how to become an Authority Playing Video Games
If you watched the video above this is my nephew’s strategy for making extra cash with the hopes to become a highly paid gamer. He plays a total of three hours a night after work and holidays. The down side is that he pays out $300 extra dollars a month for bandwidth cost.
Ouch. No wonder he’s not making much money.
I was at Best Buy® and a game caught my eye. it was a new game titled “Red Dead Redemption 2”. I actually didn’t play the game but watch another person playing it. The reason it caught my attention is because I am a western fan especially, when it comes Clint Eastwood movies.
Red dead Redemption 2, was a western and the story line was as if I was watching a good western movie.
I noticed that if I had an Xbox I could make a few dollars writing weekly cheat sheets for about five dollars a pop while building a customer list of rabid gaming fans.(We’ll discuss more about this a little later.) Just from what I seen on the screen at the box store I could come up with several different topics such as…
- · How to handle witnesses, there is an easy way, and an ugly way of doing this
- · How to pay off a bounty quickly to stay in the game
- · And How to lose your wanted level so you can make money in the game to survive.
Years ago, I use to write guides and cheat sheets for a game I played titled “Unreal Action.” This way you understand that I know what I am talking about.
After writing several cheat sheets you could bundle them into one volume and sell it as a guide. You could easily, do this from your own website or format it into a kindle eBook.
This is actually the only way I could write a 100 to 200 page guide while making money doing it.
Here are 3 more ways to make money playing video games
So far, you know have 2 ways of making money playing video games. We have already discussed how to make money as an authority playing video games from the video and my nephew’s story and Writing Cheat sheets, so we’ll skip that part and move onto…
1. Create PLR videos:
Your already streaming your game play, why not record it using Camtasia or Camstudio, or any other video recording software that will capture your screen. You can even use your smart phone for over the shoulder videos too.
Instead of just showing your gaming abilities give tutorials or tips, and strategies of your favorite game.
Then all you have to do is send an email to a PLR provider asking the owner if they would like to purchase the PLR. You can also skip the middleman and write a short sales letter and add that to your blog or website selling your videos.
2. Blog Your Way to Gaming Profits:
You obviously know your Video game. Let’s step it up a bit by creating a free blog at blogspot.com and start blogging. You’re blog posts can be as easy as giving tips about the game you play, or recording your live stream and posting them onto youtube.com, then embedding the video into a blog post and click publish
.
.
The advantage to blogging is that you can sell your products or other people products and services from one location. Add banners from Amazon, clickbank.com, JVZOO.com, or use native ads in your posts to make money. Check out this great example of an affiliate gaming blog.
Of course to help you look like a pro-gamer you will need a domain name that you can attache to your blog. One domain name comes to mind that would be perfect for gamer and that is GIGVIP.
This domain is broad enough so if you can create cheat-sheets, guides, or videos for a whole host of various games. And you can add the domain to your BlogSpot blog without spending the extra cash for hosting. Today, we are living in what has been termed the gig economy and for many people gig doesn't mean live performances any more. And when I look up VIP on Google, I noticed bloggers talking about vip codes to Boarder Land 3.

You’ll benefit more if you build a list of prospects and customers by using an autoresponder service such as Aweber or Getresponce on your side column at the top to get prospects and start building a list of fans that you can notify of new blog posts, and your cheat sheets, along with links to your live streaming when you game.
3. Ask for Gaming Cash:
This was mentioned in the video, but it wasn’t discussed as thoroughly as it could have been. You’ve probably seen people on Twitch, Periscope, or Youtube.com, with their hands out, asking as a means to raise cash to pay their bills. Just as with other people who stand on busy intersections in your city begging for spare change. This simple strategy Will work. And work well.
Like most people, asking for money from strangers, probably doesn’t sit well with you. Instead of outright begging, you can provide a product or service and ask for donations.
Here are More ideas Asking For Money From a Video Gamers Perceptive:
• Post useful responses on gaming groups or forums that allow people to send you a PayPal donation. In groups you will simply get a Paypal-me link and simply ask. On forums you can use a signature line with a link to your paypal-me page.
“If you found this useful considered making a small donation by Clicking Here.”
• Set up a blog, post good content, and ask for donations if your readers find the content useful.
• Create a gaming guide or Cheat sheet and include a “donation” link in the PDF. Tell people to donate an amount equal to the value they found in your product. Of course if you use this method it is best to get the prospect on your list using the PDF as an incentive to subscribing.
• You can create other products and ask for donations, such as videos, audios, and similar creative’s. The reason you might consider asking for donations rather than requiring payment up front is simply this; a really good and useful Cheat Sheet, Guide or video may “go viral” if you offer it free (with donation requests). If it goes viral and sweeps your gaming community, you’ll make a lot more than a onetime fee.
