Everybody loves playing pc games, don't you? Wouldn't it be cool if you could just sit all day and play games on your pc while you also make enough money to live from it? Everybody would like that and I want to tell you that is possible, but as always it's not going to be easy. To get to the point where you can make a living out of playing video games it takes talent and hard work. Today I am going to show you a few ways you could make money from playing video games. Let's get started.
1) Livestreams
One of the methods to make money out of playing video games is to make live streams on platforms like Twitch or YouTube gaming and get paid by monetizing you live with ads or by receiving donations from your fans. Even though at the beginning this might sound quite easy, it a lot harder than you think it is. It may take months to even get 100 persons to watch you regularly and you will not really make until you have at least 1000 people who constantly watch your livestreams. So it could take a few months, maybe year to build an audience but once you get it money will start coming.
2) Join tournaments with cash prizes
Now, this method is mostly for the pros because if you are just a normal person who plays CS:GO 1 hour a day you will never going to be able to participate in tournaments to earn money. First of all you need to join an esport organization. That's pretty hard to do because you have to play a lot of hours until people are going to start noticing your talent. After that, you will join a team of other players and compete with other teams in tournaments for real money. The prizes will be different depending on how popular the games is and what level you are playing at.
3) Sell your skills
If you think you are better than average people when you play a popular video game and you have created your own strategies and know exactly how the game works then you could sell this knowledge. You probably wonder how is that possible. Well there are beginner players who are ready to pay other persons to play on their account in order to boost their rank or level. Also you can create a guide with different strategies or techniques and sell it.
4) Create a blog
This method can be used when a new game is released and it becomes popular very quickly. If you already played the game for a while and you have enough information that you could share with other people than do it. Post articles about tips and tricks to help people improve their skills in that game. If your articles are unique and the game is popular you will quickly gather a big audience since people will promote your blog for free. As soon as you get some traffic coming you can monetize it and make some money.
Hoping too that someone can share that game if there is any
