Many people say playing video games can be a waste of time, but at the same time, many people out there are making a living off of playing games. This guide won’t teach you how to be a millionaire from playing games but it will show you how to make some pocket change to spend wherever you want.
First Option – Selling your “Gold”
There are many customers out there that purchase in game “Gold” because they are lazy to go through all the killing, quests, and non stop grinding to get the gold. So they purchase it instead from the MANY sites that sell it. So find a popular game that you like and has a ton of people playing (more customers) , and farm gold, games such as World of Warcraft, Diablo 3, Rift, Aion Online, and many other popular games all have this gold market. It might be hard to gain the gold at first for each game but as you get higher level, the gold drop would be much greater as you fight stronger bosses, stronger monsters, and do harder quests.
Such as Diablo 3, I myself have played the game and the gold prices can go up to $15 per Million Gold. You can either sell it to other players by finding them on forums and such or the safer way is to sell it to the sites that sell gold to customers, they are always looking for suppliers, but they’ll buy your gold for about 65%. Simply just search up “sell Diablo 3 gold” and you will find a list of sites you can sell to. At first, gold was hard to find in the lower levels, I would get about 1 million a day, but once I reached the max level, I would find about 5-10Million a day , AND about 20 Million + in rare items. Diablo 3 also has a paypal system where you can buy items using your Paypal so its much easier to make money on there.
Second Option – Power Leveling
If you are fast at leveling or have lots of time this can be the thing for you. Once again, many people are lazy to level up their character so they would pay for others to do the work for them. People pay a lot for this type of service, as it requires a lot of work and time. But if you do it with a partner or friend this could be a really easy job.
Third Option – Teaching
In some strategy games such as League of Legends, people want to get better so they hire professionals that can help them improve their game play. Professional gamer can earn from $20-$100 per hour from giving lessons. So just practice a game that you love and then share your knowledge with others, but for a price!
Fourth Option – Play games that PAY you to play
There are quite a few games that pay you just to play them, but these are not so interesting to play, but some people do find them fun at times. Browser games such as Dungeons and Treasures pay their gamers just to play the game and earn gold, the gold you earn from the game can then be converted into real USD or EURO through Paypal. Another example would be ANNO1777.
As of now, these are the main methods that I know for making money while playing online games, more will be added soon whenever I have learned the method.
