Back then, when I was a kid, my mom would always get mad when I played video games too much. Well I can’t blame her, life was hard back then if all you knew how to do was play video games.
Today, the story is different now. You no longer need to feel inferior if all you know how to play video games because nowadays you can get paid to play video games. I mean not only get paid, you can get a salary equivalent to what MBA graduates earn.
1. The catch
The only catch is that to become a beta game tester, you need to understand some technical knowledge of video games and the console you play. That is the only trap. So start now by reading some gaming magazines and websites.
2. Game Review
You can start your gaming career at the comfort of your own home by writing a game review. If your reviews are good, some game companies will be interested in hiring you. Start a blog and tell your friends or post it on a gaming forum. This will quickly attract the attention of some game companies.
One trick I like to do is write an Amazon review. Every time there is a new release, I will buy the game, play it in a week, and write the pros and cons on the Amazon website.
3. Write a guide
A lot of people will love paying if you can show them how to complete the game. Many will rather read the solution than wander aimlessly for hours.
Just take a look at World of Warcraft guides online; people all over the world are willing to pay money to get this guide.
All online games are a good topic to turn into eBooks. You can sell it on eBay and get cash this weekend.
