Dear Frustrated Gamer,
Were you wondering how to make a money doing what you like the most - playing video games? Don't worry, In this article I share five different ways of how to make a living in the gaming industry:
- Becoma a Pro Gamer,
- Video Game Tester,
- Programmer/Game Developer,
- Make Money in the Virtual World and Convert it to the Real World Currency
and Blog About Video Games.
I know how it is like to be really good at video games but there are so few opportunities that you could profit on your skills. Sad isn't it? While searching the web I came across several possibilities of how to earn some money in connection with the gaming industry. I certainly hope that some of you will find yourself in any of the options listed below and perhaps receive an extra income from playing, designing or advertising video games at the end of the month.
In 2010, the global growth in video gaming was vastly more than even the most optimistic analyst predicted. So they upped their estimates for this year. And again the growth is vastly outstripping any one's wildest dreams. Although gaming industry is exploding and there are more and more gamers each day, there are still a scarce bunch of possibilities I have encounter and which I will share with you today.

Video Game Tester
Another option is to become a video game beta tester and make a living by testing video games. Sounds cool eh!? This job consists of playing videos games with the intent of finding glitches and faults in the video game that can be fixed or trying to find ways to improve the playability to make it a better product. I have found a lot of testimonials of video game testers appraising their lifestyle of a full-time commitment to test games. Getting up around nine, playing games all day every day and receiving a check at the end of the month%u2026 This is however not for me and I believe for majority of you neither. We want to have social lives as well. However, there are still some features that makes this way of money-making highly attractive for a gamer:- Get to play newest, unreleased video games before anyone else,
- Get free copies of video games
- Get cheat codes, level secrets, and other "bugs" that only game testers know about
