A lot of people come up with different ways to make money nowadays. They all have their different hustles. Some become online sellers while others do YouTube videos. Gamers also have their methods to earn money. But what makes it such a good idea? There are a lot of difficulties in this career so why are so many people getting into it?

Freedom

When you choose gaming to be your career, you’re basically free to do whatever you want. You could choose to be a gamer on Gank, have people hire you to play with them. You could be a pro at a game and help your client reach their desired rank or help them gain the necessary materials that they need to upgrade their weapons. Perhaps even become their coach. Teach them everything you know, observe what they do right and what they do wrong, and just make them become better versions of themselves. Maybe you’re not that good at these competitive games and just want to have a good time. There’s a lot of people who go to Gank to hire gamers to give them an entertaining time. Just some company will help lighten a play through up.

You could also go to YouTube and chase a career in gaming content creation. There are hundreds of gamers interested in this career choice. Lots of types of videos you could do. There’s a walkthrough where you record your gameplays to serve as guides to help your videos complete a certain stage or part of a game. You could also record speedruns to show how much of a boss you are at a game. Calculating every route and knowing which enemies and resources to skip and which to kill and pick up. Gameplays where you just have fun and mess around is also a viable option. Moments when you don’t take the game seriously and have a laugh also rack up some views.

Meeting New People

When you earn money gaming, you’re bound to meet new people. There are so many ways for gamers to connect with each other. On Gank, that’s the whole point. People hire gamers to help with games, get to know each other better, and even become friends. Yes, people hire you sometimes just so you could help them get what they want in a game but most of the time you get to play again with in future playthroughs as well.

Being a content creator will also help you connect with other people. Going to meet and greets could help you engage with your fans. Nowadays it’s hard to do conventions, but you could still interact with your fans through streams doing QnA’s.

Not only are you able to interact with fans, you could also collaborate with other content creators. You could play with other gamers and do challenges with them. Play on servers on games like Minecraft or start a Survival world together.

Learn New Things

Not only will you get to teach your viewers or your clients a thing or two about a game, you get to learn things as well. One of your clients or viewers could give you tip or two on how to properly lane, how to properly move around the map, etc. Even pros could pick up new tricks from time to time.

Whether you go to Gank to have people hire you or go to different streaming sites to broadcast your games, there are lots of benefits when you try to earn money gaming.
