Dear fellow game designer and gamer,

The world of gaming is a tough one to find your way in. You could expend loads of effort and money on an endeavor and get yourself lost at best or become a laughing stock at worst.

You are here because you want to make money from games. It may be through game design, journalism, or other means.

That’s fine, because there’s one thing you should remember right now about video games:

If you don’t have the essential info about what you’re doing, it is impossible not to fall short

You want to make real money from video games? You’re going to need the right information, or else your efforts
will fall flat.

The world of gaming is a tough one to find your way in. You could expend loads of effort and money on an endeavor and get yourself lost at best or become a laughing stock at worst. Building a game takes organization and good record keeping, many keep files in various formats, having the ability to convert PDF to excel, and keeping spreadsheets of information.

If you still want to make money by playing games, fortunately there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Read on and learn how you can avoid the hazards of modern gaming and game design and pull through.

Selling regular games is the only way to make real money, right?

This is the most commonly held view in the gaming world today. The truth of the matter is that this is completely incorrect.

In reality, you’re losing out big time on other alternatives like countless other people. Selling games is only the
tip of the iceberg.

You are missing out on 78% of the profits that can be made through other areas.

What about making money by just playing video games?

Want to just make money playing video games? We’ve all seen those offers by web sites where you can apparently make money playing video games online. Slogans such as "play game make money" come to mind.

These sites are either trying to scam your bank details from you at worst, and at best you would earn only pennies compared to what you could be earning.

How about making money through playing an online game? Make money online playing these types of games and you're at the mercy of the game's company and you would still only be earning pitiful amounts of money at best through the game. Make money by just playing video games, and you're sunk from the beginning.

Don’t waste time with petty offers about making money by playing games when you could do much better.

 

Learn how to make money from games
regardless of your skills and experience

Variety is the spice of life, and as such you'll learn how to make money from games over a wide range of areas.

These areas are separated into 12 main sections in the course. There's also a Getting Started section to help guide you.

Getting Started

Find out in this introductory secion which sections and methods you should undertake according to your abilities and interests.

Focusing on Game Niches

A game niche is a small but sustainable segment of the gaming market.

Game niches can provide nice flows of income and they remain largely untapped by big companies.

However, it can be hard to find a good niche and even harder to tap into the niche and make money. You could waste lots of time simply looking for a suitable niche only to find that there aren’t enough people within the niche to make it worthwhile.

This section guides you through not just how to find the best suited niches, but also how to make money from them.

Educational Video Games for Kids

Why not educate and entertain at the same time?

Educational games are different from other games, since they have an additional component that teaches the kid about a topic.

Educational games are harder to design than other main types of games, because you have to balance the educational part of the game with the fact that it still must be entertaining.

Learn from this section how you can strike the balance and find out how you can succeed with making and selling your own educational video games.

Programming Mobile Phone Games

There is a huge market for mobile games, since all types of people play them regardless of their technical know-how.

This market is also extremely saturated with existing mobile phone games. As such, it can be hard to get your own games noticed.

Find out the best ways to develop mobile phone games (on a limited budget as well!) and then get them noticed for people to buy.

Dealing with In Game Dynamic Advertising

This special type of advertising consists of dynamically-created advertising content within your existing games.

Dynamic in-game advertising acts as a nice supplement to your existing revenue stream. However if it’s not done right it can be extremely intrusive to the end user, causing people to leave your games in droves.

At the same time the advertising must be in a prominent enough location for a company to agree to advertise with you.

This section teaches you how to juggle the needs of the gamer with the advertiser, while lifting your profits even higher than before.

You also learn about some of the places to go for people interested in advertising in games.

Dealing with Licensed Cash-In Games

Licensed games present the prospect of creating and selling games based on the popularity of a license such as a movie or novel.

The main problem with relying on such a license is that if the license is very popular, it costs a lot of money to get the permission to make the game. If the license is not popular enough then the profits are substantially reduced.

Learn how to avoid the common legal pitfalls associated with this method and how to make games that thrive on the popularity of their license.

Developing and Working with Computer Games

Games must come from somewhere, and that somewhere is from you. You will most likely deal directly with game design and development at one stage.

At the same time you do not want to fritter away money on expensive tools, only to find out later they are not what you need.

As a result I have included this very important section in the video course that teaches you the fundamentals of game development.

You also learn about the best tools you should use depending on your abilities and the types of games that you wish to make.

Creating Advergames with Promotional Advertising for Companies

Advergames are all about advertising a company's product. They are not sold, since the money is made through advertising the product.

The main problem with advergames is finding a suitable company that needs such software to advertise their wares.

If you can’t find suitable companies or even develop the advergames properly then you are sunk from the beginning.

Fortunately this section imparts on you what you need to know about how to make and sell these types of games to other companies successfully.

Handling Online Video Game Advertising

Online web-based advertising is a good way to generate profit from existing web pages on your game site.

You only have a limited amount of space available on your web pages, so using that space effectively is of paramount importance. If you don’t know how to best use that space, then it is wasted on ineffectual advertising.

Learn which pages are best used for advertising, as well as the best places to get hooked up with advertisers (Google Ads isn't the only place in the world).

This section also shows you how to best use the space you have, so that you can make the most money possible from online advertising.

Utilizing Open Source Games

Open source games are games which allow for the use of their source code and components under a particular license.

Some licenses can stop you from using the source code in any meaningful projects, so it is extremely important to know what the main open source licenses are about.

Unfortunately it is also hard to find out what each license is about, because you have to read through and memorize pages of unfriendly legal writing.

However when utilized in the right way, open source materials can greatly speed up development of your own games.

Find out where to get the best open source games, as well as what the main licenses mean in ordinary language.

Use open source games properly, and they will further speed you along to making profits from your own games.

Becoming a Video Game Journalist

The closest thing to making money by playing games is becoming a game journalist.

Game journalism however is not as idealistic as it seems. If you aren’t prepared for the discipline and skills that are required from a decent journalist, then you will find that no one will even read your material.

This section shows you just what it takes to become a game journalist, and it guides you on the path to become the best video game journalist you can be.

Bundling Third-Party Software with Your Downloads

Bundling other people’s software with your own can allow you to generate profits from existing downloads on your site.

You need to be careful when bundling third party software. One ignorant mistake is enough to ruin the entire operation.

Disgusted end users would stop downloading your software and download sites might even ban you if the bundled software is found to be hiding malignant spyware, viruses and other nasties.

Learn how to bundle only the most suitable software to generate additional profits, while avoiding the mistakes that ruin your reputation and turn off your end users.

Selling Other People’s Affiliated Products

Selling other people's products for a commission means no time spent in development but also places more restrictions on you.

Selling for a commission also means less money for you, but this could be greatly offset by selling a product that ordinarily has high development costs.

Learn how to make the best out of selling other people's products and keep away from the complications that will pop up.
