"Making an Earning Off the Video Game Industry: Opportunities"

---

The video game has been a central part of many people's lives in this modern day and age. Once thought to be a thing only for children and 'nerds', now almost everyone actively plays some form of video games, from mobile to PC games to the dedicated console.

The recent phenomenon of Pokemon GO and the recent surge of E-sports to be a massive business over the past few years has shown the paradigm shift of the public. The 2015 DOTA2 E-sports prize pool exceeds the Superbowl ($10.8 million VS $8.5 million.) In terms of spectators, it also eclipsed the World Series and NBA Finals.

Thus, making decent earning off video games is not only viable but have a massive potential on its own. Interested? Here are a few things you might consider to make an earning off your video game hobby:

1. Be an E-Sport Professional
Being a professional gamer is, of course, the dream of many hardcore gamers. However, the entry barrier can be extremely high, as high as the talent and dedication requirement of being professional athletes.

If you are truly interested in becoming a professional E-sport athlete, a huge part of the key to success is to find the right community, even if the game is not a team-based one.

Having a good community can help you hone your skills, as well as making the right connections to pave your way to the top.

2. Make a Video Channel
Game streamers and YouTubers earn more than decent earnings nowadays, simply by playing games and showing it to others. There are many ways of monetization, from advertising to asking donations from members.

Authentic and interesting contents will be the key to success in this business. Your channel can also act as a hub to provide a community to other players, so it can also serve your goal for being a professional player.

3. Be a Game Developer
If you are more into making good games, being a game developer (and/or publisher) is easier (and more viable) today than ever before.

Many indie game studios are thriving to get worldwide recognition in all platforms from mobile to console gaming. The recent success of "The Witcher 3" from a Polish indie company has proven that even small developers can compete with the big boys.

4. Retail Store
Although the competition is tight from the big players of the industry, opening a retail video game store can still be a promising venture. You can set yourself apart by offering lower prices, unique collectibles, and imported items not available in big retail stores, and by providing a place where gamers can hang out together.

As mentioned in many of our previous articles, passion is a very expensive currency and the key to success in many businesses. If you are an avid video game enthusiast, there's no better time to earn from your hobby than today.

The video game industry is expected to grow even bigger at a steady rate, so you can expect longevity and sustainability from opening a business in the industry.
