How to Make Money Gaming

Big Mumbai is more than just entertainment — it can also be a lucrative hobby for passionate gamers. From esports tournaments to game commentary, there are many ways you can turn your love for video games into real cash.

The most popular way to make money gaming is through monetization of your content. This includes streaming and creating videos, such as reviews or tutorials. Gamers that have a strong following can often rake in hundreds of thousands of dollars per month from donations from their viewers, ads and sponsorships. Some of the most famous gamers in the world like PewDiePie, Dan TDM and XQCOW have a massive following that has turned into a full-time income.

Another popular way to make money gaming is by renting out your gaming setup to others. Platforms like Fat Llama and ShareGrid allow you to rent out your high-performance PC or PlayStation to other gamers for short periods of time, providing a flexible and reliable income stream. Some entrepreneurs go a step further by opening local gaming hubs or VR arcades, offering rentals by the hour or per session.

Commentary and video game blogging

For those who enjoy writing, a video game blog can be a great way to turn your gaming passion into a profitable business. Write reviews of your favourite games and build a readership that can lead to ad revenue, product sales or affiliate marketing. A strong following can also help when pitching article ideas to news and magazine sites or applying for journalism jobs in the industry.
