How you can make real money on the Internet. Games with money withdrawal - real and without investments. way: Create your own online store and start making money on it

IMPORTANT: Some of the games described below are financial pyramids. We do not accept any responsibility for your potential earnings or losses. Read our article about scammers before deciding to play the game:

Games are a good way to spend your leisure time, immerse yourself in virtual reality and have fun. But what if you combine the useful (earning money from games) with the pleasant? I thought about this question when I once again launched a computer game.

Is it possible to earn money by playing? Yes, definitely. The Internet is constantly evolving, and in 2018 this “place” is a full-time job for many people. This has a number of advantages: you do not need to leave home, enter into contracts, or be under the constant control of superiors. You have fun and get paid at the same time.

Make yourself comfortable - in the article I will talk about 15 ways to make money on games, share my results and give a few practical advice.

The gaming community, like any other, has a specific slang that only “insiders” will understand. Before you start making money playing games on the Internet, I recommend studying a small list of basic terms and concepts:

  • Donat-money that players invest to obtain gaming opportunities. You can buy rare items, speed up character leveling, and so on. The second definition is a voluntary donation from viewers to a streamer (applies to game streams).
  • Gameplay(Gameplay) - gameplay. What happens on the screen during the game.
  • Hyde– educational articles, videos on the game from experienced players.
  • MBT– open beta test. CBT– closed beta test. Developers conduct them among users on a voluntary basis before the official release of the game in order to improve its quality.
  • Gold– game currency. Most often it turns out to be gold. You can use it to buy items, characters, and much more in the game.

Games can be divided into genres. It is easy to determine the gameplay from them. There are many of them, but games for making money are mainly developed in the following areas:

  • Shooters. On in simple language- “shooters”. The player controls the character using a first-person view, participates in shootouts and completes various tasks.
  • Simulators. They simulate any life situations or processes in virtual space. There are state simulators (where the player develops his cities), military, football and others.
  • Role-playing games(RPG). Games in this genre will be mentioned frequently in the article. home feature - mass appeal and a large open world. The player can travel through it, complete tasks, develop character skills such as strength, health, agility and others. MMORPGs are very popular, that is, online RPGs in which gamers communicate and interact with each other.
  • Strategies. Games for those who don't like fast action on the screen. In them, the user thinks through strategic decisions, engages in construction and military affairs. A little later we will talk about MyLands - one of the popular games with money withdrawal.
  • MOBA(Multiplayer online battle arena). A genre of online team games in which 2 teams of players, each with 5 participants, control characters and try to destroy the enemy base. Among eSports disciplines, you will see these games more often than others.
  • Economic games. You take on the role of a businessman, entrepreneur and develop your “business” by buying in-game items and receiving virtual and then real income. Such projects offer to start a flower business, raise birds, develop a farm and other activities.

The principle of earning money comes down to purchasing items for real money. These items bring you income (let's say 30% of the deposit per month), and over time there is a payback period, and then you get a net profit.

As an example, let's take the game Golden Mines, in which users hire gnome workers. They mine a certain amount of ore (depending on the cost of the gnome), and the player exchanges it for gold coins, which can be converted into rubles:

Economic browser games can be launched directly in the browser (Captain Obvious). The user only needs to register by providing data (nickname, password, email). It is not necessary to provide information about yourself (first name, last name, age, etc.). This is what the game page looks like in a browser:

The picture shows the game Age of Clones

I suggest you look at the list popular resources:

The list goes on, but the above resources have been tested by time and thousands of users. The diversity is dizzying, but all games with money can be divided into two categories:

1 With increased activity(you need to devote at least 10 minutes a day to the game). The categories include FermaSosedi, Taxi-Money and Age of Clones. These projects are games in which there are several related areas for earning money. The principle of earning money is buying/selling items produced in the game.

For example, in the farm simulator FermaSosedi, you can grow wheat or barley and sell them in a shop (in-game store). Or use them in the further production chain (feed the chickens that will lay eggs). The turnover of funds, production time and, accordingly, profit increase. Therefore, such games can be called “complex” due to the implementation of various earning options.

Advantages:

  • Fraud risks are minimized;
  • Stable income, depending on the player’s capabilities (free time, investment, strategy);
  • Good way pastime (games really captivate and develop);
  • Several directions for earning money.

Flaws:

  • Complex gaming system(you need to spend time studying);
  • The process and mechanics are completely dependent on the actions and strategies of the users (that is, there are “crises”). For example, in FermaSosedi the demand for a product (meat) may decrease, while for another (milk) it may increase);
  • There is a high probability of an “error” that will lead to the loss of the deposit due to the player’s fault.

2 With minimal activity. Their essence: you buy a game item that brings profit. And... that's it. This item generates income, and you just go to the site (at least once a day, at least once a month) and collect money. The category includes games such as: (Rich Birds, Golden Mines, GoldenTea).

Pros:

  • A simple earning scheme;
  • No investment required (you can earn through in-game bonuses).

Minuses:

  • “Pitfalls”, which are mentioned briefly in the rules;
  • There is a high probability of project closure or user ban for no reason;
  • Often such projects are a bait for scammers.

Read more about " pitfalls“I talk about scammers and features of economic games in the article:

In online games with money withdrawal, earnings are based on exchange game currency let's say gold coins , – for real money. Having accumulated a sufficient amount (the minimum threshold for each game is different), you can withdraw funds to an electronic wallet, from there transfer to a card of any bank and cash out.

The user takes on a role (commander of a combat unit, “chosen hero,” traveler, military man, strategist, etc.) and is immersed in the game world, which is populated by various characters.

The player is asked to complete various tasks, fight virtual opponents and interact with other people (for example, join groups).

Browser

Games that run in the browser. They do not need to be installed on your computer. Unlike the games described above, the developers focus on the gameplay rather than the economic system. That is, such projects are more like classic games. Age of Clones and FermaSosedi can be classified in this category, but I think in them the economic system “overrides” the rest of the game mechanics (story, characters, gameplay). What browser games look like:

Features of browser games:

  1. No need to download game files (client) to launch;
  2. It is enough to go through a simple registration (nickname, password, email);
  3. Low system requirements (a browser game with good graphics will run on an old computer, the main thing is that you have a browser and access to the Internet);
  4. In style and gameplay, they are practically no different from client games, which we will talk about later.

List of popular browser games with money withdrawal:

  1. MyLands – real-time military-economic strategy;
  2. XGame (xgame-online.com) – space strategy;
  3. Carnage (carnage.ru) is a role-playing game;

I’ll tell you about the essence of making money using the example of the game MyLands, which I played for several months.

In the game you are invited to become a commander of one of four factions: light or dark elves, knights, demons. The task is to build a city, create an army and go to capture external buildings in which the Black Pearl resource is mined. It can be exchanged for real money.

The game has two modes - free and paid. By choosing the first one, you play the normal game. The second opens the possibility of withdrawing money. I chose paid because I liked the idea of ​​earning real money by playing interesting game.

I invested about 1,500 rubles. Of these, 500 went to pay for a monthly subscription, the rest were spent on in-game services (purchase of items, buildings, etc.) to speed up the “pumping”.

Did I manage to earn something and withdraw it? Unfortunately no. I stopped playing because the further I progressed, the more I needed to be online. 1,500 rubles is not enough to “stay afloat” for a long time - I have to provide funds, which I could not afford.

You can switch from paid to free mode, but not back again. And since I was focused on making money, I had no desire to switch. With more time and pocket money, I could advance further in the game and earn something. If you decide to make money from games, take into account all these nuances and adequately assess your strengths and means.

But I like this kind of income. The game still exists, and it’s not a fact that I won’t return to it in the near future.

How much can you earn in browser games?? If you have “pumped up” well and haven’t made mistakes, then from a few dollars a day. There are prospects, and I believe that this is a great opportunity to make money for those who love games.

Client

The method of earning money is the same as in browser games - in games there is a “special” currency that can be mined and exchanged for real money. Client games run only if there is a client (game files) that is installed on the computer. When you go to the website of such a project, you will see a “Download client” button. Main differences from browser games:

  1. Modern technologies. Browser projects cannot boast of a large game world and varied gameplay. What is the reason? It's simple - “browsers” use the computing power of the browser, and client ones use your computer;
  2. Abundance of genres. You will find “running games”, “shooting games”, and other games. For example, shooters have only recently begun to actively develop in browser applications.

In this section we will talk about games aimed at earning real money. Since the gaming industry is created primarily for entertainment, there are only a few such projects.

List of client games with earnings:

  1. Entropia Universe (entropiauniverse.com) is a rich virtual world where the player can fly between planets, capture them, build spaceships and much more. It can be called a “life simulator”;
  2. ComPet (competgame.com) – competitive pet simulator;
  3. AstroLords (astrolords.ru) is a space multiplayer real-time strategy (MMORTS).

Honestly, I haven’t heard much about ComPet and AstroLords, but I learned about Entropia Universe from interesting news. And here are a couple of headlines:

  • “The player bought a virtual moon for 150 thousand dollars”;
  • “The user sold an artifact (egg) for 70 thousand dollars”;
  • “John Jacobs purchased land in Entropia Universe for $100,000”;
  • “The owner of an asteroid in Entropia Universe sold his property for $635,000.

The game broke the Guinness World Record for the biggest deal in virtual world. The latest record was set by a certain player who wished to remain anonymous. He bought the planet for $2.5 million! This investment has already brought the player more than 50% of the profit, and the payments do not end there.

What Entropia Universe looks like:

How much can you earn? If you believe the information on the official websites of these games, the minimum income of active participants is from $100 per month. For those who earn several thousand dollars, the virtual world has become the main place of work.

Mobile

There are games you can play on mobile phone and make money from it. Here are some of them:

  • Richy Birds
  • Big Time
  • Stepmania

Sale of game currency, items, accounts

About selling items

The easiest way to make money in online games is to sell items, game currency, accounts, characters and other content for real money.

In each game, users can obtain rare artifacts and items. With them, the character becomes stronger and acquires new abilities. But to get them you will have to spend a lot of time completing tasks.

Some players do not want to waste time on this and prefer to spend money by buying rare items from other users.

There is no official trading for real money in the games. But there are several “tricky” ways:

  1. Sale by agreement. For example, in online role-playing games (World of Warcraft, Linage, Neverwinter) there is an “exchange” function - you can give another player any item from your inventory. But, if you agree with the user, you can sell it. You indicate the price, indicate the details and make a “transaction”. The method is quite simple, but there is a risk of being deceived.
  2. Trading platforms. Some games have a built-in “auction”, but in-game currency cannot officially be converted into real currency. Therefore, many users prefer to use exchange sites for selling items (kiberlot.ru, funpay.ru).

I recommend paying attention to Steam. It is a platform where players can buy games, connect with people, and buy/sell in-game items. You can use the built-in “auction” - the system automatically determines the price and puts your item in the queue. However, on Steam, the cost is quite high: sometimes you will have to sell one product for months. Therefore, some players (and me personally) prefer to use sites that simulate the work of trading platforms (for example, ru.steambroker.com, steam-trader.com).

About selling accounts

Some players do not want to waste time on monotonous leveling, which can take more than 100 hours. Therefore, they buy a “ready” account and appear in the game “fully armed”.

Players who make money by selling accounts create electronic mailboxes(sometimes several pieces at a time), “pump up” the characters and place an advertisement for sale. But before that, they study the game in detail and often have extensive experience in it (to reduce leveling time).

Account buyers can be found mainly on thematic forums games. There are also sites where accounts are offered for sale. It is noteworthy that this method is more profitable than trading items:

IMPORTANT: resale of accounts is prohibited in most (if not all) game projects, so there is a risk of getting a lifetime ban. Do not advertise the sale in the game chat, read the rules more carefully.

I managed to sell a couple of items on Steam. I didn’t do this seriously - I just put it up for sale when I received a new item for achievements in the game. And this is what happened:

It didn’t turn out much, but it’s worth considering that I played unpopular games, which are, accordingly, in low demand.

Pros:

  1. Relatively easy and legal earnings;
  2. Combining business with pleasure;

Minuses:

  1. You need to devote a lot of time to the game;
  2. The cost of an item depends on its rarity, and the account’s “pumping”;

Popular games, in which players most often sell/buy items/accounts:

  • World of Tanks;
  • Warface;
  • DOTA 2;
  • Playerunknown's Battlegrounds;
  • War Thunder;
  • World of Warcraft (and other popular MMORPGs);
  • Minecraft.

Earning money from streams and videos

Streams

Stream is a live broadcast via the Internet of all actions taking place on a player’s computer or game console. Popular streamers earn from 50,000 rubles and above. That is, a person starts the game, turns on the broadcast and just plays.

Why do other people watch streams? Most often, to find out how to pass some difficult level in the game. Or in order to learn about some interesting features, techniques, and skills of the game character. But there are also those who are simply interested in watching the streamer, his reactions, and jokes.

Over time (if the stream is interesting, and the quality of the video and sound is good), viewers appear who can send money with any requests (for example, write “Greetings to Vasya Pupkin from Voronezh” on a piece of paper and show it to the viewers) or simply for the development of the channel . For example, a gamer was sent 15,000 rubles. And on the left you can see “TOP donations”.

How can you make money from this?

  1. By attracting users to a website that displays advertising on your streams. A percentage of the income of the resource creators goes to you (approximately 50%).
  2. Paid subscription function. The viewer can use it to stay updated on changes in your channel. Streamers receive approximately 75% of its value.
  3. As for the above-described material support (in short - donation), funds are also distributed (approximately 90% to you, 10% to the site administration).

Popular streaming services:

  • Twitch;
  • Goodgame;
  • CyberGame.Tv;
  • Ok.ru/streams;
  • Gamerstv.

The most popular is Twitch. Here's how many viewers one broadcast of one of the popular games gets:

How much does a popular streamer earn on average?

Streamer WLG (WeLoveGames) earns 150-170 thousand rubles per month, works through the Twitch platform. Mainly engaged in broadcasting new games and gaming exhibitions. The work, according to him, is not easy - he has to prepare the script, design the channel, select costumes and apply makeup. But he combines business with pleasure, which is good news.

Here is another example - Alexander Gusar has been interested in online games since he was 12 years old, and as a student he became interested in streaming. He spent a lot of effort, time and money on “promotion”, but now he has a stable monthly income of 50 thousand rubles. Sponsors approached him with an offer to advertise a fraudulent project for 100 thousand. The guy refused, considering his reputation more expensive than money.

Popular games for streaming:

  1. League of Legends;
  2. DOTA 2;
  3. PlayerUnknown's BattleGrounds;
  4. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive;
  5. Fortnite;
  6. Heartstone.

Videos

Quite often on YouTube video hosting you can see videos about walkthroughs and secrets of games. By recording gameplay on video (screen capture programs such as Fraps, BandiCam are usually used), gamers strive to show the completion of difficult tasks, give advice on how to complete them, make jokes and jokes during games, which also attracts viewers.

The essence of making money: Display advertising on the channel. This is the main income of all video bloggers, although there can be several types of advertising. The main type of advertising is built-in YouTube advertising (Adsense). Income depends on the number of commercial views (that is, advertising views):

You need to view it for a few seconds, after which you can click on the “Skip ad” button.

Bloggers can also advertise something in the video itself by talking about the advertiser or showing their product. In addition, you can earn money from links in the video description, pre-rolls, likes, adding a channel as a friend, PR for your other projects (online stores, game servers, etc.)

So that you understand how profitable this is, I will tell you about one top video blogger who earns millions of dollars from this every month!

2. Oleg “TheBrainDit” Brain. I started with reviews of the game “Minecraft”. Over the years of work on YouTube, he remained faithful to the gaming theme, which prevails on the channel to this day. Oleg has many ways to monetize: built-in advertising, souvenirs, likes, pre-rolls, links in the description, adding as a friend, PR for publics on other social networks, which are also monetized by advertisers, PR for his stream channel on Twitch.

3. Yarik Lapa (Kyiv, Ukraine). The main game is Minecraft. In terms of the number of views, Yarik is not inferior to his colleagues, but in terms of the number of followers they are significantly ahead of him. However, the number of views on the letplayer’s channel in recent months is impressive, so it has every chance of catching up and overtaking the leaders. Yarik’s approach to monetization is not as serious as Oleg Brain’s; it mainly involves built-in advertising, but the numbers are already quite impressive.

4. Dmitry “Kuplinov Play” Kuplinov. Dmitry's topics are varied, although gaming videos undoubtedly predominate.

How to make a cool video or stream?

Based on the material I reviewed, I can say that people are attracted to:

  1. Short but informative videos. Would you want to spend hours watching another person beat the game? I think no. Of course, there are exceptions - for example, the game Until Dawn is like an interactive movie.
  2. Competent, interesting presentation of material. If you start recording a video unprepared, viewers will notice right away. It's better to sketch out a small script and rehearse. Buy good microphone.
  3. Front-camera. Many gamers use them to reflect their emotions while playing the game. This makes watching the video much more interesting;
  4. Good quality video, no “noise”;
  5. Original style, humor. Try to create an “unusual” image that will interest viewers. Also, don't forget about jokes.

After finishing the “filming”, users upload the video to their channel.

How to make money on YouTube by displaying embedded advertising?

To do this, you must have an affiliate program connected. With affiliate programs, you can make money from your YouTube content. By connecting to it, you give another company access to your videos, and they run ads on them.

Earnings are based on selling “special” items to other players in online games. By activating them, users' paid subscription time increases. To access some online games, you need to buy a monthly subscription (average cost - from 500-1000 rubles). This is how developers earn money for their work.

Games with a paid subscription are much higher quality (in terms of graphics and gameplay) than those distributed under the shareware model. You can play the latter at any time, but you can pay for additional content (items) (optional).

Before describing the method in detail, a couple of points should be clarified. When playing an online game, you find yourself on a server where players actually gather. They are pirated and official:

  • Pirate servers. The game is completely free - you just connect to the server. That is, there is no subscription fee behind game time. It is difficult to make big money on such servers because of the audience, which is mainly schoolchildren and the game mechanics do not always work correctly.
  • Official servers. They require a paid subscription (for example, for a month), but you get access to official servers developers who are constantly updated and improved, thanks to which all the mechanics work properly, and in the vastness of the virtual world you will more often meet adequate people who are willing to pay for the work of developers and for in-game services.

Popular games with paid subscriptions:

  1. EVE Online;
  2. World of Warcraft;
  3. Guild Wars 2;
  4. Age of Conan;
  5. LineAge 2;
  6. Aion.

How to make money selling game time?

Obviously, many players are not willing to pay several (sometimes tens) of thousands a year for a subscription. Therefore, online game developers offer to buy tokens (a special item) with in-game currency. By activating it, you get game time.

Let's look at a way to make money based on the game World of Warcraft (WoW). It, like many others, has a free trial period (limited by time or character leveling). At this stage, you can already obtain abilities that allow you to earn gold to buy tokens.

In WoW, having mastered the Mining profession, you can extract natural resources and sell them. The cost of copper, which can be mined in 30 minutes, is estimated at 50 gold (the local game currency). The cost of silver is from 350 to 500 gold. The price of the token is from 30,000 to 50,000 gold.

Bypassing simple calculations, we find that in a few months a player can accumulate tokens for several years of subscription, and thus continue the “business”. You can sell a token directly in your inventory and receive money to your Battle.net account (the website of the game developer Blizzard), and then withdraw it to payment systems.

Note: the described method is only relevant for World of Warcraft. Analogs of such “professions” and ores are present in other MMORPGs.

How much can you earn?

If you devote a lot of time to the game and know the intricacies of its game mechanics, then from 5,000 rubles per month. Having upgraded your character to the maximum level and developed all the necessary skills to “earn money,” this amount will increase several times.

Pros:

  1. Suitable for all people, even those who do not understand MMORPGs;
  2. The increase in earnings is proportional to the time spent;

Minuses:

  1. High competition;
  2. It takes a lot of time (for example, at first you will need to spend 12 hours a day playing the game in order to get a stable income).

Driving, mentoring (help from experienced players)

The more often a person plays computer games, the sooner he sharpens his skills. For example, in an RPG, an experienced player knows how to level up a character faster, get better artifacts (game items), and more.

Beginners who want to achieve perfection in a particular game, but have no experience, can spend several months on this. For an experienced gamer, this is a one-week task. Often the number of available gaming opportunities depends on leveling up.

Based on assistance to newcomers from “experienced” players, two types of earnings from games arose: driving And mentoring. The essence of the first is the offer of services for leveling up the character on the “customer’s” account, the second is assistance for money in real time.

Let's give a simple example, taking the shooter Battlefield 1. Cool guns are not available to beginners, they are assigned the rank of “private”. Of course, such players strive to level up faster in order to become stronger and prove themselves in battle with new weapons.

There are people who don’t want to spend time leveling up, or they’re just lazy. And they don’t mind paying money to a person who will independently upgrade their account or help them with this. And after some time, the “newbie” will be able to fully express himself in this shooter.

Advantages:

  1. Enjoyment of the gameplay (playing for other people’s money);
  2. Increase productivity by using tricks. For example, you can connect a partner who will pump at night.

Flaws:

  1. Great work. In fact, you need to spend at least 8 hours a day on the computer to get the fastest build possible;
  2. Lack of clients. Orders for driving or mentoring are rare, because the main contingent is schoolchildren who have little money.
  3. Low payback.

Where can you find clients?

If you decide to engage in driving or mentoring, an effective way to advertise is to post on game forums or in thematic game communities on social networks.

How much can you earn?

The cost of the work depends on the conditions set. It is recommended to take an advance payment of 50%. Most often, you will need to level up your character to the maximum level, which will take several weeks of real time. The price of a ready-made account can reach up to $500.

The Russian-language website (mmopeon.ru) offers driving services for 200 rubles per hour. If you work 8 hours a day, 21 working days, you will earn over 30,000.

E-sports, or computer sports, is a type of competitive activity that is actively developing throughout the world. Right now, while I am writing this article, the world championship in the online game League of Legend is taking place, the prize pool of which exceeds $4,600,000. An impressive amount, isn’t it?

The essence of making money– participation in video game tournaments. If players win a tournament (or place on top), they receive cash prizes. Why not make money? For professional players, this is even their main job.

Everything appears every year more games on which competitions are held. Example of the most popular genres and projects:

  1. First-person shooters (Counter-Strike, Overwatch, Warface);
  2. MOBA (League of Legends, DOTA 2);
  3. Military simulators (Armored Warfare, World of Tanks);
  4. Strategy (StarCraft 2);
  5. Sports simulations (FIFA);
  6. Card games (Heartstone).

As you might have guessed, most games are team games. However, there are singles tournaments for Heartstone.

Recordings of tournaments are broadcast live on the Internet, often attracting an audience of millions. That is, the players are still becoming famous (albeit not throughout the world). But let's move away from the "ceiling", the "professionals" and try to make money by being an ordinary good player, for example, in Counter-Strike.

How to start earning money?

  1. Form a team, distribute roles, train more often and interact in real life. Your “teammates” should be friends, and not just allies in the virtual world;
  2. It's better to start with local city tournaments. However, if your teammates live in different cities, google the following query: “Amateur Counter-Strike tournaments.” Examples of sites: csgo.starladder.tv, play.eslgaming.com, cgames.in.ua (relevant for CS, but you can also find sites for other games). We win, we get prizes;
  3. What's next? We develop skills we are training, we gain a rating (most games have a rating system) and try to gain attention by winning larger tournaments.
  4. Congratulations! You're almost an e-sportsman.

Why "almost"? You won’t be able to just play and have fun - you need to think through tactics, thoroughly study the game mechanics and constantly gain “experience”. It is more difficult to develop if you play in a team - often it is simply not possible to gather all your friends at the same time. But it is quite possible to make money this way.

How much can you earn?

The Sk Gaming team, participating in CS:GO shooter tournaments, earned $1,799,973 in 2016. The Chinese team Wings Gaming, playing DOTA 2, set a record for earnings, receiving $9,583,325 in 2016. The above amounts can be divided by 5 , and you get the earnings of one player for the year. The average earnings of professional players in the CIS are $500 (30,000 rubles) per month.

Game Tester

But what if you just play the game and earn money without going through various “schemes” and “machinations”? On the Internet you can often see such advertisements:

Such work is considered official by large gaming companies (Bethesda, Valve). The essence of making money– test the game, find critical errors(bugs) and report them to the developers. Obviously, game creators cannot keep track of all the errors, so they “ask” gamers for help for a fee.

But why is the “dream job” an illusion? Let's look at the advantages and disadvantages of this type of income:

Pros:

  1. You can enjoy playing through the game;
  2. Not a bad salary (judging by the advertisements, they pay from 20,000 rubles per month).

Minuses:

  1. Physical and emotional stress. You have to constantly play the same game, day after day. Could you do this for several months?
  2. Discrepancy between work and earnings. Often testers spend much more time on their work than is required by regulations.
  3. Skills, attentiveness, and knowledge in the field of video games are required. The tester’s salary depends on the number of “bugs” found. If a person is unfamiliar with video games, he will probably miss a couple of important points, and if the employer finds out about this, there is a chance of losing his job.

I recently came across an interview with a tester who talked about the features of this work. He mainly talked about the disadvantages such as: low wages, harsh working conditions, lack of respect from the employer and others.

It is not difficult to conclude that the “dream job” is actually a fallacy, as I personally suspected. If you are interested in what the tester said, you can read.

Intellectual, logical and gambling games with earnings

Intelligent

Many people enjoy spending time playing intellectual games. In the process, a person develops intelligence, logical thinking and a number of other useful skills. Today you can earn money from intellectual games thanks to sites where people place “bet” and play with each other.

You can make money on these board games, like chess, checkers, backgammon, dominoes, billiards on the RushPlay website (rushplay.com). There are gambling games such as cards, poker, and slots. Users can hone their skills in the “Games for Interest” section, and try to earn money by placing bets in “Games for Money”:

The NarduClub website offers to make money exclusively on backgammon. There are classic, long and short backgammon. Users can organize tournaments and win good money (the more players, the higher the stakes):

brain teaser

If you like games of intelligence and logic, you will like the following projects:

The essence of making money: choose the game you like, place a bet and play. If you manage to win, continue playing or take the prize. List of games on Igrun:

Game example (Kamikaze 2):

Here, users choose a place to put the ladder and try to climb up. After choosing, stones fall in random places, and if they hit the player, he loses.

This is my main activity - having registered on the Etxt content exchange, I began writing reviews of games, news, reviews. In six months I managed to earn more than 50,000 rubles.

If you already have experience, you can write an interesting article and offer to publish it to a gaming site or magazine. If it is worthy and passes moderation, you will most likely be contacted and offered a job. Popular gaming magazines:

You can start your own gaming blog on the Internet, in which you will describe interesting facts about a particular game. Of course, the topic depends on your imagination - it could be a news blog, a collection of “guides” (articles teaching gameplay), and so on.

Nice style the narrative, experience and usefulness of the material will bring you a permanent audience. On your blog you can advertise for money. Readers can be attracted through promotions and competitions. Perhaps the editor of a gaming magazine or website will stumble upon your site and offer you a job.

How much can you earn? Copywriting will bring you more than 10,000 rubles/month. One of my friends shared income statistics (contextual advertising only) from a gaming blog. On average, with 3,500 visitors per day, the profit is $5 daily. Per month - from 9,000 rubles.

What can you earn the most from?

If you have decided to closely connect your life with games and intend to make money from it, then here is how we have divided the ways to make money from games by degree of profitability. When choosing a way to earn money, you also need to take into account your character, because not everyone can confidently stream in front of an audience of thousands or write articles:

  • Videos on YouTube. Make interesting videos about playing games, tell tricks and tricks, review new games and you can earn decent money. Top gaming channels bring their owners millions of rubles every month.
  • You can earn millions of dollars from this, but it is also the most difficult way to make money. Not only do you need to be able to play cool, but you also need to assemble a team of equally geeky gamers. Add to this a lot of money for gaming hardware, a lot of time for gaming training, and you will understand that it is not so simple. For me, you can earn much easier and more money on YouTube videos.
  • Streams. You can’t make millions on streams, but 50-150 thousand rubles is quite possible. Better yet, combine this method with making money on YouTube.
  • Own blog. This is a long way to earn money, and besides, it requires the ability to write texts. If you are not comfortable with the Russian language and/or don’t like to write in general, then don’t even look in this direction of making money. However, you can earn very decent money in this direction. A site with a traffic of 20,000 people/day can bring you 150,000 - 300,000 rubles. net profit per month. To reach such traffic, you need to write about 400–800 articles. Well, then consider for yourself how long you can do this.
  • Game journalism to order. This is a quick income, since you receive money from the customer immediately after writing and submitting the material. Approximate income – 9,000-20,000 rubles. per month.
  • Game tester. This type of income is more stable. Here you don’t need to look for orders every day on article exchanges, as in gaming journalism. Stable income, 15,000 – 20,000 rubles. every month.
  • Sale of game currency, items, accounts. Everything is quite simple here. play for yourself, and periodically sell the accumulated currency or earned items. Suitable for almost any gamer. But the income is not big, 3,000 - 18,000 rubles. monthly.
  • Driving, mentoring. A specific way to earn money. It’s not suitable for everyone; here you need to be a strong specialist in games. The disadvantages are unstable earnings (2,000 - 15,000 rubles per month), you need to constantly look for clients.
  • Online games with withdrawal. In this type of earnings, you need to love certain games and play them constantly. If you like to constantly discover new toys, then this earning option will not suit you. The income is unstable, you can either earn (1,000 - 10,000 rubles) or lose.
  • Economic games with earnings. The limited number of games is not for everyone. But, in addition to the gameplay itself and the possibility of earning money, you can improve useful businessman skills that will be useful in life. Income is also unstable. You can earn 10,000 rubles. per month, but you can lose the same amount.
  • This option is best considered not as income, but as an additional bonus that is available to experienced players with upgraded characters. No more than 5,000 - 10,000 rubles. per month under the above conditions.
  • Intellectual, logical games. In this type of earnings, you also do not need to count on any big money. In most cases we are talking about 3,000 – 10,000 rubles. per month. Income is not stable and depends on the level of your skill in certain games.

Conclusion

My life is closely connected with games. If earlier I spent a lot of time on them just having fun, today, having studied ways to make money, I combine entertainment with earnings. I mainly prefer economic games, as I like to calculate everything down to the smallest detail.

I also write reviews, reviews and news on gaming topics. This comes easily to me - experience makes itself felt. I also tried to record videos and created a YouTube channel for this. The income was small and then I completely stopped recording videos, but if I continued to do it regularly, then. I'm sure the result would be completely different now.

about the author

I love playing games and it is now one of my sources of income. I devote my free time to making money on the Internet and copywriting. My goal is to achieve success in the field of virtual business.

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. On this page I want to touch on a rather relevant and pressing topic of making money on the Internet. There are quite a few ways to make money online, but not all of them are ideal and not all of them will be equally useful and effective.

I’ll say right away that for the full implementation of some of the options described below, it is advisable to have your own website, and the amount of income will largely depend directly on it.

No, of course, you can make money on the Internet without having your own website, but there are two possible nuances here. Firstly, the income in most cases will be several times - or even an order of magnitude - less than if you use your own, well-promoted Internet project ().

Secondly, having your own Internet resource, most of the income can be attributed to the so-called passive income. That is, you can safely go on vacation, and the flow of money will practically not decrease.

How to make money on the Internet without investment

I probably foresee your skepticism about the fact that you can earn something on the Internet. Many people shout about this on almost every corner, and when it comes to specific amounts expressed in monetary terms, it turns out that these amounts are extremely small, and the work that will need to be done for this is extremely monotonous and tedious.

Yes, that’s true - it’s practically impossible to have a high income online without having certain qualifications. In addition, as in real life, unskilled labor is very, very low valued and, accordingly, paid. But nevertheless, now, from the height of the years I have lived on the Internet, I can responsibly declare that there is money there, and there is it in quite large quantities.

Moreover, I think that the best option is the one that allows receive income without preliminary investments. It often happens that there is simply nowhere to get these same investments, and all fraudulent schemes for making money online are based on taking away a certain amount from you and then scamming you.

Therefore, in the future we will consider methods that will allow us to do it either without investments at all, or by reducing them to a minimum. Later, when your website (and I strongly recommend creating it) begins to generate stable and tangible income, you can spend part of the proceeds on investments in your web project, thereby increasing the amount of future income. But these will no longer be investments, but...

Let's add a little more lyrics and unexpectedly flooded memories. I remembered my first penny in the “unreal world” quite clearly and in detail...

Contacted me on e-mail girl and offered to place a guard (a link to the project she is promoting) at the beginning new article on my blog. She asked me about the price, but I was not interested in this and therefore suggested that she set the price herself.

In the end, we agreed on 40 rubles, and this became my first money earned in. You know, the amount is not impressive, but, damn it, it was so unusual to receive forty rubles for nothing. It was precisely the feeling that money fell from the sky (I absolutely couldn’t believe at that moment that it was real). Somehow unusual and damn nice.

The second time I experienced the same feeling was when, finally, for the first time I managed to cash out an amount from the current account of an individual entrepreneur through an ATM (it was one thing when these were numbers on a computer screen, and quite another when they nevertheless materialized into real banknotes, which I held it in my hands). It was very pleasant, right up to the point of goosebumps.

In 2012, my earnings from contextual advertising alone (then from Yandex) already amounted to more than a hundred thousand rubles per month:

All in all, making money online is quite possible, and the very fact that they can materialize into crisp bills caused me a slight touch and a rather idiotic smile for a long time. Well, this passed over time (when the amounts became large and regular), because a person is designed in such a way that he quickly gets used to everything (especially good things). I haven’t gotten used to it yet and I want to write an article about making money online, fueled by purely positive emotions.

Ways to earn extra money online for everyone

If you don’t have your own website, and also don’t have any special skills that you could convert into hard cash (read about this below), then there is only one niche left. I'm talking about various things that you can do in your free time (sitting at home at the computer). Follow the link below to find more detailed description, but here I will just focus your attention on the most popular tools:

    The most unskilled and not very highly paid work, for a person without any special training. This option is suitable for schoolchildren - as a worthy replacement for McDonald's sweatshops - or people who need money right now (even if not very much).

    As an example of exchanges that allow unqualified personnel to earn money, we can cite:

    1. VKtarget— (Vkontakte, Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, Twitter). They pay for joining groups, liking, telling friends, etc. things. Read about other services and methods of increasing income in the article “”.
    2. Toloka– an excellent solution for students and retirees who want earn money for small expenses. In order to start receiving tasks on the site, you don’t need to study or make investments - which means that anyone can work “for Yandex”.
    3. My opinion And Questionnaire— take part in surveys, accumulate money and bonuses, and then withdraw them or exchange them for prizes. Read about the rest in the article below.
    4. Workzila— remote work for people with different levels of training (even the completely unprepared). You can read the details in my brief.
    5. S.E.- quite a lot of income opportunities (some of them are passive). The service has existed for a long time, has been tested and values ​​​​its reputation very much.
    6. RuCapcha— here they offer to earn money by entering text from pictures (from the so-called ). If you have a tendency to monotonous work, this is for you. There is also a similar service 2captcha, where they pay in dollars.
    7. BestChange- free, allowing you to save (think of earning) on ​​exchanging and withdrawing virtual money to real money (there I took 60 seconds and opened Binance for myself)
    8. — watching videos, installing applications (, etc.)
    9. — services where you can receive shares of Bitcoin (Satoshi) for free with their subsequent withdrawal. Not much comes out at a time, but the process can be repeated throughout the day, and no one limits the number of “coin generators” used.
    10. — the principles of operation and level of income are described in the article provided at the link. Notable examples are Kukomment and.
  1. Advego — this text exchange has an affiliate program where you can earn money by attracting customers and authors.
  2. Textsale— they also have their own referral program.
  3. My business— an affiliate program for the distribution of online accounting services. In fact, it is multi-level and allows you to earn money not only from direct sales, but also from the sales of your partners. The payments are very high. Read more in the article about.
  4. WebArtex- a very young article exchange, which means that income from referrals may be greater in the long term (you will eventually find yourself at the top of the referral pyramid). Read about the nuances of working with it in my recent article.
  5. Quark— an affiliate of a popular freelance exchange.
  6. Binpartner- Binomo broker affiliate program. You will need to join this trading platform and receive 50% of the system’s profit for it.
  7. Paer— an affiliate program that is gaining popularity payment system, where they pay a very decent percentage of the income you attract visitors. Read more at the link provided.
  8. InfoBox- this is the hosting where I host all my commercial and information sites. The affiliate program pays 30% of all the money that will be spent on hosting by the clients you attract (and since the service is high-quality, few will leave it in the future - you are guaranteed passive income).
  9. AliExpress ePN- official affiliate program of the world's largest AliExpress store
  10. RotaBan— in the article about that, I mentioned this exchange and a number of others.
  11. Telderi— receive interest on the amounts received by your referrals from the sale or purchase of sites on this exchange.

Unfortunately, profitable affiliate programs sometimes close. For example, this was the case with Profit Partner, but he allowed me to earn the most money from his affiliate program:

If you ever decide to open your own Internet service (exchange or something else), then be sure to attach an affiliate program to it. Yes, you will lose part of the income on payments for attracted referrals, but this will actually be a viral promotion of the project, capable of immediately attracting a huge number of users.

True, here I want to express my purely personal opinion about making money by displaying banners. You should not overdo it in this matter (as, for example, Terekhov and, possibly, Mikhail Shakin do). Not only will this irritate visitors (although they may get used to it), but search engines, oddly enough, have a negative attitude towards the dominance of banners on the page.

And not only negatively, but also for the abundance of advertising (as well as for its aggressive nature, if you decide to use popunders, clickanders and other advertising blocks that interfere with browsing the site). The fact is that (people who evaluate the quality of some resources, which are then taken as reference points when working on Matrixnet) take this indicator into account and, perhaps, that is why Mikhail Shakin’s blog has such low traffic from Yandex (an order of magnitude less than from Google) .

In general, be more careful with banners. I understand that you always want more money, but you can raise prices and reduce the number of advertising spaces, and at the same time leave income at the same level (that’s exactly what I did).

  • — if the context does not bring the desired result, then you can try to make money on teasers. True, they often have a “yellow” tint, but for forums, entertainment or news portals, teaser advertising can become the main source of income. However, recently Yandex punishes sites for shocking advertising, and it is teasers that most often fall under this definition. Therefore, carefully study the reviews about the teaser network and disable the display of shock advertising in the settings.

    You will find a list of the most popular teaser affiliate programs in the article at the link given just above.

    Selling links— we are not talking about installing link exchange scripts like Sapa, but about manually adding links, the placement of which will be ordered by the advertiser through the eternal link exchanges GoGetLinks, GetGoodLinks or RotaPost. It’s even better to work with Miralinks or WebArtex, because this is the safest way to make money by selling links from your Internet project.

    But you should still observe moderation in everything and not sell too many links, even if this will allow you to get pretty good money. Satiety may set in, after which there will be some decline in your resource in search engines. It’s better to earn a little money from links, and when increasing traffic allows, then switch to generating income from displaying contextual advertising.

    However, I have a project that is very well monetized by selling perpetual links and posting articles, but when I try to make money on it in any other way, nothing works at all, and this despite the fact that this project has good traffic.

    Earning money from affiliate programs is the same as the method described just above, but having your own visited resource, you can rise to a completely different level without spending money on Direct and Adwords to attract traffic.

    It will be possible to earn money in the same systems that I listed just above, for example, GoGetLinks , MegaIndex , MiraLinks , GetGoodLinks or My business, placing advertising banners of affiliate programs on your website (or simply referral links in thematic texts) or any other affiliate programs that will coincide or partially overlap in topic with your resource. The best part is that this income will be completely passive and therefore even more enjoyable.

    Advertising articles and announcements- it seems that this is a dead-end option for an Internet project, because readers will turn away and not return. However, in mine I mentioned Devaka. Look at his page on the services he provides to see how much it costs to order one advertising post or announcement from him. Now tell me, do they bother you when reading the blog? For example, I don’t care at all, because the author knows how to play it all out very well and put it into a digestible form.

    Another thing is that you first need to gain a huge reserve of authority, so that you have something to waste when deciding to publish advertising posts. It was only four years later that I switched to this practice, and you know what? I liked it. Money is money, but there is another reason.

    The process of choosing a topic for the next article is not always straightforward for me (the agony of choice sometimes lasts for days), and when the choice of topic is made for me, all I can do is delve into its study and write as detailed as possible and, as far as the desire to please the advertiser allows, , honest review. IMHO.

    Oh, by the way, I recently became acquainted with the business social network Linkedin, where people make contacts and, among other things, look for work. Therefore, for those for whom this is relevant, I advise you to try looking for freelance clients or. If I forgot to talk about a method, I hope that you will not fail to mention it in the comments. Thank you very much in advance (at least even for the fact that you were able to read the article to this point).

    In this article you will learn about the popular and most popular ways to make money on the Internet, among which there are options that are directly suitable for beginners. I hope this article will fully help answer your question “How to make money on the Internet without investment.”

    Method number 6. Earning money from affiliate programs (affiliate programs) without a website

    Earnings on affiliate programs - quite a profitable occupation. This method is very actively used not only by beginners, but also by seasoned entrepreneurs of the world wide web.

    Earning money from affiliate programs is typical for earning a good income, and this does not always require having your own website.

    The whole point of getting money is related to the selection of a company or person who is trying to sell their goods or services.

    Eg, Nowadays, quite often, Internet users are offered to advertise a link on a website where they can order a service or product. Each registered partner is given his own link, thanks to which you can receive up to 50% active commissions on programs. At the same time, if a buyer follows a link that belongs to you and orders services, then you will certainly receive additional profit.

    Method 3. Leave reviews on the sites (blogs) of other Internet users and make interesting reviews on promoted products with affiliate links that will direct traffic to the affiliate program website.

    Method 4. You can get a good income by having your own high-quality subscriber base ( from 500 - 1000 people and more).

    If you already have your own website (or blog), then it will be easier for you to make money on the Internet, but if you don’t have it yet, then you need to create it and the sooner you do this, the better it will be.

    How to create your own website - general information for beginners

    But there is a way out here too – you can hire a webmaster for a specific job or order it from freelancers who, for a fee, will complete your task quickly and efficiently.

    Also, do not worry if you do not have the initial capital to pay third parties for the work. You can handle all the intricacies yourself, but keep in mind that it is better to immediately start creating a website on one of the popular engines (CMS platforms), such as WordPress , Joomla , Drupal etc.

    A few words about website promotion and promotion

    After creating a website, you immediately need to promote it, that is, work to increase traffic to your project and increase the total number of subscribers to the site.
