Earnings on games using the play2earn system

As we have already told in our other articles about making money on the Internet, play2earn games have helped thousands of crypto-enthusiasts and just gamers around the world earn money. If it seems to you that the hype of this topic has passed with the collapse of the game Axie Infinity, then you definitely haven’t followed this market for a long time. 

 

New play2earn games appear every week

 

How to make money on the Internet by playing play2earn games: everything is arranged here as in typical financial pyramids. That is, those who entered the game among the first, they received the most favorable conditions.

 

The in-game money is usually some unpopular crypto-token, the value of which rises rapidly as the popularity of the game grows. To start playing, you will have to buy a few of these tokens to purchase an avatar or other in-game item. 

 

Thus, starting to play first, you buy in-game currency for cheap and download your avatar. As the avatar is upgraded, the popularity of the game grows and the value of the crypto-token grows, you get a profit. You just have to sell your avatar and withdraw money through the crypto-exchange. Also, in play2earn games, they can pay money for completing quests, so you are not always dependent on the demand for your avatar. 

 

 

For example, look at how much players could earn in Axie Infinity if they entered it at the very beginning and left it at the very hype. 

Buying at the beginning and selling at the peak - players get fabulous profits

 

At the time of writing, the following games are relevant:

 

  • Star Atlas. A space game where players can build and operate spaceships, as well as trade on the space exchange.
  • Splinterlands. A collectible card game where players can fight each other using their cards. Players can earn DEC tokens and NFT cards.
  • The Sandbox. A construction simulator where players can create their own virtual worlds, sell them and earn SAND tokens.
  • Guild of Guardians. A multiplayer role-playing game where players can fight monsters and complete tasks for which they receive tokens.

Earnings on your website and affiliate links

You can earn money on the Internet on games in very original ways. They don't even have to be played. You can make a website. There are a lot of templates and engines today and you don’t need to resort to the help of developers. A site connected to Google AdSense that generates about 2,000 unique visitors per month can bring in about $150 per month, provided that it is taken care of

 

That is, a site with a traffic of 10,000 or more visitors is already a profitable business, and if you replace Google AdSense with other advertising networks from our catalog or promote game offers yourself through your site, this is an even more profitable option for monetizing your work. 

 

How it works:

 

The advertiser can be various mobile game developers who want to get more traffic to their application on Google Play or the App Store, which has a built-in subscription system or internal monetization through in-app advertising. 

 

Examples of offers from the ADLEADPRO CPA network on gaming topics.

Thus, you can more effectively monetize your traffic from the site and earn more!

 

Sale of in-game items and accounts

This way to make money online by playing games is similar to what we talked about above, but it is more stable, since this option is usually provided for games with a huge fan base that is ready to pay real money for upgraded accounts and in-game items. 

 

These are, for example, CS.GO, World of Warcraft, Battlefield, Dota 2, Clash Royale, FIFA, Forza Horizon, GTA 5 Online, Fortnite and others. 

 

How much can you earn from one unit of goods on the example of the game Fortnite

 

There are many marketplaces for buying and selling items and accounts of popular games. Some of them include:

 

  • PlayerAuctions - the world's largest online marketplace for buying and selling game accounts and in-game items.
  • G2G - platform specializing in the sale of virtual goods, including game accounts and in-game items.
  • EpicNPC - a forum where users can buy and sell game accounts and in-game items.
  • Gameflip - an online store that allows users to sell and buy in-game items and game accounts.
  • PlayerUp - platform for buying and selling game accounts, including mobile games and MMORPGs.

 

It is important to note that some game companies prohibit the purchase and sale of in-game items and accounts, so you should read the rules and policies of the game before buying or selling. In addition, there is a risk of fraud and unsafe transactions, so you should be careful when using such sites.

 

Earn money by installing mobile games

In part, this way of making money on games on the Internet intersects with affiliate marketing, which we mentioned above. The bottom line is that many mobile application developers cooperate with CPA networks and order services to promote their applications in the AppStore and Google Play. 

 

The logic is simple: the more your application is searched in the store, the more often it is chosen among competitors and the more users download it, the higher it will be in the ranking. And the more users there are, the easier it will be for developers to monetize traffic within the application.

 

In fact, on sites with various tasks, you can easily find something like "download such and such an application, create an account, play the game for at least half an hour, or upgrade a character to level 7 and no less". 

 

 

This type of earnings is interesting in that you essentially try various games and just get money for it. And by the way, these are the most paid tasks on such sites.. 

 

The only disclaimer is for those who are looking for an easy part-time job, since it is unlikely that they will be able to earn big money on this. 

 

Similar tasks can be found on sites such as: profitcentr.com, seosprint.net, profitcentr.com.

 

Streaming games and creating game content as a way to make money on the Internet

If you are in the slightest interested in the gaming industry, then you have 100% heard about the record incomes of streamers and the lets play genre. Actually, according to the leaked Twitch database on the Web, you can find information about how much you can potentially earn on online streaming just by playing games on the Internet. 

 

Some steps to help you get started in this niche:

 

  1. Identify the game your audience will be interested in and choose your streaming platform: Twitch, YouTube, Facebook Gaming and Mixer.
  2. Buy equipment: good computer, fast internet, microphone, webcam and streaming software (OBS or XSplit).
  3. Create a channel. It's important to create an effective profile that reflects your style and personality.
