So, you love playing video games, but you don’t love working. You have a job that you have to do but which isn’t rewarding and doesn’t give you any enjoyment or fulfilment. Or perhaps you don’t have a job at all and are looking for something that is right for you. Well, you are not alone. But the good news is that it really is possible – although not quick or easy – to turn your beloved video gaming hobby into a job. This article about finding or creating a get paid to play video games job will look at the two main paths that you can follow:

Video Games Tester Job: This is the the one that is closest to purely getting paid to play video games, rather than a job where you play video games as one part but spend most of your time doing other things. You basically beta test games to look for bugs. Follow the link in the first paragraph for information about where to find jobs like this. The main drawback is that although there are jobs out there that pay a decent rate, and which you can do from home ho matter where in the world you are, the majority of people who do this do not get enough work in to do it full time. It can be a lucrative part time job, but that is probably as far as it will go for you, unless you are very good or very lucky.

Make Money Writing Game Reviews – It is most definitely possible to make a very good full time wage from freelance writing. There is also a drawback in this however, in that it will most likely take you at least a year and probably 3 years or more to build up your income to a really good level. You are certainly very unlikely to make much in your first 6 months anyway. But if you have patience and can start part time (perhaps whilst working as a beta tester!) then it can be very profitable indeed eventually.
