12. Make Gaming Merchandise

Now, this is another entry that doesn’t involve making money directly from playing video games, but it would definitely help if you were a keen gamer.

One of the coolest ways to get paid for your love of gaming is by creating and selling your own video game-inspired merchandise. Etsy, for instance, is a great place to sell T-shirts, figurines, artwork, mugs and more.

This would essentially mean creating a business – and the sky would be the limit when it came to how much you could make. To get started, you’ll either need to acquire goods from places like AliExpress, manufacture the products yourself, or find a supplier to work with to create the products for you.
