25. Start A Gaming YouTube Channel

A great way to earn money playing video games is by starting a YouTube channel – which is one of, if not the biggest, potential earner on this list (PewDiePie, for example, earns millions every year on the platform – and he started with basic video game commentary).

Record yourself playing and just be entertaining! Make your commentary fun, show yourself on screen really expressing yourself, do playthroughs, review new games – that kind of thing. If you’re good at it, you’ll do well.

All you need to start earning money through ads is to have more than 4,000 public watch hours in the last twelve months and more than 1,000 subscribers.
