21. Work As A Games Writer/Journalist

If you don’t want to start you own blog, why not try to break into the world of writing by offering your services to existing websites and writing about video games for them?

You could write things like reviews and interviews for a specific game, genre or industry – and writing for an existing site means you can get paid on a per-article or per-view basis as a freelancer.

Of course, this is a very competitive field – loads of people want to write about gaming for a living – but if you offer your services on a voluntary basis to begin with, you’ll give yourself a good platform to propel your career from.
