How to start your own online gaming website and make stupid money

When I told my friend that I wanted to start an online gaming website, he asked if I was going to sell Xbox games or Nintendo games. I laughed and told him no. With a puzzled face he asked me if he was going to have a gaming site with those cheap little arcade games he must have remembered from the early 90’s. I told him no. I told him that I want to start an online gaming website where people can play with each other and play new 3D graphic games. He also asked me how I was going to get paid for doing this. So here is the story of how I did it.

Starting an online gaming site is not difficult. There is a lot of software that is already made for you… Prices vary. You should do your research to see if you want different features. You can also customize your website, which I advise you to always do if you want to stand out from the competition. You can customize at Google.com, Elance.com, Readycoder.com, and others. Now, if you really want to make a business out of this, you need to treat your gaming site like a real business. You can have someone else install it too, or pay an extra $20 and have the company you bought it from install it for you. I can show you many ways to do many things for very little money and for free. But I’m talking to the business person who really wants to do really well and start fast. It doesn’t take much to get started, but be prepared to spend a little money to get some results.

Now I know you guys are thinking, well, how do you get paid? There are ways to get paid on a gaming site. There are ads. The best known is Google AdSense. You can sign up for free, and Google, not to get technical, will send one of its robot spiders to look at your website and determine what kind of ads to place. There are also independent advertising companies where you can put popups or banner ads on your page to earn money. Also, if you use mochi ads, you can earn money from their ad network. The way a mochi ad works is that every time a game loads on your website, a commercial will play automatically. You can also sell your links on your website. If you start getting a lot of traffic, people will want to link to you. You can sell links if you want to earn some income as well. And of course, you can sell your own ad space by submitting it to places like Craigslist, game directories, etc. You can also advertise affiliates where they will pay you if they buy the product from your website. With these streams of income coming in every month steadily while you sleep, you’d be a fool not to try starting your own gaming business. Yes, there is a lot of competition, but there is more money than competition. So why not get your piece of the pie?

The key to all of this is getting traffic. You can get traffic from banner ads, Google AdWord services, social networks, etc. I have researched advertising on MySpace and Facebook, which is working very well because no one is thinking of advertising there. So your so-called competition is not there.

I hope this information gives you some inspiration and ideas on how to make money online doing something you love and playing as much as you want. Good luck and never stop!
