Video game streaming has taken off in the past few years, generating an average of over 2 million viewers per day on Twitch alone.

If you are good at playing games and enjoy being in front of the camera then this is a great money making idea. You can stream for a few hours at a time and interact with your audience to foster a sense of community.

After building a significant following, connect with other video game streamers and invite them to stream together. Collaborations often bring in larger audiences, as fans of both streamers will gather to watch live streams and interact with each other.

Streaming platforms such as Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook offer partner programs, allowing streamers to receive ad revenue and tips from their audience. Additionally, video game streamers can make more money from brand deals, sponsorships and merchandise sales.

How much money you can earn depends on the size of your following. For example, Canadian streamer Shroud has over 10 million Twitch followers and a net worth of $8-12 million.
