“Twitch” and start live streaming all the games you play, narrating it as you go a long. If you have an interesting personality then people would love to see you play. Look for a game where there is good demand. Games that people want to see you play. Make sure you have a unique take on it or a unique type of persona. Share your live streams on all fb groups related to your game, or related to live streaming etc, and start building your followers. Once you have built a following, you can let people donate to you, subscribe to your streams, or even approach companies to advertise stuff for them on your streams. At the very least you can get tons of free stuff to test out, if you promote it in your streams.

Gaming videos – Start a youtube channel and create screen capture videos related to your game of choice. ie. create tutorial videos, walkthrough videos, tips videos, how to videos etc. Videos that people who love that game, will want to watch. Type in related Keywords on youtube to see what people are searching for the most. ie. if you type “mindcraft” you will see that some of the most searched for phrases are “mindcraft house tutorial”. So then simply create tutorial videos on creating houses in that game. You can build a huge following this way.
-If you start getting lots of views, then you can join Youtube’s ads network, and start getting paid for your views. You can make $10+ per 10,000 views.
