One of the best ways to make money as a gamer is by creating a forum on a gaming niche. You can monetize your forum with adsense, amazon affiliate ads, or even sell games and game merchandise. It does not take a lot of effort and investment to create a gaming forum. All you need is a domain, hosting, and forum script. You can easily start a gaming forum for less than $300. However, the earning potential is huge. In order to earn from your forum, you will have to build members, when you have a lot of members they will constantly create content, when members regularly visit your forum, there will be a lot of traffic. If you have managed to build a huge community you can easily get sponsors for your forum. As a side hustle, you can also create a youtube channel, and offer reviews on games. You can promote your forum through a gaming channel
