Creating Games

Creating games doesn't mean making a giant game of tag across the internet. Its using software (most popular being flash) to make small browser based games for people the world over to enjoy.

There really is a huge market for original game series, sites are willing to pay hefty prices for "the next best game." Its all well and good however the time it takes to learn the action script to allow the game to become interactive is significant.

The best way to make money off selling games is by getting into contact with a gaming site and offer an exclusive contract. However its not the most popular, most game creators opt for the option to add in game ads into their games which they earn on a cost per click basis. The second option pays a lot less and the game needs to achieve a certain amount of success for it to become a high earner.

If this is the route you want to take for making money on the internet, be prepared to learn a lot, and make sure you have all your software up to date as the next big break in the software could mean an incredible game could come out of it. You will have to adapt to the improvements in technology and also to the demands to your clients if you decide to sell the game out-right. The rewards are high but as I say it does take time to get to the high rewards.

The best advice I can give you if you want to make money by creating gives is to

  1. Create a unique original game.
  2. Get quotes from sites that are willing to sponsor you.
  3. Be able to adapt in improvements in technology.
  4. If you start a successful series, keep going with it.
  5. Don't underestimate your game.
