Livin That Life's video: Gamer vs Side-Hustler Case Study Quit Gaming Motivation gaming business ideas

Just wanted to share 2 stories of two young men I know. 1. Evan’s best friend: Was a near-pro BMX biker. Started gaming all the time. Now he doesn’t BMX as much and will not go pro. Graduating with college debt. Searching for a job now. 2. My younger brother: Was a big gamer (Halo, Xbox etc.). Visited us in Thailand and got inspired in 2016. Started an Amazon selling business on the side of his job. 2-years later, he's making $100k a year of passive income from his Amazon store. Has the freedom to work on his own schedule. Can travel as much as he pleases. Does not need a job. Just some food for thought. Now while gaming IS one of the fastest-growing industries, let's face it, most gamers will not go pro or make $$$ from playing it themselves. BUT, there IS $$$ to be made AROUND gaming -- so perhaps spend some of that gaming energy putting your entrepreneurial cap on and think about how you can take advantage of this exploding market -- e.g. creating services or products or apps that will help gamers solve problems (because very few of us are entertaining/charismatic enough to be popular streamers. But if that's you -- yes! Making $$ from streaming is also a business & building a brand & audience so that's fine). Gaming business ideas: start a gaming accessories drop-shipping store, start a gaming product review site (Amazon affiliate links), start an app that helps you find gaming meetups in your city, start an app/blog that teaches you quick stretches and/or workouts specifically for gamers, start an app/blog that teaches gamers how to cook healthy food, start a dating for gamers app? start a print on demand business on Amazon Merch for gaming T-shirts hmm! Riley in Chiang Mai, Thailand ✌️🌴 - Interview with my brother on how he started a $100,000/yr Amazon business with very little cash investment: https://youtu.be/kseq9i1PwD4 PS. Want some more motivation to quit gaming? This article has 20 Reasons You Should Quit Gaming: https://wealthygorilla.com/20-reasons-quit-playing-video-games/ PPS. Hilarious, so I googled ‘motivation to quit gaming’ to look for helpful articles, and the result (above) is on my friend Dan Western’s site, whom I had on the podcast on this episode: https://youtu.be/mDAJJ3W6_Z0. Guess how much he makes from his website? $500,000 a year. Not bad! (took 4+ years but, worth it?) 😅 __ Share the blog post: https://livinthatlife.com/motivation-to-quit-gaming-start-an-online-business/ Articles mentioned: "College Alternatives" https://livinthatlife.com/college-alternatives/ __ Update: my bro saw this and told me about the whole movement -- which is great. This video is not to say gaming is bad at all -- just that life is a balance, and we all have things that swing it out of balance from time to time. I just had this unique perspective of knowing someone who went from hardcore to hardcore hustler. Gaming is fun - its entertainment. But in my mind, many of my friends also spend hours every day on the computer, but they are building things that will continually pay them $$$. __ My Courses: • Launch a Unique Product on Amazon in 90 Days 💵♻️→ http://livinthatlife.com/amazonmethod • The 10 Best Online Business Models to Start in 2020 Explained 💻→ http://livinthatlife.com/start __ Follow Me: • Daily IG BTS 📱→ https://instagram.com/livinthatlifetv • Weekly Podcast 🎙→ https://livinthatlife.com/podcast Editor: Sreekanta Das.
