Having high altitude dreams of playing your favourite games at home while earning money? I’m going to give you a real and honest view of what you need to get started right away.

Computer and video games surpassed the movie and music industry a few years back, being the fastest growing segment of the entertainment industry both in the US and worldwide.

So, games are no longer just games… It’s serious business.

As technology became more affordable and advanced, the 80′s pixels became interactive, living and breathing worlds with amazing graphics and sound and you not only got more bang for your bucks (as opposed to watching a short movie), you could for the first time really BE the hero. And that’s the fuel behind the gaming industry.

Because of the staggering growth and high demand, companies are producing more games than ever. One of the major problems game developers face is game testing. The rapid technology growth where graphic cards, software, PC’s and MAC’s get updated all the time, puts tremendous pressure on companies trying to release their games on time.

This is where you come in!

So, wanna get paid playing video games?

In the low economy of today, there’s plenty of young kids looking for a job of their dreams. If you put the word phrase “gamer tester” in google you end up with over 200,000 global searches per month. If you count in all the variations you end up with several million searches per month. Wow, that’s some serious competition! But don’t get discouraged, I’ve got help coming your way in a moment…

I’ve been playing games for 28 years and I’ve experienced all the growth. Being an award winning 3D artist, bestselling 3D content creator and world leader in 3D graphics training for new and intermediate artists, having been training 1000′s of artists online, I know that creating new products requires a great deal of testing and patience.

Having that said, I know for sure that being a game tester is serious business. It requires a lot more than just playing a few games and say “It’s good” or “it’s bad”. So, how would you go by doing it?

To find out, I just recently got my hands on the bestselling e-book “Become A Game Tester” by Matthew Johnson. Knowing that it can’t be THAT easy, I was positively surprised on how well the e-book described all the components needed to become a highly paid game tester, earning from $15-$50 per hour to $80 and beyond. Matthew truly gives an extremely well balanced view and gives tips on every possible situation, everything from writing your first resume, to contacting companies and all the small tricks and tips along the way of actually doing the game testing.

You get complete lists of several hundreds of gaming companies to contact and get tips on real life time saving scenarios as well as how to scale up your journey as fast as possible. So no, it’s not THAT easy, but it’s a lot easier and will save you lots of time and frustration, having this handy guide on your journey.

If you’re seriously looking to get paid playing video games, if you’re REALLY passionate about this, I can higly recommend “Become a Game Tester”. It’s all in all well over 100 pages, giving you a complete overview of what you need to do, as well as useful pointers on the small stuff.
