Hi everyone, my name is Jack S. I’m going to be a guest writer for this awesome IMI blog, so be prepared to read my nonsense every now and then.
I want to start this article off with a quick question: Who wants free money? Ok, put your hands down. It’s not as hard as you think, because there are many ways to get it, and I’m here to highlight to you one very fun and enjoyable way, through online Flash games.
The world of online flash games has exploded onto the scene since the year 2000, with more than hundreds and thousands of sites dedicated to these little 5 minute to 5 hour games, in various languages and countries. You’ve all probably played it once or twice or a few billion times before, and more often than not wasting your time on it.
So you ask me: Jack, how can I make money from something as time wasting as this? Well, keep your pants on, I’m getting to it.
Well, if you’re an uber gamer, some websites reward their players with cash for a job well done. You need to find tournaments and beat out the others. Just thrash them at simple mouse clicking or button mashing and get money. The best part, you earn it by playing games. Simple, isn’t it?
But I hear you programmers and artist out there, who spend more time looking at the game play and art style rather than the fact you’ve died 500 times at Level 1. Well, if you can’t play them, you can make them.
All you need to do is make your own flash game, using appropriate tools like Adobe Flash. Make it fun, innovative and interesting; no one wants to play another Pong remake in 2010. After that, submit it to a flash game appropriate site, and cross your fingers.
If you’re lucky, maybe the site will feature your game. You’ll get money if it’s a top pick and from sponsors who want to advertise on your game. If the players think its good enough, they’ll give you some tips for your tip jar, provided you have one. Best of all, if it’s featured, your game will receive full recognition and fame!!! But if it doesn’t, you can always try again.
So get on your laptops and PC/Mac now and start getting cash from having fun! This is Jack S, signing out.
