Hey Alex, I read the story about Chris Guthrie how he makes a lot of money playing Halo, he follow his passion and now he makes money, that how you do it,
Marios
That’s true, Marios
Halo was actually one of my favorite games since I was a teenager. I was truly inspired of his story and I realized that anything is possible, even for just playing a game. Passion really does give results and gold coins will fall like rain slowly but surely. I’m totally pumped up, Alex.
I wonder if anybody makes a lot of money playing Counter-Strike? That would be cool, I’m going to do some research!
I believe they do. Everything that people like brings money, actually
I am once a Counter Strike and Halo addict. For sure I would miss playing Halo coz’ I don’t have Xbox 360. I’m now addicted playing DOTA and Crossfire and sometimes I even buy premium memberships and virtual items through prepaid cards. While I’m playing, I also have to figure out to monetize this for myself.
I think so too Alex. Actually some of the best players have their own computer equipment/brands. Crazy!
Thanks for the reading resources. I have tons of blogs in my RSS and always look for additional ones (helpful) to add.
Thank you!
I’m glad you liked them
I’m actually going to re-read them today and take some notes. Thanks again!
I think I need to add all of them in my bookmarks list because it will get me more motivated in making a decent amount of income with affiliate programs like Amazon. Chris really rocks making a huge pot of money with Halo. Amazing!
I’ve already subscribed to all of them
Wow man! You subscribed to them all? We’ll, I think there are lots of things to learn there and I think it’s time for me to subscribe with them too.
Just make sure you do not get overwhelmed with content and can still be productive working on your business too!
Hi Alex,
Thanks for sharing the list, I have yet to read any of these posts and look forward to checking them. Chris’ post in particular intrigues me.
Have a good week
Ryan
You should read them, Ryan. They are great posts
I’ve already read the three topics you have included in this post, but my favorite was Chris Guthrie who have made a good example for me that a gamer can actually make money online. There are only few guys out there who knows that making money through playing games like Halo will make a difference, and thank God you have included Chris in your Sunday Must Read edition.
Cheers for Chris! Hahaha!
Some of the larger games have tournaments all the time and the professionals make 6figures+/year due to sponsorships and equipment. Pretty crazy to get that good at a video game!
Yeah and I’m sure they like it, so they kinda make money with having fun.
Well, anything is possible. Professional gamers are destined for greatness and more rewards are coming through sponsorships. But I like Chris’ idea about making money playing Halo. When I’m successful, I think I need to buy XBox 360 or PS3 as well.
PS3 can be great and bad at the same time! Great for breaks, but can be VERY bad for productivity if you let it, haha
Yup. Chris’ story is very inspiring. You earn a lot while doing the thing you enjoy most.
Exactly
If you want me to choose among the three, I would choose Chris because of the Halo game. He really inspired me a lot that a gamer can actually make money online if the idea is unique or “outside-the-box”. I really missed Halo.
I’m looking forward to check out those stories, Alex. I’m still at the learning stage and I need to learn more about building backlinks and earning a decent amount of money from affiliate programs, etc. This will light up my other torch. Thanks!
I hope it will help
I’ve just read all of their stories, and my favorite was Chris playing Halo. It was actually my favorite game in my teenage years. I’ve really missed playing it (I don’t have XBox right now) but I still play other games like DOTA and Crossfire. It really inspired me man! Another torch was lightened with blazing fire.
Hah, I used to play a ton of DOTA too! W3C custom games for life
This are some good posts, I’m glad you find time to share with your readers what you think is worth reading.
Thanks Alex
Two Alex in one! Great job guys! Hehehe! Alex Panait was right about you man about sharing things to your readers that might appreciate them.
Hey i know this may sound weird alex but since you are like seld employed and spend a lot of time on the computer, is your index finger like bent and curved inwards? And what mice do you use?
All my fingers are weird and I only use a $5 mouse I change monthly. I feel the best with it and I believe it’s the cheapest A4 Tech.
What? I don’t believe about your fingers, Alex. Can you tell us about it that needs you to change mouse every month? By the way, my mouse is also worth $5 and never changed it for more than a year.
Thanks for including Pushing Social on your list. I’ll try to keep the “hits” coming!
Stanford
Thanks for linking to me, I just saw the link show up in my WordPress admin panel today though so I’m not sure why I didn’t see it earlier.
In either case thanks again
