Let\u2019s get straight into it!<\/p>\n
Want even more money-making ideas? Checkout<\/strong>:<\/p>\n These 10 ideas can potentially lead you to a small side hustle<\/a> or even a full time job, if you're a bit lucky.<\/p>\n Just keep in mind, some of these ideas will require you to have a decent understanding of Minecraft as well as some impressive skills to outweigh any competition.<\/p>\n Additionally, a few of these are achievable with a partner or multiple friends, so don\u2019t hesitate to involve the people you play with on a regular basis.<\/p>\n If you're a serious Minecraft fan and also like design, the Minecraft Partner Program<\/a> could be your best bet to make money with this game.<\/p>\n The Microsoft Partner Program is a new program that allows users to share and sell their Minecraft creations<\/strong> on the enormous in-game marketplace.<\/p>\n If you are talented at creating anything in Minecraft, this idea is definitely for you.<\/p>\n Here are a few things you can create for the Minecraft Partner Program<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Yup, even things like textures and skins are possible to monetize through this program. All you need in order to join this program is proven experience and a love for Minecraft.<\/p>\n Basically, if you can show that you have an impressive portfolio of high quality content that you\u2019ve shared to Minecraft before, you can apply for this partnership!<\/p>\n To apply, head over to the Minecraft Partner Program website and click apply now. You\u2019ll need to enter some basic information such as your name, email, and address.<\/p>\n The application will ask you the following questions<\/strong>:<\/p>\n You\u2019ll then be asked to link to content that you\u2019ve created. Any sort of proof helps including direct links to the marketplace, Youtube videos, or Dropbox files.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re confident that you can provide all this information accurately while also providing high quality content, then you have a very high chance of being included in the program!<\/p>\n If you\u2019re into Minecraft, then chances are you\u2019ve watched a Twitch stream or two. After all, that\u2019s where players get most of their inspiration from.<\/p>\n Now, making money with Twitch<\/a> is definitely a dream for most people, but that doesn't mean you can't start working towards that goal today.<\/p>\n If you have a decent computer, entertaining Minecraft skills, and a mic, you can pretty much start streaming today without any issues.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t get me wrong, growing a fan base on Twitch can take a long time<\/strong>. However, if you stay consistent and you enjoy it anyways, then there\u2019s no real harm in trying!<\/p>\n So how do you make money streaming Minecraft on Twitch? There are actually a few ways:<\/p>\n At the time of writing this post, there are over 300,000 viewers watching Minecraft streams on Twitch<\/strong>!<\/p>\n That\u2019s a huge pool of viewers to split the pot and bring some over to your stream.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t forget, you don\u2019t have to be in this alone. In fact, having friends play with you on stream can make for a much more entertaining experience!<\/p>\n Another easy way to make money in Minecraft is to use Buff Gaming<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Buff is a loyalty rewards program for gamers that lets you earn rewards passively for the time you spend playing. All you have to do is download Buff, launch Minecraft through its client, and you begin earning.<\/p>\n Points you earn are redeemable for a wide range of gift cards, gaming hardware, free video games, and other game-related merchandise.<\/p>\n Plus, Buff also lets you earn rewards by playing other popular titles like<\/strong>:<\/p>\n The fact this platform pays you to play Minecraft passively is what makes it so appealing. And it's now branchin into mobile gaming as well.<\/p>\n You won't get rich by using Buff to play games. But if you want to make money on autopilot<\/a>, it's worth trying out.<\/p>\n Download Buff today<\/strong><\/a> or read my Buff Gaming review<\/a> for all the details.<\/p>\n Similar to Twitch, creating a Youtube channel can offer a lot of ways to make money playing Minecraft.<\/p>\n In fact, a Youtube channel might be even easier to grow compared to a Twitch account, especially if you get lucky and a video goes semi-viral.<\/p>\n Now, in order to make money on YouTube<\/a>, you need to reach 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 hours of watch time, so it will take a bit of grinding to get there. However, if you're consistent and work to promote your channel, there's no reason why you can't get there!<\/p>\n In fact, the WebMonkey YouTube channel<\/a> just started earlier this year, and it's already over 7,000 subscribers with 29 videos:<\/p>\n If you have a mic, computer, and possibly even a camera, you can easily start recording your Minecraft gameplay and make commentaries or general gameplay footage to upload to YouTube.<\/p>\n Once you have videos up, there are a few ways you can to begin to make money from your views<\/strong>:<\/p>\n If you\u2019re not sure whether you should start with Youtube or Twitch first, I\u2019d highly recommend giving Youtube a shot before anything.<\/p>\n It seems much easier to grow in a community like Youtube, where you\u2019re not limited to only live-streaming.<\/p>\n If you have experience hosting Minecraft servers, you may be able to generate some revenue from your community of players.<\/p>\n While this might surprise you, there's actually a number of private servers on Minecraft where you have to pay to be a member<\/strong> or where you can buy in-game items and skins with real money.<\/p>\n Here are a few ways to make money with your Minecraft server<\/strong>:<\/p>\n There are clearly tons of ways to monetize the server. The only real issue is actually getting people to play on your server consistently.<\/p>\n If you want to stand out, you need to create something that stands out in comparison to other servers.<\/p>\n Create beautiful architecture, invent new game modes, and keep things updated often.<\/p>\n On top of that, you\u2019ll need to promote your server. Having a Youtube channel or Twitch stream could also help bring players over to you.<\/p>\n Be sure to register your server with all the popular server-finding websites and provide extensive detail as to what is included. This could make or break your chances of getting your server recognized.<\/p>\n But if you get your server up and running, this can turn into a great passive income source<\/a> that's also scalable!<\/p>\n Believe it or not, there's a huge market for artists to take advantage of in the Minecraft world<\/strong>.<\/p>\n People are willing to pay for high quality drawings, paintings, and graphic designs of their in-world characters with their specific skins. <\/p>\n If you have artistic abilities and know your Minecraft well, you can start a seller account on Fiverr<\/a> and charge anywhere between $5-$100 per design<\/strong>! That\u2019s a fun side hustle<\/a> if you ask me.<\/p>\n You can even create YouTube banners for people or logos to help them grow their brand.<\/p>\n The options are endless from turning skins into anime characters, making thumbnails, and custom Minecraft skins.<\/p>\n Most designs average around $10. If you created a piece of art twice a week, you could be making a solid $80\/month!<\/p>\n It\u2019s not gonna make you rich, but if it\u2019s something you love, then it\u2019s a great way to help pay for groceries or funnel into buying more games.<\/p>\n For all my genius Minecraft architects, listen up!<\/p>\n You can actually make money playing Minecraft if you're skilled at the game and know how to construct amazing buildings and maps for people who are willing to pay.<\/p>\n You can make decent cash building things on Minecraft for other people. All you need is a Fiverr account and Minecraft account to get started<\/strong>!<\/p>\n Take a look at some listings on Fiverr and see if your skills can compete with the top sellers. If you can, great! If not, it may be hard to get some sales.<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve ever seen impressive designs in a server lobby, chances are they were built by some guy that was hired to create all those beautiful buildings.<\/p>\n Most gigs average somewhere between $50-$100<\/strong>, but that\u2019s for basic builds. There is a guy on Fiverr that creates entire biomes for large servers and charges upwards of $300!<\/p>\n Pretty crazy since this is basically getting paid to build in Minecraft which is a pretty fun way to make quick cash<\/a>.<\/p>\n As a fan of Minecraft, I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve seen tons of game designs printed on clothing, toys, mugs, towels, you name it!<\/p>\n If you have the artistic ability to create high quality designs that you think would look really well on the products mentioned above, then you\u2019re going to like this idea.<\/p>\n On websites like Redbubble<\/a>, you can create a digital print-on-demand marketplace to sell your artwork.<\/p>\n The best part is, you don\u2019t even have to do any of the heavy lifting! Redbubble takes care of the printing, manufacturing, and technical stuff for you. All you have to worry about is what you do best.<\/p>\n You can design stickers, t-shirts, notebooks, mugs, masks, and over 70 more products!<\/p>\n If you have designs on hand already, you can start uploading designs on Redbubble right now.<\/p>\n The only thing I recommend learning before uploading your designs is how to properly word your products. Search for things like \u201cRedbubble SEO\u201d and write some ideas down to help you rank higher on product pages.<\/p>\n Making money on Redbubble<\/a> can be simple if you know what you\u2019re doing. Learn the basics and you\u2019ll be on your way to successfully selling your artwork!<\/p>\n You can also try websites like Zazzle<\/a> or websites like Society6<\/a> to sell your Minecraft merchandise.<\/p>\n Extra Reading – Selling Printify Products On Etsy<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n If you're still wondering how to make money playing Minecraft and don't like the ideas on this list, you can also consider playing the game and starting a blog about your experiences<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Now, it might be best to keep your blog niche<\/a> a bit broader and to write about Minecraft and <\/em>other video games, but the choice is yours.<\/p>\n However, an advantage of blogging is that you have so <\/em>many ways to make money if you learn some SEO and grow your traffic overtime. Ideas include:<\/p>\n Blogging can also be incredibly lucrative. For example, WebMonkey makes 20k a month<\/a> just from ads, and about $500 a day<\/a> or more in affiliate income.<\/p>\n Of course, blogging is <\/em>competitive, but if you want to make money with creative writing<\/a> and own your own website, it could be a fun hobby to try.<\/p>\n If you want to start your own blog, I definitely suggest checking out this post on how to make $100 per month with a beginner blog<\/a>!<\/p>\n Extra Reading – How I Made $92,000 Blogging In 2021<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n If you're still wondering how to make money from Minecraft, one more option is to sell Minecraft accounts and items for cash.<\/p>\n People use websites like MCTrades<\/a> to sell original Minecraft accounts, ranked accounts, skins, graphics, and various in-game items to other players.<\/p>\n You have to register to post in the forums, but people are buying and selling all sorts of Minecraft items and old accounts.<\/p>\n This isn't the most obvious way to make money from Minecraft, but if you have an old account with a lot of achievements, it might be worth something!<\/p>\n Extra Reading – The Best Ways To Make $3,000 Fast<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Now that you know some of the best ways to play Minecraft for money, here are a few other video game side hustles you can consider to keep on earning:<\/p>\n\n
