An online video-game marketplace is adding to the many ways gamers can make serious money from their hobby.
Gameflip recently announced the launch of Gigs, a freelance platform for gamers.
Its still in beta testing and works, in many ways, like other freelance websites.
Buyers can search through an index of those services, and choose what they need.
The gigs available during the beta test are split into four main categories.
In gaming lingo, carries are the allstars.
Theyre so good that they carry their team to victory.
This gig is for people who have serious competitive skills and can help other players rack up wins.
This gig is for video-game related services.
Entertainers dont necessarily have to be good at games to get paid.
If theyre funny enough, people will pay to play with them.
And sometimes, people just need a healer to balance out a team.
No one likes to play healers.
According to Caracappa, changes are to come after the beta test later in 2019.
Probably not as good as youd like.
It always seems like an uphill battle to build (and keep) a decent amount in savings.
But what if your car breaks down, or you have a sudden medical bill?
Ask one of these companies to help…
Is Gameflip Legit?
The company strives to position itself as a serious contender to GameStop.
The new Gigs feature introduces yet another way tomake money playing video games.
And as with most online marketplaces, that opens more opportunities for scammers.
Until the buyer agrees that the transaction was completed successfully, the funds are held in escrow.
In a Twitter thread, Gameflip asked how much their users save or earn on the site.
Some reported $100 here, $1,000 there.
Others use the site to pay off their student loans.
So much money thousands of dollars.
Need to earn $200 more dollars and I will have paid my off my college loan.
I absolutely love selling things on gameflip.
