What Does a Teenage Video Game Currency Seller do?

A video game currency seller will play a video game and earn a lot of virtual money on the game. Virtual money is earned by selling virtual items, getting achievements and generally playing the game often. When you earn the currency, you can then sell it online and then get real money instead.  If you’d like, you could also sell your entire account as that will earn you money quickly as well. The responsibilities of a video game currency seller are to earn the money, find customers, sell it to them, and get good feedback on your sales. These are all steps to ensure that you can sell your currency and to be able to sell your currency in the future.

How Much Does a Teenage Video Game Currency Seller Get Paid?

As a video game currency seller, you can expect to earn $5-$8 an hour, depending on how good at the game you are. People who are good at the game and know the best spots to earn money in the game will be able to earn more virtual currency faster then someone who is less proficient at the game. But even if you are good at the game, this is relatively low pay. Even so, you might be playing video games already and now you can earn money on the side for doing something that you are already doing. Another issue with being a currency seller is that there are a lot of scammers that will try to take your virtual currency. They might ask you to give them the virtual currency first and then not pay and run away. These people are something you will have to look out for and may make you lose a lot of your profit. In addition, for many games it is against the rules for you to sell currency. If you are caught selling currency, your character will be deleted and your account suspended. Keep this in mind as you consider doing this.

How Can I Get Started as a Teenage Video Game Currency Seller?

1. Before you begin, you’ll want to pick a game to be able to sell your currency on. This game should be a game that you like since you don’t want to spend hours playing a game that you don’t like just to get in game currency. You’ll want to enjoy the process of getting money, and then reap in all the benefits of the spare cash you can get from selling the currency. Next, you’ll want to make sure the game is on the internet and multiplayer. You can’t sell virtual currency if there’s no one else to buy it in the game, so you’ll need a multiplayer game. Finally, you’ll want to see if many other people play the game and are in need of virtual currency. One of the most common games where people do this is called World of Warcraft. After you’ve picked the game that you want to be selling virtual currency in, you can buy it and start playing.
2. Now that you’ve gotten the game, you will start playing and making your character stronger. It will be hard earning currency in the beginning because you’ll be a low level, but as you get more powerful, it will be easier to make more money. When playing, don’t completely focus on getting virtual currency, because then, the game will feel more like a chore and not a fun experience as the developers intended it to be.
3. Sell your currency. The best way to do this is use a website like this one. Or, you can sell your currency by talking to players in the chat, using the game’s forums, or Reddit. But be careful when selling your currency. There is no official platform for doing this for most games, so it’s easy to get scammed. You might give them the currency that you worked so long for, and they might run off and not pay. Also, when selling your currency, don’t sell all of it. It’s easier to earn money when you have a good amount of money. This way, if you only sell half of your money, it will be easier to regain that and to earn more in the future.
4. Congrats, you’re officially a teenage video game currency seller. Although you might not earn that much money doing this, you’ll be doing something that you enjoy. You’re playing a game that you love, and you are having fun while earning some spare money.
