It’s almost everyone’s dream to make money doing something they love. For us gamers, it’s playing our favorite games. In this case, Fortnite. Every avid Fortnite player has once thought about making money just from playing Fortnite, it would be a dream come true. Well, we are here to tell you it’s possible.

There are tons of ways to make a decent earning by playing Fortnite. Some don’t even require you to be a pro. Although this article is for Fortnite, you can apply the same methods to any game you enjoy playing.

1. Become an eSports Player

It’s an obvious one but let’s get it out of the way. If you are really good at the game, making money from it becomes very easy. Of course, you must be “very” good at it, because if you want the big prizes you are going to be competing against the best of the best.

On the other hand, if you are like most of us, you can still compete for cash prizes. Fortnite Cash Cups are a great place to start. If you are decent enough you can make a couple of good bucks just playing the game. However, if your skill is not there yet, try competing in local tournaments. You can find a lot of people hosting tournaments on Discord and other Social Media Apps. The cash prizes are low but so is the competition. It’s a great place to start your pro journey.

But it should be mentioned that the pro route is not easy. It’s a long grind, and you won’t see results immediately. In fact, it might even take you months before you get your first tournament earnings. We would only recommend this route to those who are truly passionate about Fortnite and becoming a Pro in it. There are tons of guides on Dignitas to get you started.

2. Content Creation

The other way to make a solid amount of money from Fortnite is creating content about the game. It could be making videos, streaming, or creating short-form content around the game. If you are good at the game, you can showcase your skills in your content, or maybe create guides and educational content for other players. There are a ton of directions you can take with what type of content you want to make.

Much like the pro route, getting successful in content creation also takes time. It may not be as hard as going pro, but it is still hard: you must invest time in producing good content for your viewers. Finding a style and your audience also takes a bit of time.

3. Coaching

While going pro is extremely difficult, there is an easy route. That is, to help other players on their pro journey. To put it simply, to coach and teach them. If you feel like you have the skills of a good teacher and a vast knowledge of the game and its strategies, then being a coach is a great idea. You can help other players identify their weaknesses, create routines to fix them, teach them about strategies in the game, and help them improve their overall gameplay. You might think who would want to hire a coach for a game, but you might be surprised to know that a lot of current pros have coaches helping them to play their best.

You can start off in Discord servers and communities coaching players for free. As you build your rapport, you can start charging for your time. There are also tons of websites that offer a platform for coaches to sell their services.

Coaching is a more realistic and probable way of making money, and it’s what we recommend if you have a lot of experience with the game.

4. Creating Fortnite Maps

If you have a bit of technical knowledge and are creative, then Fortnite has a great system for making money. That is to make Fortnite Creative Maps. You might be surprised to know how much money you can make from creating Fortnite maps. Spoiler alert! It’s a lot. You can start off by creating your own maps or join a team of map makers for bigger projects.

The question is how do you make money from these maps? There are two ways that creators make money from Fortnite maps. First and the obvious is the Support-a-Creator code. It’s a code Epic gives you if you have a certain amount of followers. If anyone buys something from the Item Shop, a small percentage of it is given to you. The other and the better way is the Fortnite Creator Economy 2.0. It’s a way that creators earn money from having players play their map. The more players play the map the more money you earn.

The best thing about this way is you can take any direction you want with the maps you want to make. Maybe a good Zone Wars Map might be your thing or a 1v1 map to duel with your friends. Imagination is the limit.

5. Writing

Although this might be a bit biased coming from a writer, writing is also a pretty solid way to make some bread from Fortnite. It’s not exactly earning money directly from playing the game. But, writing about something you love and have knowledge about isn’t hard. Of course, writing is in itself a skill, and it will take you some time to master it. But it’s one of the best ways to make money just by using the knowledge you have about the game.

6. Offering Services Related to Fortnite

Fortnite is not just a game, it’s an entire universe of communities and fans. There are people who are making their livelihood from Fortnite. There are a lot of services you can offer that are related to the game. For example, if you have a knack for graphic design, you can sell thumbnails, Twitter headers, digital art, and much more related to Fortnite. On the other hand, if you have video editing skills, you can become editors for other content creators. To put it simply, if you have a skill, you can combine it with Fortnite to earn some good bucks.

Conclusion

There you have it, some solid ways to make some money while playing Fortnite. It’s great when your hobby can make you some extra bucks, so hopefully some of these routes might work out for you. But these aren’t the only ways to make money playing Fortnite. Fortnite has gotten so big that you can find a lot of ways to make money off the game. All you need to do is some research.
