I know there is youtube or creating letsplay videos, but lets be honest everyone does that and it dont pay the bills unless you meet requirements of the YouTube gods.

Im a casual gamer and im just wondering if i can turn this hobby into something like a job? Or should i prepare myself for a actually job in life?

So is it possible to earn real money as a gamer?

also im not sure where to put this sense there are not any money related communitys from what i know.

    My sister streams MMOs and JRPGs as a hobby. She has a very modest following and doesn’t do much to promote herself. She gets a check of $100-$300 every few months. I think it’s a pretty good deal for the effort involved. I tried it for a bit but found out quickly I have nothing meaningful (and barely anything meaningless) to say.

      If she is streaming what she’d be doing anyway and gets paid for just being online, that’s a great way for a bit of extra income for just having fun. Don’t get burnt out that way, and if you decide to do it less or stop, not a huge loss either.
