How to make money playing Fortnite

One of the favorite games of people around the world attracts many users who want to relax after a day of studying or unwind in the evening in front of a monitor after a workday.

But can the famous battle royale make money, replacing a regular job? If you've also wondered about this, in this article, we will tell you how to make money in Fortnite, so everyone can find the best way to not only enjoy their time but also profit from it.

Streaming

Live streaming! One of the simplest ways to try yourself and play Fortnite for money. To take the first steps, you’ll need a microphone and (optionally) a webcam. Setting up screen capture software, a couple of minutes to register and configure a donation system — that’s all that separates the user from possible success. Keep in mind that the competition on these platforms is extremely high, so you’ll need to put in significant effort to build an audience.

Here are a few tips on how to succeed. First, a person should have charisma, which will help grow as a streamer. Second, you can create interesting content formats, but we’ll discuss this below. Third, of course, you must be good at playing Fortnite so that large content creators include clips from your streams in their videos:

Once you gain noticeable popularity, you’ll be able to earn money from ads or even become one of Fortnite’s partners, opening up many new opportunities! But what if live streaming isn’t for you?

Creating videos

Creating videos is similar to live streaming at first glance, but it’s much harder to achieve success just by recording Fortnite gameplay. The advantage of videos is that the user doesn’t need to focus on their personality or can avoid it altogether, creating a wide variety of content. A good solution might be creating viral videos with titles that people are actively searching for. For example, guides or compilations of funny moments:

But creating your own shows sounds much more interesting. Here, your imagination is the limit: you can create various modes, specific challenges, or something unrelated to your skills directly. For example, you could review professional players, discussing their style and features.

But what if you don’t have ideas for videos but have great skills? Become a professional yourself!

Competitions

Competitions are the most exciting how to make money playing Fortnite. If you’ve decided to become an esports player, we advise starting small — local or regional tournaments are held everywhere, where you can not only evaluate your skills but also gain some fame, make connections, and possibly win your first money! Usually, the prize at such events doesn’t exceed $200, but remember — this is just the first step towards victory at the FWC!

You can combine this activity with live streaming or video production. However, don’t expect fame and victories to come in your first matches, as you often encounter pros at these events whose skills far exceed yours. Don’t get discouraged! You can ask such a player to teach you the special techniques that made them so great, or simply find a coach.

If you already have multiple victories under your belt and realize the big stage isn’t for you, why not try becoming a coach yourself?

Coaching

One of the most challenging ways to make money through Fortnite skills. To start, the player should gather proof of their achievements. Any podium finishes, even small ones, will do. A suitable option would also be recording gameplay that showcases the player’s skills. The more seriously you take the process, the more serious the earnings will be. This activity can also be combined with creating videos (but it’s better not to combine it with live streaming):

Remember, by engaging in this work, you are responsible for your skills. This job is far removed from the usual relaxation in Fortnite, but it can still bring a lot of enjoyment and pleasant moments of interaction with both beginners and experienced athletes. Lastly, there’s a way where skills aren’t as important, but the ability to create games is!

Game development

If you want not just to play but to become a developer, Fortnite could be an excellent starting point. Epic Games offers the opportunity to create captivating maps and earn a percentage from sales. It’s not an easy task: the user will need programming, game design, and level design skills. Despite the high requirements, if you want to grow as a developer, we have good news — earnings from popular maps can be pleasantly surprising.

So, can you play Fortnite and make money from it? Absolutely, yes. However, it’s important to understand that work, even related to a favorite game, remains work, requiring effort and time. This doesn’t diminish the fact that this activity can become both a calling and the first step toward something bigger!
