right now, selling mmorpg items is the most popular way to make money from playing games 24/7, but that might not be the case for too long. a service has started where you can make money by fragging your opponents in fpses like rtcw. i can see this ending up as our generation’s equivalent of gambling in online casinos.

amazon has a new promotion where you can earn money towards your purchases by answering trivia questions. you get 5c for each correct answer and your accumulated credits can count towards 10% of a purchase. sounds like a neat idea but after trying one out, it seems like they tie in the trivia questions to products that they sell; so they’re not actually trivia questions but more like did-you-know’s. in a sense, you get paid for interacting with an ad, which i guess is a good idea because the products will get more ingrained in you mind.
