You’re obsessed with superhero movies, you want to get a degree in science and be like Sheldon Cooper, or maybe you just want the money to go to the biggest Comic Con in the United States and be able to fully enjoy all three days of it. Whatever your nerdy obsession is it isn’t free.

They say that money can’t buy you love, but money does warm hearts and put smiles on faces. They also say it’s the root of all evil, and while that may be so you simply can’t live without it at all these days. Just because money is tight doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be able to have a little fun and do the things you want to do every once in awhile. [Read more…]

The Geek’s Guide To Making Money Online

November 18, 2016 By Tyme

The definition of a geek may be confused sometimes when it comes to determining if someone is a geek or a nerd, but they both kind of fit the same bill. You get nerdy of tech, so you are a tech geek, or you get nerdy over science fiction films, so you’re a film geek. Whatever the geek you are, you can use your passion for that to make some money.

Geek or not, it’s a great idea to find something you love and turn it into a way to make money. When it comes to making money online there are ways you can make a little bit here and there, and there are ways you can make a living at it. It all really depends on how much time you have to devote to working.

Get Geeked About Blogging

Blogging for money is definitely a thing, and there is more than one way to get paid for blogging. You can find a job writing for one of the many geek blogs already in existence, for one thing. In this way, you can often get a steady paycheck while writing about things that interest you, but also probably about some other things you’re less interested in.

You could start your own blog and monetize it. You can do that through pay-per-click advertising, which allows you to have ads on your page that people click and you get paid when they do. You can also make some money by writing guest posts for other bloggers (some pay for this) or you can even charge people to be able to post their own guest posts on your site (some do this and make a good deal of bank with it).

Create Geeky Goodness To Sell

Geek everywhere find ways to create things that show their love for their particular fandom, whether it’s making a Dr. Who necklace or knitting a hat that looks like Deadpool’s face. If you’ve created some of these goodies for yourself you should consider making more of them to sell online. Etsy is one great place to sell geeky handmade items.

Take some time to do a little research so that you can come up with an idea that isn’t already being made by many other people. You want a unique geek brand to win over sales.

Write Fan Fiction

If you have a creative knack when it comes to words you may want to start writing fan fiction. It will take some time to get some fans to buy your writing, but the more you do the more you’ll sell if you’re writing something that people want to read.

Even with low-priced eBooks, you can make a good deal of money. There are plenty of people out there doing just that. Just put your creativity into geeky stories full of nerdy tales and watch the money start coming in. Who needs to be a paperback writer when you have the internet?

5 Ways To Geek Out About Money

August 18, 2015 By dave

Money, or at least the idea of money, is central to oh so very many geek-centered games. Go ahead, start listing all of the games you play that deal with treasure, or rent, or the value of weaponry and armor.

And yes, within each game, you’ll quickly learn the ins and outs of how much everything is worth and how much time you’ll have to spend to get that value out. But why not take it a step further and broaden your concept and understanding of money as a whole? Consider the following as a general pathway.

Investing your money

Research Real Money

If you want to understand how geek money works, start with learning about real money. Learn about real gold and real silver. Learn how rubles translate to dollars, and how value changes with limited resources. You’ll be fascinated how many games represent reality quite well in this regard, and you can use that knowledge to deepen your experience inside the gaming community at large. Even just knowing the language will help you communicate your needs and desires. [Read more…]
