Many people do this activity for free, but this article tells a person how to make money by writing game hints.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Step 1

The first place I have come across that pays for game hints is http://www.uhs-hints.com/writing/ or Universal Hint System. They pay well if the work is good in their opinion.
Step 2

Another site that pays is called, "Mahalo.com". It pays for walkthrough writing. One must sign up at the website and fill out special forms to become a paid freelancer. The exact site with more information is:

Step 3

Try becoming a paid consultant on sites such as Liveperson.com (formerly Kasamba). The income can be iffy and there is a minimum payout to reach. Whether or not it pays to be on these sites depends on how good the advice given is, how many people want to be a client, the fee charged, advertising, how much time is desired to be invested, and what questions are asked.
Step 4

Try writing articles on hints, cheats, or walkthroughs on sites like eHow, Associated Content, etc. Whatever paid site will take the article, try posting it.
Step 5

Try sites like Elance or Odesk. There may be sommeone wanting web content on sites about video games or someone to write an entire web site about a video game.
Step 6

One can also try classified ad sites such as Craigslist. There are occasional job posting on these sites and one never knows when a person paying for game content may show up and post a listing!
