You all know my gaming skills pretty well by now… If making money from gaming required being cracked, I wouldn’t be writing this. I’d be somewhere rage-quitting a ranked match and blaming my teammates. But here’s what I’ve learned: You don’t need to be a pro to make money from gaming. You just need to stop looking at it like it’s a hobby. This post contains affiliate links. If you make a purchase through them, I may earn a commission
If you had told me a few years ago that I’d be sitting here writing a blog on my own website, I probably would’ve laughed and gone back to grinding COD. But here we are. Building ChannlerG has been one of the most fun, frustrating, and rewarding projects I’ve ever taken on. And if you’re reading this thinking, “That sounds cool, but I have no clue where to start,” trust me, I’ve been there. This blog isn’t just about how
When I first heard about affiliate marketing, I thought it was just YouTubers screaming about VPNs and energy drinks for a paycheck. But the deeper I got into gaming, content creation, and building this site… The more I realized this isn’t a side hustle. It’s a real business model when you do it right. Some links may be affiliate links, meaning I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. But these are tools and programs I use
I’ve been playing games for as long as I can remember, and now I’m finally looking into hosting tournaments myself. However, I can tell this won’t be happening for me… Yet. Like everything else on ChannlerG, I’m learning in real-time and sharing my process as I go, so if you’re looking for some ultra-professional guide from an esports veteran, this ain’t it. But if you want a raw, honest look at what it actually takes to set up tournaments, this
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want a viral post. Of course I do. If one of my clips randomly pulls a million views tomorrow, I’m not exactly deleting it out of principle. But the longer I build ChannlerG, the more I’m realizing something: Going viral and building a brand people trust are not the same thing. One gets attention. One creates momentum. I think a lot of creators confuse the two. Why Virality Feels Better Than It
Springfield, Missouri isn’t exactly known as an Esports hub. When people think of competitive gaming, they picture places like L.A., Dallas, or Atlanta, not the middle of the Midwest. But here’s the thing: it’s already growing. High schools are adding Esports teams. Gaming lounges are popping up. Competitive players are everywhere, but there’s no real infrastructure, no leader, no movement yet. Nobody has organized it into something sustainable. So, if nobody else is putting this together, I will. See What
If you are wondering what gaming, business, and real estate all have in common, I’ll save you the Google search: They all require strategy, constant learning, a solid team, and the ability to adapt when everything changes overnight. And trust me, real estate changes overnight. Some links may be affiliate links, meaning I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. But these are tools and resources I use or trust, or wish I’d known about sooner. How
If you’ve ever scrolled through Instagram and seen some 22-year-old “real estate guru” standing in front of a Lamborghini telling you that flipping houses is easy…just go ahead and block them now. The reality is, real estate isn’t as complicated as people make it seem, but it’s also not as easy as they pretend it is. I’ve been around real estate my whole life. I flipped my first house in high school, went to college for construction management, worked with
