7 ways you can make money playing Fortnite

1. Play in 3rd Party Tournaments

Anyone can make money playing Fortnite by playing in an online tournament. Players from around the world pay for their spot in a bracket for the chance to win a prize pool. Platforms such as The E-Sports Hub, Toornaments and GamerzArena are just a few of the sites that host online tournaments.

Alternatively, you could play a custom tournament against friends. Or a similar idea is to join an open LAN party. There are tons of small LAN parties out there where you can compete for money.

Fortnite also has a special in-game tournament with a prize fund of $20,000. However this tournament reserved for top gamers like Ninja, Lachlan and Dakotaz.

2. Sell your Fortnite account

You have won over 100 games and have more than 250 kills on your account. Surely that is worth something? The good news is, it is! The market for populated Fortnite accounts is big. And many sites offer their services as middle man between seller and buyer.

Accounts with a lot of wins and kills will get the most money. And similarly, if you have rare skins or emotes, the value of your account will increase.

A word of caution; this option is frowned upon by the gaming community and by Epic Games. If Epic finds an account that has been sold, they will ban it.

3. Bet on Fortnite tournaments

If you love the game and understand it well, but you’re not a brilliant player. Or if you are good and simply want another income stream, you can also bet on Fortnite tournaments. Whether this is with your friends or betting on pro tournaments, it’s a sure way to earn money.

Websites like eSportBetting, Sickodds and WODuels will convert your strategic knowledge in real money, if you get the odds right!

Subscriptions and channel memberships are a stable way to make money playing Fortnite.

A popular subscription service is Patreon. Patreon is a monthly subscription platform for all types of streamers and gives viewers the opportunity to access exclusive content.

All affiliates or partners on Twitch have a subscription button on their channel. If you’re on Youtube you can offer channel membership, but you must be on the Partner Program. Make sure you’re giving your subscribers the best and most original content so they stay subscribed.

Examples of exclusive content for monthly subscribers include unique badges, emojis, early bird access to events or tickets, access to subscriber only video content, and ad free viewing.

6. Brand sponsorship
Once you have a big enough following, another way of making a decent amount of money playing Fortnite is through brand sponsorship. This means you will get paid by brands to promote or mention their products in your stream.

YouTube owns FameBit; an agency that connects video creators with companies who want to sponsor their content. Twitch on the other hand has the Bounty Board Program which puts you in touch with brands directly through your Twitch dashboard.

Sponsorship can be a great way to make money, but be sure to work with brands and products you actually like to avoid losing your authenticity.

7. Merchandise your brand
If you have a large following on Fortnite you are a type of celebrity, and, as with traditional celebs, your followers value personal connection. By monetizing your brand though the sale of branded mugs, t-shirts, tote bags etc. not only will you make more money, but you’ll also deepen your relationship.

Sites like Streamlabs Merch and Teespring handle the process of merchandising your personal brand from design through to delivery. Merch by Amazon is a good option if you already have your own design as they handle everything else.

Beware of copyright infringement! When creating your designs make sure they are not an exact copy of accessories or apparel offered by Epic games.

5. eSports
ESports refers to a group of players, either playing as a team or independently, that compete in virtual electronic games. The industry is set to grow to $1.5BN by 2020.

1. eSports sponsorship
To get paid playing Fortnite in esports you need to be good! And to be good, you need to be dedicated. Some key tips for becoming a pro gamer are: stay motivated, practice practice practice, buy the right equipment, join a community of gamers, find a team, and enter tournaments. At that point you should be able to find sponsorship either in the form of brand promotion or with backing from an esports franchise.

Brand sponsorship: Due to the influence these teams now have, brands are keen to take advantage of esports by promoting their products and content in exchange for financing. Sponsors could contribute to a large portion of your income.

Team sponsorship: Professional esport team owners or franchise organizations are backed by sponsors or independent investors and behave in a similar way to traditional sports teams. They buy and sell players to compete in the best tournaments and leagues.

They also invest in building audiences on Twitch and YouTube. Considering the size of the esports industry, it’s not surprising that these organizations are paying pro gamers on average $60k per year, and this accounts for only a part of their income.

2. Earn esports prize money as a pro gamer

Epic Games announced at the end of 2018 that they will be providing $100,000,000 to fund prize pools for Fortnite competitions during the 2018–2019 season! The $100,000,000 will be split between many events at different levels of competition around the globe. Fortnite World Cup play will focus on Solos and Duos, but there’ll be plenty of opportunities to squad-up in competition, too.

6. Become a coach

If you like helping people, you can make money playing Fortnite teaching other gamers to improve their skills. Fortnite is all about wins and kills. If you’ve won at least 25 times then you could be a Fortnite buddy. With the popularity of Fortnite, there are literally millions of players that want to get better.

If you want to be a Fortnite buddy you can list your services on sites like Bidvine, Gamer Sensei and SuperProf.

7. Get paid to boost other players’ accounts

So you think you’re pretty good at Fortnite, but just don’t fancy the idea of coaching? Good news, there is a lot of demand out there for Fortnite account boosting. To get paid, all you need to do is go into someone else’s account and play on their behalf. Whether it’s to level up, get wins, complete daily quests or battle pass challenges you will be paid to make a certain action.

Take care though as the industry as a whole does not approve boosting as it is seen as a form of cheating.
