Get Paid to Play Video Games-Awesome!

Yes it's true, you REALLY can get paid to play video games.


I'm not talking about as a game tester, where some people do make a decent amount of money to play video games. If you figure out how to get one of those jobs, please let me know :-) Think how cool it would be to get paid to play Madden 2010!


What I AM talking about is the employees at Grinnell Computers. On Friday afternoons, the employees can get paid to play a video game called Combat Arms (by Nexon) while ON THE CLOCK!

Why?
In a quote, Grinnell stated, "It's about bonding." I know what he means be a fan of online game playing with people you know, or the occasional LAN party. It can be a lot of fun.

Employees at Grinnell Computers agree as they tend to shoot their boss whenever possible...online of course.

Electronic Arts (EA Games) has reportedly done the same by letting employees play a particular video game in order to get it out on the market sooner.

It's a WIN-WIN situation!


Get Paid to Wear Tshirts

Get paid to wear tshirts?

That's what Jason Sadler of IwearYourShirt.com does each day now.


Blockbuster Total Access - 2 Week Free Trial

Jason has convinced companies to pay him to wear their tshirt using his body as advertising space.

What's the price?
The day of the year is the amount, so January 1, 2009 was $1 to wear a company tshirt for 1 day. December 31st will be $365 to wear a tshirt for one day.

He not only wears the tshirts, but then blogs about it (hmmm, why didn't I think of that)!

Here's to wishing Jason well in his endeavor! Check out his CNN interview here: Get Paid To Wear Tshirts or you can see how to play games online for money here: Play Games Online For Money.
