To make online gaming into a career, one must follow a set of prerequisites. 

Building yourself an online portfolio

As a gamer, an online portfolio will get you recognition in the industry. Gamers can create their individual identity among game developers, programmers, gaming companies, sponsors, and other affiliate platforms too.

One must know that marketing your progress in the game via social media channels is very crucial. Gamers must know how to promote their game in the market. When a player chooses to make online gaming a full-time career, they need to be well versed with ways in which they can promote their game. This is on the same lines of creating an online presence, but it requires you to be a master at social media.

Exploring programming, animations, sound designing etc

Just like the industry of gaming has bloomed, so has the requirement for people who develop the game seen a steady demand.

So, if you are in the industry of gaming, programming is the road you could take.

Animation is a very important factor in gaming. When shapes change while playing a game, it is because of animation. For e.g. When a gun fires a bullet, it is because of advanced motion capture and blending that the animator has used. Animators are in demand as the gaming industry is experiencing a boom.

Professional gamers can use their expertise to assist gaming brands in developing their games. As a gamer who also streams, you will come across comments and suggestions from your users about the game. You could use this feedback to help the brand you are associated with to devise better go-to market strategies.
