 A game tester’s job is probably the most desirable of all jobs today. You play and you earn. What’s more desirable than that?

Did you know that you could play and earn? 

Game development is a multibillion industry, we all know about that, and game developers do not want to take any risks. 

That is the reason audience feedback becomes important to them. 

Just as movie producers guesstimate their prospects through the rushes they get, game developers guesstimate the prospects of their upcoming games through the feedbacks of game testers. Also, they come to know if there are any bugs in the game that need to be fixed before it can be released.

 Sounds scrumptious, doesn’t it? 

Well, a game tester’s job is really like that. There are both paid and free game testing sites, but it is highly advisable to go for the paid ones because there is big money involved there. You can choose your genre of gaming. 

Whenever there is a game coming up in that genre – which keeps happening all the time – you can apply for testing that. You will be then either given a download link for the game (it could be a demo) or you could be shipped a disk of the game. 

You play it and answer what they are looking for. There’s usually a questionnaire to be filled. Of course, there’s a deadline which you need to strictly adhere to.

 Sometimes you will be playing under pressure, but who’s complaining?

This is a highly legal activity, with an organization built to govern its functioning. This is controlled by the International Game Developers Association, where you can also find a lot of information about the profession. 

You can expect to be paid anywhere from $10 to $200 an hour depending on your reputation as a game tester and the company’s reputation. You need to make a start here to understand the vast potential that exists in it.

There are a lot of different ways to generate traffic, some more effective than others.

 Most people when they’re just starting out only really focus on one or two strategies without ever venturing to find out about other traffic strategies that might work even better for their offers. 

The problem is that we have literally hundreds of sources of traffic you can choose from, therefore being able to know those ones which will ultimately generate the largest volume of traffic is very important. 

Forum Marketing

 For many years, many marketers have made forum marketing their leading source of traffic. Forums are used to quickly connect you to your target audience so that you can find out what they want and then give it to them.

You can use forum marketing as a fantastic way to quickly build your market credibility, especially if your business has just taken off. 

Also, it’s an excellent way of getting in touch with the movers and shakers in the same niche as you are while you research, evaluate and identify your entry points, such as the kind of products that will likely sell, what people are looking for and ready to buy and so on.

 So how do you use active forums to drive traffic to your website in your niche market?

 Well first you sign up to the most active forums in your niche and provide high-quality posts, useful resources and tools to other forum members. 

If you do this correctly, then you will quickly develop a positive presence inside the forums and your audience will start turning to you as an expert or authority in your niche. 

Almost all forums allow you to create a profile containing your website, a short biography and your personal information (name, email and, in most forums, your social media accounts such as Facebook and Twitter). Most forums will also allow you to create a signature, which is going to be crucial to your success. Once you make any post, a signature box is attached to it.

 Within your signature you should have a call to action that links directly back to your site. 

Some forums allow you to put only one URL, but other forums allow you to enter several URLs as long as you can restrict your signature to a certain number of characters, so make sure you know the rules.

Don’t link your signature directly to your sales page; it should go either to your squeeze page (ideally) or your blog. 

You can get a lot of high-quality, targeted traffic from forums, and the best part is you can get started right now.
