Personal and Professional Practice 3: 'Research' Studio Brief - Games Republic

Games Republic is a really interesting way to start earning some money within the industry without having to actually create anything, and it would actually work surprisingly. They have an online shop set up much like The Humble Store and Steam do but they invite people to pick a list of games that you personally like and create your own store on the Games Republic. Then you can advertise your own store as much as you want on different mediums like via Facebook, Twitter or YouTube and then when people buy the game via your link you earn money from it. Its a really nice set up that could be a way of earning money especially if you have a strong fan base following you on different medias, but obviously could be a slow start if you do not, but a good idea none the less.

'It takes just a moment to get your own shop at Games Republic. Pick the games you like, configure your PayPal account and you're set!

With a few clicks you get a piece of code to copy and paste wherever you want - be it a video, vlog, blog, podcast or forum post. When people decide to get the game you have shown them, they can express their gratitude not just with kudos and likes, but also by clicking on your link and buying it from your store at Games Republic. They'll know that their money supports not only the devs, but also someone who helped them make a good decision - you.' (Source)
