I always thought it would be awesome to have my own place where i can host Gaming tournaments from all genres to Carad games, to video games daily,or even just come in and just play with your friends. The only problem is i dont think it would ever be profitable to actually keep a place running like thatWhat do you think i should do?.--Answer1:Im not sure if you can make a profit off a lan Gaming Tournamnet buisness but I know how you can make a few extra bucks. Not sure if your interested but here goes, I thought I let you know that there are free online money making sites, some of which are scams. However, Cash Crate is by far the best program I have discovered. Unlike many of the programs out there it’s 100% free to join and you will never pay them a dollar. I just joined CashCrate a month 1/2 ago and I am pretty excited that I have already earned money from this, with hardly any effort. There are two ways to make money with Cashcrate: 1. Get paid for completing offers such as short surveys and questionnaires 2. Refer other people and receive a percentage of their earnings If you do consider signing up please sign up under me and I will guide you with helful tips and whatnot. Also, they have a great forum too for help & advice.Here is my link: cashcrate .com /835490.--Answer2:maybe if you had tourneys and charged say like 5 bucks per person. And then each person from the winning team doubled there winnings to 10 bucks. But there would have to be A LOT of people for you to profit this way. You could possibly raise the entry fee, but would risk people not coming because its too expensive..--Answer3:There is a poker tournament that is hosted at a Hotel banquet room from time to time in my area . You could start poker tournaments and keep a mailing list to make it grow. The costs would be minimal because you only have to pay rent for the day of tournament and wouldnt have to rent a place for the entire month ..--Answer4:If youre planning on doing nothing but running tournaments and having people playing games, I dont think it will be very profitable. During the day it will be dead because most people are either in school or at work.How about this... why dont you start a video game/card game store? You could sell all kinds of stuff, from console games to that D&D-type junk. Find a place that has a nice-sized backroom and then host nightly (or weekly) gaming tournaments for after the store officially closes. You could charge, or you could make the games free as a way of promoting your store. Make sure you have Coke and Red Bull and Cheetos and whatnot available for the players, too... theres a whole other profit center. And dont forget about selling your stuff online, too... you can do that when things slow down at the shop.
