Professional Gamer, Tony "T Dub" Sanders, Reveals...
 

"How I Made A Killing Online Of Over $8,741.20 Per Month Wasting Time Playing Video Games All Day. . .

Or... "How You Can Play Your Favourite Video Games Every Day Of The Week, And Get Paid Handsomely For It, Even If You Have No College Education And No Prior Experience!"

From: Tony “T Dub” Sanders
Date: August 19, 2009

Dear Fellow Gamer,

If you can spend 3-4 hours a day playing videos games, then I can show you how you can let those bills pay itself while you have some serious fun.

My name is T.S. Sanders, my friends call me"T Dub"… And for the last few years I've been paid by some of the biggest game publishers to play their newest game titles.

It was a career I never thought existed, so incredible that most of my friends didn't believe me when I explained what I did for a living. Some still don't.

But I'm getting ahead of myself...

Bear with me because 30 minutes from now, after I tell you what I know, you can start making $15 an hour (or even more) playing videos games. So let me explain how this works.

WARNING: Be Careful Who You

Take Advice From

There are plenty of people out to cheat your hard earned money.

Last time I searched on Google, there are more than 46,300,000 sites on the internet claiming to teach you how to make money playing video games online. Be very careful of those offers because I was burned by all them them when I got started.

First, there are websites promising $135 per hour job offers in the video game industry. After signing up for a few of them for $9.97 - $197.00 each (I was gullible then), I received only a handful of job offers over a period of 9 months. Worse still, they NEVER honor their refund policy, shut down their sites, and disappeared with my money.

Next, there are self-appointed "industry insiders" who claim to have connections with hiring managers for game development companies. Pay them an upfront fee and a percentage of your salary, and they'll give you a job. Even today, I never had to pay them their commission because they flee quickly once they have my money.

Then, there are membership sites giving dangerous advice on how to play games for money. You pay them $47 for the some information you can find readily available on the internet, and before you know it, your credit card gets charged $47 every month for your "membership privileges".

My advice: When you see offers like that online, shut down your browser window and run for your life. Personally, I will NEVER touch another offer like that with an 11 foot pole even if I'm paid to do so. I believe you should never pay anyone to work in a job.

There is, however, a genuine and fully legal way to earn money playing video games. In fact, most people don't even know this industry is fully backed by reputable game publishing companies, and I have relied on them to finance my expensive game addiction for years.

All My Friends Laughed At Me:

"You Get Paid To Waste Time All Day?!"

That's right.

If this sounds too good to be true, I don't blame you. I used to think the same way too.

“There's no way someone will give me money to rest on my bum and play games all day,” Well, guess what?

They already have.

And I have the proof. My own career took off from nothing when I learned the secrets I'm about to share with you.

When I got started, I was making only $8 an hour at a local video rental shop. My income jumped to $30 an hour testing the newest games for a video game developer. With only 25 hours a week, I was making $750 a week – that's more than double of what I used to make working 40 hours a week!

By the end of the year, I was working a full 40 hour work schedule and making $1200 a week. I haven't looked back since.

I'm talking about beta game testing.

The Industry's Best Kept Secret To

Living The Ultimate Gamer's Lifestyle

That Most Gamers Will Kill For. . .

So here's a big clue for you...

It's no secret that programmers make mistakes. After all, you've probably played a game or two that was a little buggy. Just log in to your favorite MMORPG right after a major patch or upgrade. It's full of glitches and bugs.

What you probably don't know is: These big house game publishers bleed cash when a buggy game is released on launch day. It takes only one bad review from any forum, blog, website, or game magazine to make sales plummet down the charts. And with the internet, bad news spreads fast.

Just imagined how much money Blizzard Entertainment lost when they cancelled Warcraft Adventures when it was due for release...

Never heard of it? That's because it never released!

As a professional beta game tester, you get paid to point out mistakes while playing a game! That's the ultimate way to jump into the gaming industry... drinking a coke, lounging back and flipping through the newest blockbuster video game for at least $8-$15+ an hour.

With this dream job, not only do I get a piece of the gaming action, I also get...

An Endless Supply Of The Newest, Biggest PS3,

Xbox 360 and PC Games In My Hands For FREE

It feels like Christmas everytime I stumble on a new kick-ass game. After ripping through my "work assignment", I'll pop the DVD in, put my sound system up high, get some popcorn, and just engage in hours of non-stop gameplay until my next meal time.

And if you think you'll be testing some kiddy games and cheap shareware on the Internet, you're wrong!

I'm talking about the biggest new console and PC games out there, released each year by the big boys... EA, Activision, Acclaim, Nintendo, Blizzard and hundreds more. These guys slave away thousand of hours just to make sure they pass your satisfaction test.

Just look at some of the top selling games in 2008 you could have been playing and getting paid for:

Starcraft 2

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II

Infamous

Resident Evil 5

Believe it or not, these are the companies you can end up playing games for.

Acclaim Games Activision Blizzard Aventurine SA Agetec Akella Alten8 Aspyr Media Atari Atlus Bethesda Softworks Big Fish Games Boonty Disney Interactive Studios Bungie Capcom Cdv Software Entertainment City Interactive S.A.

There’s Only One Catch

 

Now, before you start jumping around like a 12-year-old kid on steroids, here's the catch...

You can't just waltz through the game developer's door and demand to test their newest games. This is a job with very specific expectations. Not to mention it's also one of the most competitive job fields around.

Gamers would kill for these positions... and working hard to land on this career is not enough.

Odds are, you're clueless about what you have to do to get through the door. Thousands have rushed their job applications and even the best gamers I know are still waiting at their mail boxes because theydon't know the rules of the game.

And lucky for you, I got the cheat codes.

Not only have I gone through the conventional steps of getting hired, I've ransacked my entire contact lists of insiders and interrogated all of them.

After figuring out how anyone with no experience can land these jobs successfully, and then field-testing them on subjects, I can tell you exactly what you need to know to get hired fast.

The result from all these years of investigation is a proven blueprint to getting hired as a beta game tester - fast.

However, don't just take my word for it...

 

Here's What Other Gamers

Just Like You Have To Say

About My Expertise. . .

 

"It FAILED to get me a job after 1 month" Ever since I got paid $1,253.00 after testing games for 2 weeks, I never worked a regular 9 to 5 job again. I'm just having too much fun at this... and I still can't believe I'm getting paid. It used to be just me indulging in WoW and other RTS games all day after work or during the weekends when I play non-stop for 6-12 hours, stopping only for pee breaks and my meals. Now, I'm still doing the same thing, except that I'm playing the games ALL THE TIME now and getting paid for it. This guide is probably the best thing the game industry has ever come out with since Dota. I know this sounds cliche... but you simply can't go wrong with this guide.   -Antonio Alvarez

 

 

"The Best Information Of Its Kind" Back when I became a game tester in 2005, I had to go through a difficult hiring process. Companies did not hire many independent game testers back then, and just like you I had to learn harsh lessons figuring out the industry rules all by myself. It was very refreshing to find a guide like this which explains every single detail in getting hired. I even learned a couple of useful tricks to help improve my productivity. I already own more than 300 game titles today as gifts for being a game tester. With this guide, I'm sure to test even more games and get that senior level promotion by the end of the year. If you're a passionate gamer, and don't know where to begin in this competitive career, then I strongly urge you to pick up this guide. -Pete Baker

 

 

 

"Tested 3 Killer Games From Sega!" Tony, when you told me what you do for a living at Blizzcon, I was totally unsure whether I'll be just as lucky because I know it can be extremely difficult for people like me to land on the same job. I have no college education, no programming skills, and my gaming skills are just ordinary. I'm just another guy who just enjoys playing video games - a habit started since I was a child. True enough, it was as easy as you said it was. My gaming friends couldn't understand why a reputable company like Sega would pick an ordinary gamer like myself over thousands of others. I even got to use my high school experience as a trump card to help me get the job, just like you advised. Your guide is extremely useful and I'm grateful to you for passing the information to others who wants a career in video games just like me. -Jeremy Lee

 

 

"My Friends Are Green With Envy For My Job" I must be the happiest guy in work - playing games all day. After I read your guide and followed your instructions, I got my first call from EA to test a sport genre game. I quit my computer repair job after 2 months when I decided to pursue this full time - and never looked back since. Today, I have tested 3 games to date as a junior game tester and have earned more than $1,329.00 . Now that I have more experience, I'm ready to upgrade my salary for game testing. My girlfriend can't believe I'm doing this for a living now. She's so jealous and considering doing a career move to game testing as well. We'll probably be spending more time together "fighting" all day. -Jerry Stinger
