[Question] Making money from MMORPG or Dropship?

[ImmortalityXI]

Hi all! I am still considered new to BHW community but I am currently stuck in between crossroads.
I have done so much research here and concluded I am only experienced in either doing a drop shipping site or selling gold from MMO games.

MMO gold selling? : is it worth doing this at this point of time or is it saturated?

Dropshipping : I will resort to this method if MMO gold selling is saturated but I would also like to hear your experience in dropshipping and why is it still one of the best method around. If i start this i would follow https://www.blackhatworld.com/members/festinger.752298/ guide. If there are any suggestions please do point me in the right direction.

Note: I want either one method to be long term plan and hopefully be my primary source of income.

Thanks for helping me out!

gold selling is too much work for few bucks except you use bots, but in my opnion not worth it, i tryed once

dropshipping is better

Well can't give you advice on which method but for sure i can say, if you decide for the MMO one be sure that you dont play that game yourself Worst experience myself wasting thousand of dollars worth of ingame currency

Thank you so much. You have a good point. WoW bots are hard to come by and other MMO's ive checked currently have saturated market. Even if i sell accounts after leveling up and stuff would cost so much time and little income.

MMORPG is a dying genre. Kids nowadays prefer action games with short attention span that require quick reflexes more than any knowledge. So I suggest you either look up only viral games and research making money methods there or just drop it and start your journey with dropshipping.

I easily sell OSRS gold still theres a huge market, even for RS3. I’ve been doing it for 10 years tho.

It takes a lot of money upfront to make $$ off MMO Gold unless you farm it all yourself.

Or do what the top sellers are doing, start a site filled with individual sellers, contract the gold sale to one of them whenever a sale is made

Go for dropship. It's hard but if you market it properly it can be a long-term business for you.

The game has never been saturated, just trying to find a new style to sell it, and it will be a gold mine for you

Both, but with games don't just focus on selling gold. MMO is still a good niche if you can find right target audience. Some sellers on Playerup are making great sales.

I am most probably be moving to dropshipping cause even viral games have their in house cash shops which makes gold farming worthless. (just found out today haha) Thanks tho!

True, if i were experienced as you maby i would have a chance but going against huge titans in the market, i probably need to fork out lots of start up funds. But thanks for the advice tho!

Thanks! I am going to move to dropshipping but currently trying to find a mentor haha (dont really want to fail hard, just want some guidance)

gold selling I think will be a bit complicated if you will work with paypal so if you have no experience with paypal accounts shutdowns It will be a bit complicated.
with shopify dropshipping you will have more space to work with since you can try other products if one product didn't work. with selling gold I think that you are a bit limited. Anyways, I would suggest to test many products as you can with Paid ads, once you got the Winner build the whole website on this 1 product and offer Upsells

Hey thanks! this is what I was looking for. Could you help me with indept explanation on this?
My biggest failure it the past was that I did not know how to test the market. Now I have a rough idea but no clue how to implement it.
As you said test products with ads - lets take FB ads - so I begin creating a FB page with my products in it > list the products on ads > and see which one would have the most viewed? or most requested ? something along those lines im guessing.

This is how usually it being done. Keep in mind that no one run 1 ad and start to booming with sales.
You run at least 10 campaigns for 10 different products.
$5-10 / 15 a day for each ad
You get 1 Winner > you scale budget
You will need a budget and you need to know that even if you test 10 products no one promises you that you will find a winner. So if you don't you just keep on testing. I
