I could earn a living off minecraft lol
I am earning 6,000 dollars (not counting expenses.) a year from a server and I am 13. If I got more popular I realized I could almost earn around 20,000 dollars a year which is not a very good living but I could if I wanted to haha.
For the sake of a discussion Do you have a server?
EDIT: The title was a joke. I am just saying that would be pretty awesome. I am obviously going to finish school.

For instance, on StarCraft 2 if you make a map and allow people to donate they will sue you for any money you made.[/quote] But... youtube videos with ads? O.o[/quote] Well you could do that... Unless you got over 100,000 views you wouldn't make much. You would also need a google adsense account and a bank account.

As much as i dislike the idea of paying for really, really useful stuff like warps that are free on other servers, good job with making as much money as you have off of a video game.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] XoG Suppressor Whois data lines up with OP's story, the website (cheesecraft.org) was only registered back in April of this year.[/quote] I had 2 servers, Drancraft and CheeseCraft. I had Drancraft for a while then I sold it for 200. It is actually getting popular as well. Here is their donation page [url]http://drancraft.buycraft.net/[/url]. Also, I am not sure the exact time. I know it is around 8 months since I started Drancraft. [Edited on 08.27.2012 3:52 PM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] AgentCOPP1 Okay, most people would say that you need to get a life, but I say that you sir are just completely fricken smart to be able to make an automatic money-making machine. Good job. But can you explain how you did that? That's really cool.[/quote] I don't understand when people say that someone needs a life. Do they mean social life? I am guessing it just means change your life, but why would they be the ones deciding that I have to change my life. [Edited on 08.27.2012 3:47 PM PDT]

Very well down friend. Glad to see people learning new things. Keep it with learning Java and HTML. Branch out when you can. Best to learn new things if you want to continue that type of career. Personally I wouldn't pay, but there are others who enjoy it. [Edited on 08.27.2012 3:40 PM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] BS411 This reminds me of my friend who made a survival server many months ago and when it got around 20 active players, he gave the option to donate and in return you get certain things. He made like $50 before closing that server. And then at the beginning of the summer, he made a prison server and again set up a donation thing. Like depending on the amount of money you donated ($10, $20, $30, etc.) you would get better tier items and abilities like colored text and mob disguises. Since this was a prison server and things are limited, he was able to make money off of giving people leather armor essentially since there is no way to get leather on the server. I'm not sure how much money he has made from the prison server but i'd like to guess it was over $100. But for this server he was actually putting money into the server itself. But it just shows that Minecraft Multiplayer can be very profitable if you know what you are doing.[/quote] Yes, at the start you put a lot of the money to the server itself. When I first started a paypal I had 400 dollars, by the time I was done advertising I had 50 dollars and I earned it back around a month. Just recently we are the top 50 on minecraft server list because I spent 1,230 total on advertising. After the first time I advertised I never advertised again until I get enough donations to pay for it so that way I didn't lose money. On minecraft server list you always want to make sure not to donate more money then the top person on the page you are on. If you do that then you are on the bottom of the next page which no one ever looks at, so there is a strategy to it. My brother was the main reason I kept with the server for the server was called drancraft at one point. I actually sold that server for 200 and made cheesecraft, because I wanted a fresh start.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] brmd sloop1OO1 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] St Major Dan Why did I see a notice that a bed is $25? Are you sure you're not EA?[/quote] I don't think you read the donation page right. I would link it to you, but I will more then likely be banned for trying to increase revenue or something?[/quote][/quote] That's the one. I would not make a bed 25 dollars haha.
