Everyone plays video games these days but it's not easy anymore as just turning on your computer and diving into it. Regardless if you play for a career or fun, these tips will come in handy. 

1. Choose the genre and stick to it

Choosing a game on basis of the popularity is fine but you might be more successful if you focus on one genre. You might even notice something that isn't so mainstream but will have great graphics and will help you to focus and perform better. 

2. You need the Right Kind of Gear

Now that you know which game you want to play, it's time to get the right gear for it. You need to know what kind of device you want to use, you need to have a proper laptop, PC, PS or Xbox. If it's mobile gaming, you also need to check if your phone can support the game you want to play. 

3. Organize your time properly

This might sound ridiculous, but if you plan on being a streamer, you will need a lot of time. It's not a joke - you might be looking at video games as something fun and something you do to relax, but if you want to make a career out of it, you will need to put in some hours into it. If you want to stream, you want to have daily content for your viewers. 

4. Practice makes Perfect

Playing too much and practicing a lot is pretty close so you want to watch for that thin line over there. The more you play - the better you get. However, don't overdo it. Set your limits and know when to stop. It's better to practice for one or two hours a day than to cram a ton of hours into one weekend.
