Ways to make money from Pokemon Go

Pokemon Go is more than just a game. It is a gold mine for those who know how to capitalize on the craze of this virtual reality game.

1. Car service to catch Pokemon

New York (USA) has a 24/7 Pokémon Go bus service. This Pikachu-painted car charges $0.99 per trip to take gamers to a Pokéstop (where items are collected) or $24.99 per Gym (Pokémon battle room). The service of hatching Pokemon eggs costs $49.99.

The driver - also a gamer - said he always carries 3 phones with level 20 accounts of all 3 teams Mystic, Instinct and Valor. There is also a place in the car to charge the phones for passengers.

If you don’t feel like taking the bus, you can pay someone to walk for you. They will take your account and walk to hatch the eggs. The usual price is $2 for eggs that need to walk 2km to hatch, $5 for eggs that need to walk 5km or $10 for eggs that need to walk 10km.

2. Hack

For those who are too lazy to move around, they can pay $10 to an expert to use GPS (global positioning system) tricks. Thanks to that, they can catch Pokemon comfortably without having to move.

However, this can get you banned, so it gave rise to another service, which costs $199 and promises to never get players banned short-term or long-term.

Another trick, which hackers are selling for $20, can help gamers get unlimited Pokemon balls. But it still requires players to move.

3. Sell account

To quickly climb to the top without much effort, you can buy a higher level account. Many level 19, 20, and 21 accounts are listed on eBay for up to $600.

If you want a level 5 or 10 account, the seller is still willing to adjust it so you can buy and play right away. Some people even set up websites dedicated to selling Pokemon Go-related items, such as Poketree or PokemonGoAmerica.

4. Advertising

For businesses, Pokemon Go is a bargain that can’t be missed. In the UK, Three used the game to promote its data service. US carrier T-Mobile is also giving away a year of unlimited data to Pokemon Go players.

Bars and small businesses across the US are also advertising their locations as Pokestops. Village Pourhouse in New York claims to be “Manhattan’s largest Pokemon Go hangout,” with $5 Pokemon cocktails. Other businesses are lucky enough to be near key game locations, which has seen a surge in customers.

That's just the beginning. Game developer Niantic also plans to allow companies to sponsor locations in the game. McDonald's Japan recently signed a deal with Niantic to turn 3,000 of its stores into Pokemon battle rooms.
