Watch how a YouTuber catch Pokemon in Singapore:

Do you want to make some money while you are catching ’em all? Apparently, it is possible.

1. DRIVE TRAINERS AROUND THRU UBER

If you are excellent at navigation and you are eager to earn a decent amount of money, you can consider becoming an Uber driver for Pokémon trainers. Having a car is not a strict requirement as most Uber drivers rent their cars. In fact, Uber Singapore has a list of preferred rental partners.

You simply need to be familiar with the Singapore roads as well as the areas where plenty of Pokémon will inhabit. This type of service has become popular in United Kingdom where an Uber cabbie by the name of Bahri Takyuz charges about £25 or S$44 per hour to drive the Pokémon trainers to the Pokéstop hot-spots in the Capital.

2. SELL YOUR CARD COLLECTION

Take advantage of the current hype by selling your card collection before Pokémon Go hits Singapore!

As an avid Pokémon fan back in the day, you probably have a mighty card collection consisting of the common and uncommon cards. If these cards are still in mint condition, you can sell them online through marketplaces such as Gumtree and Ebay. They can go for about S$20 per card and five common cards can easily bring you S$100! Isn’t that amazing?

You can get more money by selling the rarest cards that may sell for thousands of dollars. When put to good use, that amount of money can help you pay for a loan or a holiday.

3. OFFER YOUR SERVICES AS A POKÉMON

Almost every kid that grew up in the 90’s wanted to become a Pokémon trainer. In time, this childhood dream will soon turn into a reality. Be the very best trainer that you can be by regularly practicing your skills upon the game’s release.

Put this talent into good use by offering to catch some Pokémon for other players. There will always be some players who want to get ahead in the game as quickly as possible, without much concern for the process. They are even willing to pay for it!

For instance, an American named Ivy posted a Craigslist ad that charged for US$20 (about S$27) per hour. What started as a joke became a source of decent income as she got lots of requests from other players including a lawyer and a pregnant woman. That is just one individual…imagine if you were to open a website exclusively for this type of service!

4. “LURE” YOUR POTENTIAL CLIENTS

You can drop a “lure” to attract more customers to your local business establishment, restaurant, or cafe. Find out how you can do this by visiting this helpful link.

Pokemon Go is set to alter the Singapore’s gaming field once it hits the island. Enjoy this newfound game to the fullest, but do not forget to create a line between the real and the virtual world. The greatest adventures are still the ones you share with the people whom you love the most.
