In the past few years online gaming has really taken off. Flash games are more popular with gamers than ever before, and there is an ever increasing demand for talented and innovative game developers. If you're a Flash developer, there are many ways to generate an income from creating flash games.

1. Developing games for clients

This has been my primary income for the past 7 years. You'll need to have a proven track record, which means building up a portfolio of games, but once you start building a reputation you can earn a good income by designing and developing games for clients. In recent years I've created games for such diverse clients as gaming portals, cell phone brands, charities, television companies and even a major league baseball team!

2. Sponsorship

A sponsorship deal usually involves putting a companies logo and branding into your game, and giving them the rights to use the game exclusively (though sometimes non-exclusively) on their website. The amount you'll earn from such a deal can vary dramatically depending on the game, and the sponsor, and it usually involves one of the big gaming portals.

3. In game advertising

Not only do you get a commission for adverts displayed in your games, but you also get access to their network of publishers giving your game more exposure. This can be one of the best ways for new developers to get their work seen.

Flash games are a huge draw for traffic online, which is why they are in such demand. You can leverage that traffic by hosting games on your own site, and displaying banner adverts or AdSense and earning a commission from the clicks.

5. Game design contests

A number of big gaming portals run regular game design competitions, some with cash prizes. This can be quite hit or miss, but if your game is good you can earn money this way, and again it's a great way to get exposure.

6. In game currency (micropayments)

Micropayments are now available from several companies, and allow you to accept real money for in-game purchases such as upgrades, new levels, or items. This is a relatively new way to monetise Flash games but already solutions from Mochimedia and HeyZap are becoming popular with developers.
