So you want to go from just a regular old Roblox player to a bona fide Roblox creator? It's not easy to become a successful creator, but you should be able to make decent progress by learning a few of our handy tips. If you want to go from earning a few Robux here and there to earning real money, you've come to the right place.
Becoming a Roblox creator basically means that you want to be able to create something in the game that other people can spend money on. Depending on the popularity of your game or your clothes, this can allow you to win real money. Getting to this point is incredibly difficult, but it's certainly not impossible. Even if you don't end up making money from your Roblox creations, there are plenty of useful skills you should pick up along your creative journey.
You may have already checked out some of our creative guides, including the Roblox Shirt Template and Roblox Scripts. We highly recommend checking out these guides, as they'll give you a rough idea of what to expect as a Roblox creator.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW TO BE A ROBLOX CREATOR:
Start
First, you need to establish what you want to create. It is important to study successful Roblox products in order to understand why people are drawn to them. If your goal is only to make money, you can avoid creating your own clothing line. There are a few successful Roblox fashion designers, but these types of designers are extremely rare.
While you can craft Robux by selling clothes, it's very easy to have your creations stolen by bots in the Avatar Shop. There's not much you can do to combat this, and the competitive nature of Roblox clothing designers means you'll likely have to sell your designs for the minimum amount of five Robux. Again, it's not impossible to make money in this business, but it won't make as much money as creating your own game.
The most effective way to earn regular money in Roblox is to design your own game. Unfortunately, it's also the most difficult method due to the time it takes to learn how to make an awesome game. If you have a big hit on your hands, you can sell Game Passes at whatever price you see fit. We've highlighted ways for you to do just that in our free Roblox Robux guide.

Create your own game
Part of what makes Roblox so special is the ability to create your own custom games without spending a dime. Our Roblox games list highlights some of the best games available on the platform right now. Learning the key elements of what makes a good game is essential to understanding how people make money with Roblox.
Games like Roblox Piggy, the Peppa Pig-inspired horror game, and reality simulator Welcome to Bloxburg, perfectly encapsulate your freedom to create any type of game. Try playing these types of games with the state mindset of a game developer. Think about what makes these games so addictive in the first place, and why someone might want to spend money on a Game Pass for it.
