Marketing Advice:
1.1 Update your prices daily - To stay competitive.
1.2 Cheapest goes first - This is for beginners, otherwise mark up a bit higher if you're willing to wait. The cheaper items will go first, but yours will go next, possibly.
2.1 Monopolize an item - If you notice you are the only one selling your item, sell at a reasonably high price.
2.2 Buy out the competition - If you notice there being only one or two of an item being sold at fairly low prices for its rarity, then buy those up and sell all of those at a higher price.
3.1 Stocks - buy low, sell high. Easy? Yes. Begin by keeping track of the highs and lows of each stock. Next purchase stock at the lowest values. After that, for short term, sell an hour later, typically, when your stock rises one or two cP. Sometimes a stock will rise 1cP right after a 3,500 stock purchase.
3.2 Long term stocks - Keep buying 3,500 lower limit stocks. Only sell at the highest limit.
4.1 Auctioning - You can always auction off your items, but it doesn't seem very popular.
4.2 Blind auctions - Place a bid when the bargain meter is in the red. The more full (left to right) the bar is, the rarer the item. Don't expect much though.
5.1 Advertise - Use the Ad Agency

Gaming Advice:
Random: It's free.
PointSweeper: 100cP. It can be frustrating, but don't go for the jackpot, go for the 1,000gp. Say, 10 games you pay 1,000cP and can make 10,000cP, that's 9,000cP. Aim to make at least 5,000cP profit total.
Billoinaire: Free. Not only do you get 20,000cP max per round, but this round's prize can earn you a lot of money.
Trivia: Free. Great prizes. If you're the first you get two. Both this and Billionaire are easy unless they use images, then it's a challenge.

Concentration: Go for the easy difficulty, 80cP per game. This can be done quickly and you can earn 1,000cP~ per turn.
Counterfeit: Free. The easiest way to help identify the item is to have a list of items to help you out. The obvious solution is go to Bubbles's items gallery.
Scrambled: 50cP. Best way is to get familiar with all the items. Read through Bubbles's items gallery once and look at each image. The more you play the easier it will become. The capital letters are the beginning letter of each word. You can earn 12,000cP easy from this.
Pairs: Submit only if under time: 200 or 15 seconds. Get about 1,000cP.
Slingo: Submit only if over 20,000 points. Difficulty doesn't matter, I suggest hard because you can make the most points off of it, but the face-eaters more than likely won't let you.

Collect: Only collect at the very beginning of each contest.
Booked: If you have the money, why not? Create a check list from Bubbles's items gallery and go for it. Also, note the cheapest books. You want to aim for top five in both most unique books and total books scores. You are awarded daily. I do this mostly for my pet. Total awards MIGHT balance out your expenses and you MIGHT make a profit.

Shae: Definitely do. Don't purchase the items unless the total cost of the items requested is under 5,000cP. This must all be done quickly, since you only have 2 or 3 minutes. This is easily done with some hotkeying and/or modular manipulation. The best way to profit is to make sure total expenses are under 3,000, since you are always awarded a coin and her coins generally give 4,000cP.


Can: I don't even bother. It's a waste of time.
Fruit: Same here, but aim for at least 1,000 points before submitting.
Stars: Argh.

Treasure Hunt & Farmer: Only if you can afford getting first place in King of the Hill if it is the chosen game. You will profit only if you get first place, but you must play every day to the limit.

Collections: Gumball, Squishie, and Mushroom (Free mushrooms daily Explore --> Ashe Grove --> Mushroom Patch). You get prizes as your collection gets larger. These are long term games.

Very helpful guide. I'm going to move it to Shopping and Economics and top it.

Thanks for taking the time to write it, Azure.

^_^ Thank you

That is a very helpful guide

This is an amazing guide, I actually printed this out and keep it as a checklist

Oh, and a tip on Store Stalking. Stores restock anytime between 8-25 minutes or something, generally around 15 minutes. Create a quickbar link for that shop and one for the home page. When the time his ##:00, click the quickbar link of the shop you're stalking.

Thanks, Azure. That's quite helpful, and I didn't know it ^_^

Well... You might have to click a few times in a row, but don't click too fast because sometimes or you'll overshoot it. Also, the stores don't always restock exactly on :00, sometimes :01 or :02 it seems...

This is very very very very helpful. Thanks for all the wonderful tips!

Good advice. The trivia and billionaire are not always that easy though

Zeph, you are totally right! Especially these right now. Is it bad that when I'm on here and bored I play the games like Falling Stars and Fruit Catch. I always do horrible, but hey, it keeps me occupied and gets a little money

Thanks, this is very helpful.

I agree with your your info and was doing most of it before i read it. But one thing that I don't agree with you is the can challenge. It's very easy to rack up a lot of points if you get the wall and ceiling bonuses.

this rocks :3

i agree that the billionaire and trivia arent always very easy. Excpet for when it was: whats your username?
