My Guide To Becoming A Millionaire

Hello everyone and welcome to the guide! It is a little long, but it's full of useful tips to help you become a millionaire! Some managed to turn the 500np they started out with into a million in two months! This guide will tell you how.

 Use the tips and hints that my page gives, and you can do it too. Here's the step by step process to go through.

The guide is split into three sections:

Beginning - Beginner (very original)

Middle - Paraprofessional

End - Entrepreneur

Pretty simple? Well, becoming a millionaire pretty much is.  Yes, it will require a lot of effort on your part, but it will be totally worth it in the end.

BEGINNING - BEGINNER

First off, you must have patience. This is integral in becoming a millionaire. The money doesn't fall into your lap, and like your parents always tell/told you, money doesn't grow on trees.  Saving money is the key to success, so every time you make 100np, DEPOSIT IT!  It will help with interest, too.

What to do first is to play games. Lots of games. Make 1500np from Cliffhanger everyday. I played the hardest level in Cliffhanger and could solve the puzzles quickly. But, this game might not be best for you. Find out which one is.

Be sure to make at least 600np from Meerca Chase a day, and then use it to buy a scratch card. If you have a shop at this point, sell it in there.

Again, be patient, and your work will pay off. When you have 5000 to 10,000 you're ready to move on.

And once you get 15,000np, you start to gain interest! Always upgrade your account as soon as you can! Right now, people make over 2000np a day from their interest! Make sure that your bank account is always upgraded as much as it can be!!!

MIDDLE - PARAPROFESSIONAL

In this part in your budding millionaire career, you should have a shop. If not, create one!

Right now, for some odd reason, NeoPets took the discount cards away!! Hopefully they will be back in the near future!

Here's where Neopians made most of their money: Buy faeries and novas and things at the magic shop. I can do this because I have a very fast connection. If you don't, try the chocolate shop.

Here's some tips to be quick:

Refresh Times - know them! If you don't know the exact minute and second of refresh time per hour, you will not be able to get the profitable items!

Profitable Items - know them too! Memorize them so that when they pop up, you don't have to think to yourself if it's a profitable item.

Turn off Pictures - On the menu bar of internet explorer, go to Tools, Internet Options, Advanced, and uncheck the box for show pictures that's in the multimedia category. This also makes it important that you know the names of the profitable items, and not what they look like.

F5 - I use this button on my keyboard to refresh the shop so that I can see when new items pop up. That way, my mouse will be closer to an item when I want to click on it.

Have a Back-Up Plan - If the magic or chocolate shop doesn't sell anything profitable, which they often don't, have another window open to another shop. Make it the snow food shop or slushy shop in Winter World. Maybe even Grundo's in the Space Station, or Koi's Foods in Maraqua. But, you must know what's profitable there too! It takes some skill and memorization, but you can do it! Also, understand the window that pops up when you click on an item that you want to buy. I place my cursor over the number, click, quickly put in my bid, I DON'T HAGGLE!, and hit enter on the number pad. If it says that you got the item, USE THE X BOX IN THE UPPER RIGHT HAND CORNER to close the window. Nothing else! This allows you to check the shop for even more items without going to Your Items and coming back to the shop.

When I was waiting for the refresh times, play games that will keep your money supply up. Start out the night with taking out 5000 np. I deposited everything else, but I always made sure I had 5000 np or less on hand. When playing games, not only should you maintain a 5000 np balance on hand, but it would often get to 10,000 or higher. Deposit it and kept on going.

END - ENTREPRENEUR

If you think the flow of money pouring in got slow here, think again. This is where you become an entrepreneur. And as you always hear stock portfolio managers tell you the key to making good money in the stock market, I will tell you too. The key is DIVERSITY!

Diversify what you make profits on. Keep making money selling chocolate or faeries. But also invest money in the stock market. Buy shares of stock that sell at 4 np. Sell when they're at 6. If you bought 1000 shares, which you should've, that's an instant 2000 profit. Do this every night, as you can only buy 1000 shares per day.

Now, you can only buy stocks that are selling for 15np or more. So do the same thing, but with 15np stocks.

Check the shop wizard between refreshes and find some good deals. I made a bit of money doing this.

Also, every day you should go to the laboratory that you will find when you finish the lab map. Your pet can gain levels and max points and everything! It's a great way to get a great pet! If the machine turns your pet into a different species, don't worry! Once you are a millionaire, you will have enough money to buy a potion to change it back!

One easy way to get omelets is to visit the Giant Omelet every day!! Do this, and you can either stock it in your shop, or feed it to your pet!

At this point in your career, I'd stop playing games almost entirely. I only play a few games, but these are the ones I play:

Switch-a-roo - Play the stupidly fast level and you win double of what you put in. Do whatever you have to to make sure that you get it right. I actually put my finger on the screen and follow the coconut. You can play this game 5 times a day. That's instant money.

Cliffhanger - As I said before, Cliffhanger is a great way to make money. Just look at my page for the answers, and WIN! Unfortunately, NeoPets limited your winnings to 1500 a day, but that still adds up to a lot!

Meerca Chase - This game is really good for people who are good at Snake. You can only get np's twice a day, but you can win a magical poogle plushy whenever you get 900 pts.

Poogle Solitaire - Get 750 np per day. Your pets intelligence can also be raised, and you could win a poogle toy.

Lenny Trivia - You can get tons of neopoints by answering all the questions!

JubJub Blackjack - This is a great game for you if you know when to take chances and when not to. Just keep doubling your money

Cheat - This games is time consuming, but you do get neopoints and battlecards every time you win. Some millionaires play this game at least once a week.

Pteri Attack - You can easily win neopoints, and might even win a pteri plushy!!!

Grundo's Gym - This game is an absolute goldmine!!! Although not many people play it because it's "too hard", it makes you tons of money once you get lifetimes memberships!!

NOTE: Grundo's Gym has been taken away by NeoPets since.

Some final tips:

Avoid loss situations. The easiest loss situation I can think of, because it happened to me, is a quest. The Kitchen in Maraqua, the Snow Faerie on Terror Mountain, and Brain Tree and Esophagor in Spooky Woods are tricky. If you can complete the quests by spending around 2500 np or less, then I suggest do them. If not, which is usually the case for me, then sell anything that you've bought so far at a slight profit. If you do buy items for the quest, MAKE SURE YOU USE THE SHOP WIZARD to find the lowest priced items. It makes it easier to resell your items at a profit.

Don't get frustrated if you can't get items. The best thing about this game is that I never get upset at it. This keeps me coming back and allows me to spend time just buying profitable items from shops without getting bored or upset.

Avoid spending any money except to buy more profitable items. Guess how many times some people have bought food to feed their pets? Once. I'll say that again, once. Visit the Healing Springs in Faerie Land as often as you can, at least every 30 minutes, and she'll heal and feed ALL of my pets. Play Dice-A-Roo if you want to to get food. Really, it's the only reason I would play that game.

Right now, some people currently have over 10 million neopoints!!! So, get working, and you could make that much!!!

That's all for the guide, but follow it and you'll be Neopia's next millionaire!
