Click here now • How to make a successful guild, shop and contests Everyday in the chat boards you see about 60% of the messages are an advertisement for either a guild shop or contest. About 15% are links to scams so the can steal your account. Then the last 25% are actually good messages from real people that want help or want to chat. Well now you can learn how to make a successful guild, shop and contests. First of all I'll tell you how you can make a good shop. If you do not have a shop go HERE to open one up, it only costs 250 NP to open one. This is how to make a successful shop. Once you open it up go to your inventory and see what you've got. Anything worth selling? Anything you want to get rid of? Then put it in your shop! Most items can be bought at the MAIN STORES cheaper then the prices in stores. So stock up. Some of the stores I recomend are Food, book, pharmacy, magic, chocolate and bakery. All of these will stock up with cheap items that can selll for up to 7 times as much. Faeries in the magic shop may be hard to find and get, but if you do get one for there prices (1,000 NP) you can sell it in your shop for 7,000+ NPs. Good luck tring to get those. You don't have 1,000 NP? Then how about the chocolate shop? They have candy by the truckload. Each time I go there I can get at leasst 10 items under 20 NP which can easily be sold for up to 30+. That's a 50% profit! The bakery stocks up lots and lots of donuts. These are usually 15-22 NP. These tasty donuts both make god food and good money. Pet's love them. If your pet is to full to eat then put them in your shop for 25-30 NP. Continue doing this until you have lots of money. Out of all profits you make you should put 20% into the bank, 10% into a fund to make your shop bigger and the rest to restock again (or use on games and such). If you follow these simple guide lines for about a week or so you could have a size 50+ shop!! And LOTS AND LOTS of money. -Cybernacho (Steve5 Knight) This section is how to make a successful guild. Please only read this if you are a guild owner or planning to make a guild. Step one: Make a a nice design including images and links. Tell a lot about the guild and what you have to offer. Make banners for you guild members to put in there shop or on there website Step two: Try to think of a unique thing that your guild can have. For example mine offers a lot of stuff including The AOL Chat zone, over 30 chat rooms to choose from. The Ultimate Pizza Party, have lots of free stuff given away including lots of food and drinks. Step three: Advertise. Make it sound convincing, tell them why they should join yours and not some one elses. Step four: All guild should be a part of atleast one web ring, neocircle and a top 50 (100, what ever) site that your members can vote for you. REMEMBER the higher your position on it the more people will want to go there. Step five: Continue advertising and do updates. Step six: Wait for the members to come, fill up council and give as many people raises (higher ranks) and give out free items to good members. -Cybernacho (Steve5 Knight) This last section is how to make a good contest. So you want to have a better contest then all of those other millions of people having them? Here a few good ideas for contests. These help if you are just starting off and if you have had lots of other contests and lots of money. If you just started and don't have much NP make your shop as big as you can and fill it with cheap items (Fuzzles, Lipstick, food etc.) Then go on the message boards and make it sound really convincing. You will get better once you do more trust me. Since you don't have much money price all the items at 100 NP (make sure they aren't worth more then that first) then wait for people to buy them. For a good prize (if you don't have much money) look around the site for codestones, paint brushs or map peices. You can find a lot of rare items aroun the site. Once you find one use it as the prize. Faeries at the magic shop are cheap and make reall nice prizes. Keep a list of all previous winners on your shop. AND NEVER do a contest to see who buys the most stuff. A lot of people don't trust these. If you do have more money I suggest a size 100+ shop and a good prize like a faerie paint brush (unlike poor people that buy a faerie or a paint brush). Don't make the prize to rare unless you have been playing atleast 3 months and have fairly priced tickets. List of things NOT TO DO for a contest: 1. Who ever buys the most wins 2. Continue restocking morre and more tickets 3. Make the contest last to long 4. Tickets should not cost anything more then 1,000 NP List of things that ARE GOOD for a contest 1. Drawings rather then buy the most 2. Only fill your shop one time 3. Make the contest last 1 hour - 2 days 4. Tickets under 1,000 NP 5. Put the prize in your shop at 100,000 - 200000 so no one can buy it (or 99,999 if it isnt worth to much so some one can buy it). 6. Advertise it, no one will know unless you tell them about it. -Cybernacho (Steve5 Knight) I have had: Page Views since 6/11/01 Click for stats since 7/25/01 Editorials: Making a successful guilds, shop and/or contest Stock Market Tip Grundo's Gym Battledome Abilities Turn 50 NP into 5,000+ NP!
