Get Rich Checklist:

• Get a Shop
  First you'll want to get a shop.  If you already have one, good!  Otherwise, it costs 150NP, at first I thought that it was a total rip-off and a waste of money, boy, was I wrong!  My shop is my main (if not only) source of income these days.  You can decorate it however you want, but don't put lots of images and things on it, you don't want it to load too slowly. 
• Dailies
  If you scroll down a bit, on the left hand side there is the heading "Links" and under it a couple links to place in Neopets.  You'll want to go to each of those links and collect your prizes.  If you are just starting out on Neopets, or don't have much to spend, don't do any of the Wheels because they cost money, the rest are free.  
• Play Magic Fingers!
  Sorry, I mean play games... lol, sorry.  Anyway, you need to get some NP before doing the other things.  You got to have love to love... I mean, money to buy stuff...  Anyway, find some games you like and play them three times everyday, and if you don't go buying anything, than you will be able to restock and do quests! 
• Restock at the Main Shops
  If you have a fast computer, this is your claim to fame (or richness, actually).  The best shops to restock at (in my opinion) are the Chocolate Shop and Book Shop, or wherever there are new items.  (If the item is new, that means that there aren't many of them out yet, the less items out, the more they cost.  So, as soon as you get a new item, sell it!  They prices will go down after more appear in Neopia.  Sometimes this is not the case, but I have found that most of the time it is.)
• Snow Faerie Quests
  This is for you more if you have 50k or somewhere around there, somewhere where you could loose about 3k and still be OK.  So, go to the Snow Faerie and do a quest.  Check out the items she asks for and find the combined price.  If they ever add up to more than 5k, I don't do the quest.  If you have less than 100k, than I would set the limit to 3k, but it's up to you.  She could give you a Dark Battle Duck (worth millions), a Grand Lightning beam (worth about 20k), or a Wet Snowball (worth about -5NP).  Take risks if you want, but don't say I didn't warn you. 
• Sell!
  Now that you have some cool items, put them in your shop!  But, before putting in the prices, check out your competition.  Say that you got a White Chocolate Uni from restocking at the Chocolate Shop, so you search for White Chocolate Uni on the Shop Wizard.  Currently, the lowest price is around 200NP (that was just on my first try, you'll have to keep on refreshing to find the lowest).  So, now you have two options.  If you want to sell your item quickly, then price you item from 10 - 100NP lower than the lowest price.  But, if you want to make more of a profit, than price it around an average price (if 5 people are selling it for 200NP, and 5 are selling it for 300NP, than price it at about 250NP).  Sometimes you could price it thousands of NP more and you would still sell it (most likely from a newbie who is on a quest, I remember my first quest... the Fire Jug... aaah, good times... lol). but that's not going to happen often. 
• I'm bored...
  Shops not restocking?  Faerie quest too expensive?  Then try Dice-A-Roo!  It makes money, but not very quickly.  Just start a game (costs 5NP) and keep playing until you get a game over.  NEVER collect your winnings, unless it's a LOT. 
  You can get food on the Green Dice and all dice after that.  They usually sell for about 50 - 100np, so you've made a small profit.  You can get Lottery Tickets from the Yellow Dice (I think) and Silver Dice, and if you're very (very, very, very...) lucky, you might win over 1 MILLION neopoints!  You can also win Bottled Faeries that sell for about 3k, so they make a nice profit.

Strong Pet Checklist:

• Talk to an expert
  Have you heard of someone who is pretty good at battling?  Then why don't you neomail them!  But, remember to be polite! 
  And don't ask me, I'm not an expert at battling at all! 

• Train your pets
  The Academy is good for when you are first starting out, after your pets are over Lvl 10, go to the Training School.  It costs more, but it's quicker and there are a few more benefits. 

• Battle friends
  It's not only fun, but you get experience! 

• Battle Punchbag Bob
  You can test out all of your weapons against him, just don't use one use items (snowballs, muffins, etc)! 

• Snow Faerie Quests
  This is a great way to get cool items and get neopoints.  I've heard of people even getting Dark Battle Ducks and other weapons (I once got a Grand Lightning Beam from her).  But set a limit on how much you are wiling to spend per quest, the most I spend is 5,000NP.  If the combined prices of all the items she asks for is more than 5,000, I don't buy anything.  (Remember, check the Shop Wizard for her quests, and the first price is not always the lowest.  Check a couple of times).  If you don't get a Battle Item, then sell it in your shop to be able to get one. 

• Don't Restock!
  Trust me - you DON'T want to restock in the Battle Magic or Defense Magic Shops, they are WAAAAY overpriced.  So don't even try.  Definitely restock at the Chocolate Shop or other shops, and sell in your shop.  You can try the desert Battle Stall, as there are some good weapons (Hand Painted Scarab) there. 

• To win the Beauty Contest

Note: If you want to win because of your talent as an artist, then some of these tips you might not want to follow, such as "Guilds".  It'll be very hard though.  I wish you luck.  ;)

Neopian Times Articles: Winning Beauty Contest in Style, Beauty or What?, Beauty Contest - Picture or Pet?, Beauty Contest Research Report, The Beautylarity Contest,
Beauty Contest Checklist: 

• Choose an Unpopular Pet
  Do you have a Moehog, Lenny, or Tuskanniny?  Then draw them!  There are very few people who draw those pets, so you have better chances of winning than with a Kougra or Shoyru.  Although you will probably not win the Overall award, you may win the Species award.  Of course, you don't have to do this, but you can if you want to. 
• Wanna see me Draw? ... Wanna see it again?
  Now it is time to draw your picture!  You can choose to use the already made Neopets picture, and just add things to it (which is called Copy and Pasting, which some people are against, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with it), but you will probably have better chances of winning if it is hand drawn/computer drawn by you.
• Speak Out!
  For your speech, don't put "This is my first time!  Plz vote for me!  My mom worked so hard on this picture!" or stuff like that.  You can, but I'd recommend talking about what your pet likes to do.  If possible, draw your pet doing that!  For example, you could say "This is a picture of me reading my favourite book, "Acara Gormball Tips".  I love to read, and I love to play Gormball, so I was so happy when this book finally came out!" 
• Advertise
  You don't have to advertise, but if you are, then remember DON: Don't beg, Only in Beauty Contest Board, and No trading votes. 
  Don't beg for votes - you could become unpopular.  Also, don't bribe people, "I'll send you an item if you vote 4 my pet!!!", it is against the rules. 
  Only in the Beauty Contest Board!  I am not at the chat very frequently, but I see sooo  many posts asking for votes in other boards, that it isn't funny.  It's very annoying.  So only post in the BC board.  Please. 
  No trading votes.  Just read my article about this.  If you don't have time, then I'll just tell you, it's against the rules. 
• Guilds
  If you are in a guild, then post on your message board saying that you are in the Beauty Contest, and you'd appreciate some votes.  Don't tell people they have to vote for you, that's not very nice.  Some people don't like when people do this, so someone could get mad at you.  But you probably will get some votes. 
• Got websites?
  If you have a website (a Neopets one, like this one would be ideal) you should put a link so that people can vote for your pet!  I get about 500 visits a week, and I've gotten about 70 votes in one week.

Guild Checklist:

• Make a Guild
  Well, this is pretty straight forward, and it's quite easy.  To start out, you may not want to have a huge welcome message.  Just put "Under Construction" for now. 
• Microsoft FrontPage
  FrontPage is one of the coolest programs I know of.  It's the program I used to make this webpage, and how I make guild layouts.  You can easily arrange your text color, style, size, etc using FrontPage.  Then there are three tabs at the bottom of the screen saying "Normal", "HTML", and "Preview".  When you're done, click on HTML and select everything on the page. Then copy and paste it into your Guild welcome message.  Ta-da!  Isn't that groovy?  (If you don't have FrontPage, you can use Geocities Page Builder and then publish your web.  Then view your page on the 'net and right click, and click on "View Source".  Then copy and paste all of that onto the Welcome Message")  Sometimes though you may not have enough room, or it says you put in a bad word when you didn't.  If you have any problems, then just send the code to me and I will fix it up for ya, now charge.  :) 
• My Layouts
  Don't feel like making a layout?  Then you can use one of my pre-made ones!  Just click on "Guild Layouts" to the left.  Right now I only have a few, so if there is a specific Neopet type one you think I should make, then post in chat, neomail me, etc and I'll make it (not a custom one just for you, one for everyone to use). 
• Proboards
  The Message Board Neopets gives you can be very confusing, so you can register your own forums for free!  My favourite type is Proboards, very customizable.  There is also Bbboy, and quite a few others.  Search Google for a list of them. 
• Contests
  You'll definitely need contests, or something happening.  You can do things like buying from a donation shop, and each item bought is one ticket.  Then, do a draw at the end of the month and put in the tickets, and the one you pull out is the winner, and they get a prize.  Most guilds have contests like that, you'll want other ones to, like quests, Survivor, etc.  You have to be creative, if you aren't creative, a guild may not be a good idea for you.

Links to remember:
Neopian Times Articles: The Complete Guide to Paintbrushes, Paintbrushes - Which Ones Are Really Worth it?, The Way To Painting, Who Are You Calling Plain?, The Art of Paint Brushing, The Art of Paint Brushing: Part Two
Painting Checklist:

• Get Rich!
  You're going to need to have some neopoints to get your pet painted, unless you are a very close friend to Jacko (he gives out paintbrushes to people as a random event).  So you should read the Get Rich goal page. 
• Consider Your Options
  There are a few ways you could go with paint your pets:
  - Buy a paint brush
  - Win a paint brush
  - Get a lab map
  Buying a paint brush is probably your best bet.  You get the exact one you want and it only takes a few seconds.
  To win won, or find one, or have Jacko give you one you'll need to be lucky.  So don't count on it. 
  Getting a lab map has some risks, and it's quite expensive.  It can change your pet's color, species, gender, and stats.  If you want to risk any of those changing, then you could try it.  Also, your pet cannot be painted some of the newer colors from the lab.  If you want your pet to be Robot, the Lab Map is the only way to do it. 
  Once you've chosen, go out and get your paint brush/lab map/whatever!
• Oh, Davy... you can paint!
  Now you've gotten your paint brush, take your pet to the Rainbow Pool. Select your pet and the paint brush and POOF!  Your pet will be painted!  Yay!

• TO MAKE NEOPETS A BETTER PLACE

Links to remember: Shop Wizard (to find scammers), Help Chat Board (to answer questions about Neopets), Chat Boards (to find scammers), Bug and Abuse Reports (to report scammers)
Neopian Times Articles:
Help Checklist:

• Find Scammers
  Here's a good way to find scammers - search for an expensive (but buyable) item in the Shop Wizard, but put the maximum price at about 800NP. Then keep refreshing, if you see anyone who has that item in their shop for that price than click on their shop. If it takes you to a fake log-in page, then go back and report their shop by clicking on the link near the top of the page.  But don't go spamming the chat boards saying "so-and-so is a scammer!"
  If it ISN'T a scam, you can do one of two things:
  1. Buy the item and then sell it for higher in your shop.
  2. Buy the item, then neomail the person who owns the shop and tell them that they can make more money by pricing their items according to the Shop Wizard, then send the item back. If they are a newbie, they'll probably appreicate you helping quite a bit. If they get mad though, tell them you were just trying to help. If they continute to bug you, just ignore them.
• Find Scammers 2
  Go to the Chat Boards and look for title like "Win a Baby P/B!!!!!! " or "Free NP!!!!!!1!!" then if they have a link there, follow it (BE VERY CAREFUL THOUGH. It may be a cookiegrabber. If it is, they can take your password to Neopets, and anything else that needs a password on your computer. Before visiting any pages you aren't sure of, empty your cookies. If you don't know how to, then I would just not do this step). It is most likely a link to someone's page with a fake log-in page. If it is, take a screenshot of the chat board where they posted a link and send it to Neopets. If they say to neomail them for a secret, then you can neomail them and ask them. Then just fool around with them, if they say "I need to know your pass" then say "What's a pass?!?!?" or something stupid. But NEVER give them your password! Of course, you can just report them too, but I find it more fun this way. ;)
• Help Out!
  Go to the help boards and look for the people asking for help. If you know the answer to the question, then neomail them (or post if they ask not to neomail them, I find neomailing a better way of communicating though).
