FarmVille Money Making Strategy

In the last year FarmVille has soared to the top of the most popular online game in the world and along with this the number of people searching for help to make the most money possible has matched the popularity of the game. Earning coins in FarmVille comes down to three specific areas such as which crops to plant, getting the most out of gift giving and keeping an eye on the clock in order to maximize your profits. In this particular article I will cover the three main features that will help you make the most money possible in FarmVille.

Most new players make the mistake of concentrating on crops that have the highest payout when harvest and not looking at the whole picture. An item such as the pumpkin will turn in a great profit but it takes a long time before you are able to harvest this item where on the other hand you have strawberries that take a lot less time to reach maturity and in the end will make you a lot more money in FarmVille. This little strategy is know as earnings per hour where you take the price of the item and divide it by the amount of hours it takes to reach harvest and you will get a number that will make a huge difference in the amount of money that you can make.

Zynga is the maker of FarmVille and Cafe World and they believe that gift giving is a main feature of the game and when used properly will make you money. As you log in to the game each day you receive the daily gift item that you can pass on to your neighbors. Now the main reason why you give out gifts is in the hope that your friends will return the favor which you can then sell or use on your farm. The amount of neighbors that you have in the FarmVille community makes a big difference when it comes to this aspect of the game.

The design of FarmVille is that the clock continuously runs so it is essential that you plan out your scheduling or pay a hefty price. As the clock never stops you need to make sure that when your crops are ready to harvest you need to be logged on into the game or else your crops will quickly spoil costing you a lot of money. The basic strategy in this area of the game is that if you are not sure that you will be able to be back to the game at the exact time your crops reach harvest than it makes more sense not to plant anything at all.

As soon as you are able to purchase buildings in FarmVille making money becomes much more easier. As a new farmer it is important that you keep track of earnings per hour, get the most out of the gift giving feature and keeping a close eye on the clock and pretty soon you will find yourself residing in a million dollar FarmVille villa.
