Quick ways to make money

[sora878]

Well yeah, I need quick ways to make money now that I've gotten my Ice Club. I'm going for H4k, and I've only got 100k right now. I can't restock for jack either.

[Q77]

for slow connection, stock market is probably something you should look at. clotho's pet page has a decent guide for starters. Otherwise, games is the only way, and gaming for np is slow

What of the Employment Agency?

[chicken]

I don't think the Employment Agency has been useful for years.

Basic Jobs at the employment agency go for ones over 5k - make 1-5k each time (profit)
ONLY IF YOU HAVE FAST Internet - unlike me

I'm getting better at restocking, but I still suck major arse. Hopefully, it'll cut down the long wait till I finally get the H4K.

Restocking is grossly overrated. Yes a top restocker can earn more than anyone can by gaming. However, a downright lousy gamer with the sense to game efficiently can make roughly 50,000 neopoints per hour on a slow computer. The very best at restocking seem to only average about 4-5 times that currently. (yes restockers can land a BGC, LEV or Tear and make double digit millions in an hour, but those average out to far less with the days spent waiting for such items to restock)

The key to making neopoints in games is simply to measure their points per time ratio. Play games with a stopwatch and record the time it takes you to complete the game or to make 1,000 np at it. If after playing a game for a week or so, you can't find a way to average at least 300 neopoints per minute out of a game, then that game is not even worth playing. At the moment I have more games in the 500+ np per minute category than I have time to play in the typical day. And if I spend a dedicated hour doing nothing but playing them I average out around 50k. You should always try out the new sponsor games, as TNT tends to have generous point ratios on those in an attempt to keep their sponsors happy. But other games which can have pretty fast earnings (if you know the trick) are Zurroball, Whack a Kass, Meerca Chase, Dubloon Disaster, Ultimate Bullseye and Hannah and the Pirate Caves(although I haven't got that trick to work myself yet)

Also, it's worth noting that a number of the sponsor games tend to be trivia/matching games with cute animations, loading screens or other delays between rounds. Multitask those in different windows to minimize the delays and earn faster.

If you are actually good at games, you should already know how to use World Challenges to your advantage. But you can also try to use the "fame" generated by having a top score to attract more people to your shop and sell more items at a markup. If you have a top score, people will visit your userlookup, use that to advertise your shop and what it sells. If you want to go even further, write a guide to whatever game you are good at, and include an ad for your own shop and the type of items you carry in it. That's like getting a free neoboard ad.

You should also see clotho's guide to Stocks (my current research is showing that she actually underrates their earning potential) and sirhatter's guide to Food Club.

Please enlighten me I have a hard time making 20k in one hour playing games.

check out garmfay's game guide - play ALL games until you find the ones your good at/make lots of NP on :K

6 games - guaranteed 18k and probably in less than 30 minutes - Berry Lucky Charms Triple Track, Bouncy Supreme, Lucky Charms: charmed life, Majority Rules, Monsters house, Trix.  As Rabid_s points out sponsor games usually give the best ratio of points to time but there are no trophies to be won.  Once you reach equivalent of 1,000 points, stop and send score.
Sponsor games change all the time but generally the learning curve is short.
You have to decide your time and game enjoyment versus points.   Play for the points and then play a few games you like or whatever else you like to do.
