[Economic] Way of the Money Maker...

Hello people of eUK, this article has been partly inspired by a conversation i was having with Royal Navy members earlier. Enjoy!



The purpose of this article to help players, young and old, to get themselves on a path to economic success. The following steps are all viable ways to make money, although some will not actually make you money but instead help in making money if that makes sense. So lets begin.

Step 1- Cost minimisation
This will not necessarily make you money but instead mean you don't have to spend money which will allow you to free up some capital(money) that can be invested in future steps.
1.1(under level 28 only)
Sign up for the NHS, found here. This is a brilliant system that eUK should be proud of. What it will basically do for you is give you free food every day which means you don't have to buy as much, if any. I cannot express how useful this to players, and not just in an economic sense. It really should be the first point of contact you make in eUK.
1.2
Join a Military Unit which hands out supplies. There are plenty of them just ask around and go for the best supplier. This again will you don't have to buy weapons/food because you will be given it for free. Again this doesn't make you you money but means that you can save the money you have.

Step 2- Certain Income
2.1
This is a particularly valid point given the current discount that is going on. Upgrade your training grounds, especially the one that doesn't cost to train in. With that at Q4 you will be making 5 gold every 12 days, give or take, from the super soldier medal. Of course you will need 93.5 gold to get to that level but you can apply for training ground loans from the government. Note the word loan, you must pay it back. This is of course the flaw in this method is it costs quite a lot to get there.
2.2
At this point i comes down to the wants of the individual because you can adopt 1 of 2 methods. 1 is weapon raw material production and 2 is food production
2.21
Buying aluminium mines is the best way to invest in WRM production as they are most cost effective. With one of these at base production you will be making a mighty 6.25gbp per day at the average price. Many may mock that but it is 6.25gbp more than you were making before you bought it. With a couple of these you can start making a gradually increasing amount of money.
2.22
As shown in a previous article i did here food factories are profitable even if you have to buy the raw material. The profit here is not as big but it is still profit. This route also has the option of improvement in the form of upgrades that maximize profit for the same amount of energy use.

Step 3- Expansion and investment
This is my last step to earn money without risk because at this point you just repeat this stage until you reach the income you want and you don't have to worry about losing it. Don't blow all your income on weapons and food fighting battles. use it to expand your companies and make more money. You can also buy upgrade and start using the 2nd training ground that costs 0.19 gold to use which will decrease the number of days needed to get super soldier, although it does come with a small cost per day.

Step 4- Risk Ventures
I call these the risk ventures because there is no guarantee you will get a profit from them, although in my experience you generally do. They are also that last steps because doing these methods requires a fairly substantial investment, around couple 1000gbp, for it make anything worth doing.
4.1
Gold fishing. I am no expert with this and have tended to leave to someone else because it confuses me when i think about it. I do however just about understand the basics, after reading several articles about it.
Start with lets say 2000gbp which you sell for 0.005gold. some buys it after a couple of days and you get 10 gold. sell the gold at the market value, so 206gbp per 1 gold at the moment, which will give you 2060gbp back. Its a simple explanation because if i go into detail i will get confused again.
4.2
Buying and selling. This is something i can do and do regularly. look on the market at the prices if weapons, mainly Q6 and Q7, then deduct 10% of their price(this is the tax) then go to somewhere like Poland or USA where tanks are sold cheaper than here and see if you can find tanks worth less than that figure, eg if our tanks are sold at 15gbp you earn 13.5gbp when you sell them, if you can find somewhere you can buy the tanks for less than 13.5 then you are selling them at a profit. This is easier to do but needs more attention because there quite alot of people who do it.
