Day 2,129, 11:29 Published in United Kingdom United Kingdom by eUK Home Office


Looking to become a financial mastermind? You’re going to need some money to start your dreams, but earning that that money is not always easy. The Ministry of Education brings you five simple tips and tricks to help you earn Gold and GBP.


1. Live Life The Free Way

You will spend a lot of GBP a day. Even doing the daily 25 kills will force you to buy weapons and food, unless you are getting those supplies for free…


The NHS form, giving free food to many eUK citizens.

Everyone in eRepublik can claim some freebies one way or another, and if you are a new player it becomes so much easier. The NHS is free to all eUK citizens under level 30, and will give you a nice 500 health a day. Click here to sign up. Many military units offer free weapons if you work in their factories and fight for them, why not join one today? Reading newspapers can also give you a treat, generous players hold competitions and giveaways in articles and you could get food or weapons for just commenting on the articles.

Keep a lookout for new giveaways so you can live in eRepublik without paying a penny. All the money you save through this method can be used in future projects.


2. Invest In The Monetary Market

This is a great way of gambling your money that could payout loads of GBP, however due to the gold restrictions per day it is better to do this method through an organisation.

Here are some rough exchange rates from the monetary market before the competition:
1 Gold = 220 GBP
1 GBP = 0.005 Gold
If you put up an offer of selling 220 GBP at 0.005 Gold, you will receive 1.1 Gold. If you put up an offer of 1.1 Gold at 220 GBP, you will receive 242 GBP. Through this method, a profit of 22 GBP has been made. This can be done on a larger scale to generate a greater profit through the monetary market. There are similar methods that can be done so do some exploring and find out the method for you. Remember though, this is similar to gambling so don't put too much money into this method in case you don't get a good return.

Monetary market investing could only take 5 minutes to show a profit so can be done by anyone with a bit of money to start with.


3. Calculate Profits

If you don’t like maths, you shouldn’t be earning lots of money. Doing maths will save you money.


Why do they cost so much?

Open up a spreadsheet or get your calculator out, it’s time to work out some pay-back time and profits. Food raw material is selling at 0.03 GBP each at the moment so a Grain Farm producing 35 raw material a day will give you 1.05 GBP before tax. Grain Farms cost 1500 GBP so if taxes did not exist, the Grain Farm would pay back for itself in a mere 1429 days. How cool is that! Maybe not now you have realised you won't be buying a Grain Farm any time soon. You may be thinking this maths won’t help you bring in the profit but using maths like this can tell you what to buy, how much to pay employees, how much to sell your products for and more.

Make sure you do some calculations before spending a lot of money or doing something big with your companies, you might foresee a profit or loss.


4. -44% Offers 4 U 2 Save

You might have seen then on the homepage time and time again, but they are great money savers.

Upgrading your companies is very costly! Any method on cutting down these costs is great as it cuts down the payback time of the companies and allows you to buy more. You might see these -44% company upgrade offers once a month now so wait until then to upgrade your companies. Be patient because the admins have many of these offers. It is almost two company upgrades for the price of one if you think about it.

All the money you save in one place can be spent in another to increase profits.


5. Train For Gold

Some people think training grounds are only good for becoming a top fighter, but they are wrong…


Something for profit and showing off…

The first training ground is free, and gives you 5 strength per day. For every 250 strength gained you will get a super soldier medal which gives 5 gold. So using the free training ground will take 50 days to get 5 gold. Upgrade your training grounds to quality 4 and it will be even quicker, only 12 or 13 days to a super soldier medal. That's a good 5 gold every 2 weeks, which is good profits. You will still get profits if your second training ground is quality 4 as well.

So if you ever retire from your successful life as a businessman, you can always join the army and fight with the strongest warriors.


Now you know even more about becoming rich. Put these into practice and watch the money come in. When you get more money you can experiment with eRepublik and you might find the next way to earn money. But while you’re not an eMillionaire, stick with the well-proven methods of making money.
