Day 1,598, 07:16 Published in United Kingdom United Kingdom by HebronGazelle

We've all been there once... You really want to get that amazing Q5 weapons factory to destroy your enemies. You grab your calculator to work out how long it takes to get the 350 gold, but stare at the screen in disbelief. The figure is unreadable, how are you ever going to get that much gold. But there may be some things that you did not know, the secrets to getting extra money out of everything.


How Are You Going To Get There?
Before you start some of the tactics in this article, think to yourself, do you want to money as quickly as possible or will you take your time. Some of the tactics here will be able to be used by everyone however if you want go give up your time fighting, it will be possible to get money a lot quicker. Please also keep in mind that you do not have to follow everything in this article.
Earning Extra Through Achievements
This is quite simple, and you will most likely know this. Every time you earn an achievement in eRepublik you will get an extra 5 gold. Achievements do not come around everyday and some may take planning and organisation to earn. Some achievements are not even worth goin for as they will cost more then 5 gold to get. Below are the recommenede achievements for you to go for;

Hard Worker - You will work everyday for 30 days, it is not that hard. It may take a while to get but the cost of getting it is very low.
Super Soldier - If you are going to get this achievement for gold alone then it may take 40-50 days to earn the achievement. You can always gain 5 free strength a day for training but the rest will cost gold, which makes spending gold to get gold a ridiculous idea. If you spend gold training everyday then you will find that you have lost money.
Congress Member & Country President - This achievement is not for everybody, and in some countries you are expected to give the 5 gold away however this achivement is possible. If you spend time everyday getting to know your countries citizens, maybe even helping them out, you will find this achievement easier. This is mainly because you need the backing of citizens.
Society Builder - We will talk more about it later, but basically you invite your friends to the game and get them to level up.

Other achievements are either so hard to get or cost a lot to get, which makes them not worth trying for. Although, you can try yourself if you have a plan of your own.
Saving Money When Buying
You may not know this tactic, and you will be surprised to find our how simple and easy it is. Infact, my first ever article in this newspaper was published about saving money when buying. You can view the article here.
Basically, when you are buying food(which is probably the main item you would use this technique for) you should compare the cost of each quality of food so that you are buying you health at the lowest possible cost. Here is an example;
Q1 Food costing 0.60CC
Q2 Food costing 1.18CC
Q3 Food costing 1.90CC
Q4 Food costing 2.34CC
Q5 Food costing 3.01CC
Q6 Food costing 5.00CC

Which one would you go for? Maybe Q1 as it was the only one you looked at. Or Q5 to save a lot of storage space.

Q1 Food costing 0.60CC would be 0.3000CC per health
Q2 Food costing 1.18CC would be 0.2950CC per health
Q3 Food costing 1.90CC would be 0.3166CC per health
Q4 Food costing 2.34CC would be 0.2925CC per health
Q5 Food costing 3.01CC would be 0.3010CC per health
Q6 Food costing 5.00CC would be 0.4166CC per health

So which quality of food would you choose now? Q1? Q5? No, I would have chosen Q4 in this scenario as when buying in bulk(which many people do when buying food) you get the best deal. You can apply this to weapons aswell however it does get a little more confusing.
Get A Job
Whilst I write this article I see that you can get a job it the eUnited Kingdom for 202GBP, that is actually quite good compared what it used to be at. So why don't you go and get a job now, before someone else takes it? But lets stop and think, there are currently 37 jobs in eChina which are paying better money then that, the highest being 270.02GBP, which is easily better. So if there are so many jobs in eChina which have better pay then the jobs in the eUnited Kingdom, why doesn't everyone go there to get a job? That's an easy question, it's because nobody knows about it. So go onto the job market and apply for a job today.

Actually, if you want your payment in weapons then why not join a Miliary Unit, such as the ESO Legion, which pays up to 10 Q5 weapons for working in their companies. If you time your selling right, you might get over 330GBP for selling the weapons.
Other Techniques
Well, here is where I stop giving you techniques for now, I may publish more articles though which will help you out even more so subscribe to keep up to date. But what can you do now? You could test out some of your own ideas on how to save money or earn even more. If it works out successfully then why not tell me so I can publish it in an article, but I will give full credit to you, it's just nice to help out the eWorld.
