Part I: How to Earn Money

Earning cc is one of the most important things for players to do. CC stands for Common Currency, or Country Currency, depending on how you want to view it. For a Canadian, your cc is also considered CAD, but there is no exchange rate and it is usable throughout the world. You can use cc to create companies, purchase products from the market, buy gold, buy tokens, endorse articles, and hire workers for your companies, among other less common uses. These less common uses are donating to your country, or if you are a Military Unit commander, cc is used to set combat orders in battles. You can also spend cc on the Power Spin. So how does one earn this money?

Basic

The most basic method of earning money is to find a job from the job market. You can work at this job once a day. Currently that will earn you about 2,000 cc per day, minus taxes which are normally 1% throughout the world. This is the most stable way to earn money. If you have houses active, you earn 1 overtime ticket for every hour it is active. You can work overtime at your job (if your employer allows it) and earn your wage a second time for 24 overtime tickets. At the current wage rate and housing prices, this is actually a profitable thing to do, as you would spend ~9,000 cc on a Q1 house, and over the 7 days it is active, you could earn 14,000 cc, or 5,000 cc per week more than without the house. Houses also give you extra energy and faster energy recovery, as a bonus.

While you don’t earn cc for doing this, training in your training grounds each day has the potential to earn you a steady stream of gold. While not huge, it can be helpful. It can be turned into cc by selling the gold on the monetary market. Upgrading your free training grounds to Quality 4 is one of the smartest investments any player can make in the game.

Specialization

Economy
Another way to attempt to earn money is to produce products yourself in your companies and sell those products on the market. This does require some initial investment of funds, and most companies are not profitable. Even the ones that are profitable, they take a long time to break even, let alone start delivering returns on your investments. Companies will be discussed at length in future articles.

Outside of companies, you can also enter into stock trading in the economy. I mean literally trading stock. Buy low, Sell High kind of mindset. This of course carries an aspect of risk, and does take some money to start up at a reasonable scale. If you think the price of Q7 weapons, or Q5 air weapons, or food, or houses, etc. are low and the price is going to increase, you can purchase a bunch of these goods at one price, and then sell them at a higher price in an attempt to earn a profit. Likewise, the same is true for gold. Do you think gold is selling at a price that is lower than it will be in the coming days? Then buy up some gold (there is a limit of 10 per day, unless you have a Tycoon Pack) and then sell it at a higher price than you bought it for. Tokens are also something you can do this with. You are limited on the number of tokens you can purchase based on your ground and air rank. You also need to be aware that whatever you attempt to sell your tokens at, you will only receive 95%, due to the game placing a 5% tax on all token sales.

Politics
If you fancy entering politics, you can run for congress or even country president. Those only pay 5 gold a month, so it isn’t very lucrative. What is lucrative is if you enter congress and can convince them to create a program that pays out the country funds, of which you could be a part of. What else is possible is if you are elected country president, you can gain access to the country organization and potentially steal all of the money out of the treasury. This is a quick way to potentially make millions of cc, but no one will ever trust you again, and most will hate you for it. Stealing from the treasury is not a recommended way of making money, but it is a method and therefore must be included here.

Military
Fighting in the ground or air for your country will earn you points towards your true patriot medal. Check out all the medals on your profile. Most of them pay 1,000 cc for each medal earned, so be sure to attempt and complete those when it is cost effective and convenient. The True Patriot medal will pay you 1,000 cc for every 100,000,000 damage you do for your country, in this case, for Canada. On top of this, whenever you win a medal, you will earn gold which you can turn into cc by selling on the gold market. Winning a campaign hero will earn you 5 gold. Winning a Division 1 battle hero will earn you 2 gold. Winning a Division 2 battle hero will earn you 3 gold. Winning a Division 3 battle hero will earn you 4 gold. Winning a Division 4 battle hero will earn you 5 gold. Winning a Sky Hero will earn you 10 gold.

If your strength is high enough, and you have a high protector rank for your country, you have the possibility of making a ton of money just from fighting. Exalted Druid, for example, has over 300,000 strength and is a Protector of Canada Level 50, the highest level. Without a damage booster, he is able to do 100,000,000 damage for Canada using 700 energy. That will use 7 Q7 weapons. At a price of 66 cc per weapon, his cost is just 462 cc for every 990 cc he earns. (True Patriot is subject to the work tax, in this case 1😵. This is a profit of 528 cc per 100,000,000 damage he does. Considering that with a full bar of energy ED can do 2 billion damage for Canada, he easily makes a profit of 10,560 cc. And he can have a full bar of energy at least twice a day. Combined over many days, he can earn quite a bit of money on a monthly basis.

Some battles have Combat Orders posted, which pay you an amount of money based on the rate set by the Commander of the Military Unit that set the order, and how much damage you do. If you are looking for some quick money, some of these orders can be lucrative.

That should be good. Let’s keep going.

Black Market

One of the most effective ways to earn money on erepublik is to spend your own real-life money. Spending your money to buy tokens and then sell them on the token market is a safe way to turn your real-life cash into in-game currency. Currently tokens are selling for over 8,000 cc per token. Each token is equivalent to 0.1 Euros. So buying a Token Pack S for 9.9 Euros could earn you 800,000 cc.

If you don’t want to give up the 5% tax, you can also sell packs directly to players. They will pay you cc, and you will go to their profile and gift them the pack they requested. You can earn 750k-850k easily per 9.9 Euro pack, and a 14.9 Euro pack can be sold for as much as 1.1-1.2 million cc. But be careful of scammers. Some people will have you buy them the pack and then never send you the money. And if you are buying packs from people on the black market, some people will have you send the money and then never buy you the pack. Be sure to only buy or sell packs from trusted players, or use a trusted 3rd party. If the risk is too great, you can always revert back to the token market.

Other black market deals could be the selling of cc directly for a paypal transaction. While this is not very common, there are some players who purchase cc directly from other players in exchange for real-life cash, without fiddling around with buying packs to and from each other. Again, be aware of potential scammers.

The Black Market is one of the quickest ways to earn yourself money, but it does require real-life cash and a little bit of trust for it to work well.

ClopoyaurTV

One final way for you to earn money is to watch ClopoyaurTV on twitch. Clopoyaur streams every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday starting at 11:00 erep time. You can use some of his stream currency, the clop, to purchase erepublik prizes, such as Token Pack XS or S, Power Pack, or 100,000 cc, among other non-erepublik prizes. You can earn clops by earning clocks, Clopo$$$, pyramids, and knowledge on stream and converting them to clops. At the end of each month, everything except clops are reset, so make sure you are converting everything you’ve earned before it disappears.

You get 1 clock for every 5 minutes you are watching the stream. You can convert 150 clocks into 1 clop. 150 clocks is the equivalent of watching 750 minutes, or 12.5 hours. If you watch Clopo from the minute he goes live until he goes offline every time he streams, you should earn enough clocks to convert into 3 clops at least, and if you are lucky, you might get a 4th every month.

You also get 1 Clopo$$$ for every 3 minutes you are on the stream, and a bonus 30 Clopo$$$ if you are on the stream in the first 15 minutes. You can also earn or lose Clopo$$$ by betting throughout the stream. Depending on how lucky your bets are, you can likely earn 1 or 2 Clops per month from these. You can convert 500 Clopo$$$ to 1 clop.

You get 1 pyramid every time the pyramid reaches the top and you are on the stream. You can convert 3 pyramids to 1 clop. There is a pyramid every regular day he streams (Mon, Wed, Fri). You will likely earn 2 clops per month for sure, on average 3 clops, and if you are really lucky you could earn 4 clops a month through pyramids.

You earn knowledge by answering trivia questions and getting high placement in the ClopoQuest, which happens every regular stream. 30 knowledge converts into 1 clop. You can earn a lot of Clops each month through knowledge, but it can be variable based on the ClopoQuest.

You can use your Clops to buy Packs from the shop. 19 or 20 clops for a Power Pack, 21 clops for a Token Pack s, 11 clops for a Token Pack XS, and 5 clops for 100,000 cc. So if you are just looking for direct money, if you have his stream open and muted in another tab while you work or play a different game, you can likely earn 200k-300k cc per month. Even more if you play the ClopoQuest.
