As far as gold-earning goes... Other than games and posting there's not anything 'built-into' Menewsha to give you gold...

However, there are Charities that will help you get items you want (puados would be very difficult for them to get you, but Winter's Flight or just about any event item that's not from Valentine's, Easter or St. Patrick's '07 events is doable)....

Once your account is old enough (though I didn't check your join date), you can look into the Giving Back Auctions and bid in there... And of course there's the Quester's Raffle in the Quest forums that will let you pretty much win a rare item for free. (That's how I got my King's Crown and Female Welcome Set.) And even if you don't win, you get your gold back... You just need a Quest thread and to be active in the Quest forum to qualify. (And be a certain age old.)

Let's see... Selling is, of course, a great way to make large amounts of money. Whether it's buying low and selling high with gold, or purchasing CIs with real money and selling them to buyers on the Exchange, you'll make money if you keep a good stock of rare items. (The only way possible to 'make' money off of commons is to get the commons for free, after all.)

Contests are a good way to make money/get items, but you have to keep an eye out for the ones you're eligible for and so forth. There's a new "Contests" sub-forum in "Community Discussion", and people have page-contests in virtually any forum.

Events are probably the easiest ways to make money... If it doesn't pay off during the event, it'll certainly pay off later when you've collected extra event sets to sell at some other point when they've accumulated in enough in value to compel you to sell. :)

And then there are services.... Making MAC avatars for people, or banners, or telling fortunes or whatever. There's a small niche market there. The biggest 'service' is, of course, the art services. Pixels and so forth.

Yeah, our art forums move a little slower than some other sites, but I don't think that'll hold too much longer. We're getting a steady flow of new talent and those artists who stick around and stay active will have about as much business as they like. And as 'bigger' artists flow into the site, their fans are following their favorite artists here, and they'll also purchase from other artists. Most of the problem with the art forum being slow is that the artists give up too easily. XD;

Sorry for the rambling. XD; I hope this is useful at all. :)

No worries, I have a habit of rambling myself. It sounds like I'll be making most of my money here as I have on gaia long term investing and an art shop ^.^
No need to check my join date I've only been here for a month or so
<--- noob :)
Hence why I must buy the event items missed before they are far out of my grasp thanks to inflation. It's not all bad at lest I'm here for some pretty early events still!
Halloween is getting close *glee*

I haven't a problem with pure :) though it does depend on how much you would like to offer.

I'm looking four about 400 an item... the price guide doesn't have a price listed for them yet so .. I know it's a bit high but I can only afford to donate so much

Well I really can't do three sets, that's all I bought and I'm not going to give up the set I bought for myself :) I am still hesitant on 4 altogether I wanted to keep at lest one for a long term investment ;)

I would be willing to sell you 2 sets for 1.6k but I think shosho is also trying to buy them. I'll pm her and let her know that if she doesn't close now I that I will be selling them to you. Is that okay with you?

Lol I think a supplier on a regular basis might be just too damned tempting. I'd be buying sets all the time...and blowing off my quest. :XD

Although...I could just make offers in sets....

ooh, what are you still questing for, kitami? :O i just recently got a supplier XD; before, i used to just find some sellers in the exchange XD; so the supplier thing is kind of like a new thing for me haha. i'm also not really questing for anything in particular anymore, other than the rest of the commons i still have in my buying list and probably future items XD; other than that, i've got everything i want already :]

Okay I will set up a waiting list with both of you on it! though I will not hold you to buying when next paycheck comes around:) This does seem like a good way for me to gain an inventory quickly. I do plan on donating every month So I'll just be sure to hit you guys up BEFORE I donate next time around!
Okay I'm sleepy. I will be back tomorrow afternoon to check on things and add my waiting list lol
*I KNEW I should have reserved a few posts :insane:
