Basics of Profit

In Friends For Sale ("FFS"), there are three ways to make money:

* your $2000 allowance every four hours
* when somebody buys one of your pets
* when somebody buys you

The first is the easiest and most direct way to make money. All you have to do is load a page from the FFS app every four hours. The money is not automatic -- you have to log in to get it. If you wait eight hours, then you get just one allowance, not two. The easiest thing to do is bookmark your FFS dashboard or your FFS profile, and hit it when you think about it. Even better, put a bookmark in your phone's web browser so you can get your allowance even when you're not in front of the computer.

A pet's value goes up by 12% every time they are purchased. When you buy a pet, you have to pay this increased value plus a 2.25% sales tax. The previous owner is paid the pet's original value plus 6%. When you account for the sales tax you paid and the bump in value you're paid, it comes out to just under a 4% gain on the money invested into a pet.

When somebody buys you as a pet, then you will earn about 5.25% of the purchase price as profit. It goes right into your pocket. There aren't any tricks that I know about to get yourself bought. Ask your friends to buy you. Get yourself a kickass profile picture to make others want to own you (I'll discuss "good pics" at some point).

In short, making money is about your allowance and owning pets that will be bought away from you.
