 Can You Make A Million In A Month?
by swimmingstar01
--------
You know all those "30k A Day Guides!", "Make A Million In A Month!", "50k For Fifty Days" guides that litter petpages and offsite fansites? I decided to try them. One, all, I wanted to see if the premise was flawed, or whether it actually was possible to make a million neopoints in one month. As the last days of the month drew close, I decided to plan. I sent all of my neopoints over to a side account, where it sat, lonely, as I did not dare log in, for fear of a negative Random Event. I perused various dailies sites and NP making guides, and found one of each that worked for me. I have never been able to restock, I'm just not fast enough, so my earnings have always been a slow slog upwards. Then, I set myself some rules. I need rules, I'm an impulsive sort of spender, and I got to work! I hope you enjoy reading my diary of a month of hard work! Rules
- Start from nothing. (Already done!)
- I will note all my earnings for 30 days
- If I want to buy something, it has to be from that day's earnings only, no withdrawing from the bank
- The experiment will last the full 30 days
- I will do my best and not slack at this.
My aim is to make one million neopoints in thirty days. To do this, I will need to bank at least 33,334 neopoints a day. Because I like round numbers, I am aiming to bank at least 35k a day. I like to play the stock market, so that means I need to earn at least 50k a day, to make sure I can still buy my daily 15k of stocks. 50k a day. Alright then! Let's see what happens! Day 1:
Earned: 109,596 Total Earned So Far: 109,596 Okay, this is a good start! Did all the dailies that I usually ignore, looked through my SDB and decided to sell some stuff, and levelled up in Habitarium. Daily Interest: 28 NP Day 2:
Earned: 307,528 Total Earned So Far: 417,128 This is going really well! Got lucky in the Battledome today, three nerkmids which netted me 165k in my shop. Feeling energised! I can do this! I am going to make a million in a month! Go me! New Daily Interest: 109 NP Day 3:
Earned: 34,532 Total Earned So Far: 451,656 Okay, not so good today. But at least I still managed to buy my daily stocks and bank, alright, slightly under, my aim. There's a positive. New Daily Interest: 118 NP Day 4:
Earned: 206,482 Total Earned So Far: 658,138 There we go, that's more like it! Sold some stocks and levelled up in Habi again, so that helped bump up the games and dailies. New Daily Interest: 181 NP Day 5:

Earned: 322,439 Total Earned So Far: 1,235,632 Used a Features Game Ticket and a Games Fortune Cookie to double (and quadruple one game) my gaming earnings today, as a day-off meant I could spend more time playing.

Earned: 77,559 Total Earned So Far: 1,313,191 Alright, while I may not have earned as much as the last few days, I still got my daily stocks, and made more than double the daily aim. There's no need to feel so negative New Daily Interest: 378 NP Day 8:

Earned: 33,921 Total Earned So Far: 2,091,298 Couldn't spend as long online today, real life is insisting I check it with it. But nearly made the aim, and made more than the minimum necessary, so I guess it's alright. New Daily Interest: 631 NP Day 13:

Earned: 161,610 Total Earned So Far: 4,240,954 *lies on her back panting* New Daily Interest: 1,279 NP So. I've made 4.2mil in 30 days. I did that by doing every single daily, playing my usual games, carefully selling some old items in my SDB, selling all the prizes I got from the Battledome and just working hard. For the past month, I have worked at earning neopoints, rather than just faffing around. I focused my energy on what I knew I could do, and avoided things that cost neopoints and time. I have never earned this much in such a short period of time, and clearly, if I can, you can to! Find guides that work for you, and keep track of what you've banked each day, seeing those numbers go up really do wonders for the motivation. Best of luck, and I'll see you in the Games Room!
