Earning Coins on Yoville

If your a first timer on Yoville you will find many things to do & see. At first you start by creating your character & picking clothes & then finally entering the world of Yoville. Many have alot of questions when first getting started though. What is there to do on Yoville? How do I get more coins? Where do I go to get new clothes? The list goes on & on & what I want to do is explain things real simple to you.

First up lets get into the money sides of things. When you start most of the time you are given 5 Yo Cash & 500 coins to get started. Yo Cash & coins are the currency on Yoville as you would of most likely suspected. Some items on Yoville you will need Yocash to pay with & most other items you will nedd coins. You can purchase many things in the game such as, furniture for your apartment, clothing, food, wall & floor coverings, houses & much much more. You may even take a chance at the slot machine at the casino to win more coins for yourself. You will also notice at the top of the page there is a heading which says "Show Map". When you click on this it will show you all of Yoville. There will be a factory where you go to work & earn more coins. Every 6 hours you can log in & get more coins for your character. You dont have to log in every 6 hours though unless you end up becoming addicted like so many others. But you wont be able to collect more coins until 6 hours has passed since you were previously there. But this is only one way to get coins. Lets move on to the next way.

Another way to get coins is by visiting other people on your friends list. I think myspace & facebook may differ in this department as I have heard conflicting stories. Since I use facebook I can only tell you how it is on there. If you have a friend on your facebook profile & they play Yoville they can be added to your buddy list on the game. When you log on there is what we Yoville addicts call a "coin run". A coin run is where you visit all the people on your list, visit them in there apartment & what will happen is it will give you some options of what you want to do with their character. You can dance, kiss, fight, gift, joke or send message. We have found that sending a message gives you the most coins out of the six. So what we Yoville addicts do is send a message to our friend with the words "coin run". You send the message & you earn anywhere between 15 - 20 coins. By doing this Yoville will allow you to make a maximum of 400 coins. Once you have reached 400 you will no longer be able to continue making coins through a "coin run".

You will also find that alot of fellow Yoville characters will asked to be "maxed". They may also write max 4 max or m4m. What this means is that you click on their character & a list of options will come up. One of the options will be "play a game". What you do is start a game of Tic Tac Toe or Rock Paper Scissors. You deliberately lose the game & help them earn 10 coins each time they win. Majority of the time other people will help do the same for you as well & if not there is always someone who will. Through playing the games you can win a maximum of 200 coins before it will notify you that you are maxed for the day & then will need to wait 24 hours before being able to earn more coins via playing games.

You also have the option in the game of selling items. This can be a bit daunting for some as it is like a whole other world when it comes to selling & buying. But lets stick with the basics for now. If you were to purchase an item & then find you no longer want it you may click on the headin "Inventory" find the item, click on it & sell it earning you coins. Some items are free items & will only be removed from your inventory earning you zero coins from it. But you may also trade items with other players which is another option to earning more coins. Of course you will both need to agree on a price before going through with the transaction. As a general rule if you are buying through a trade do not put any coins upfront until you see the item in the box first. You will know what I mean when you start trading. If they do not place the item in the box then just wait until they do. If they ask you to put coins in first, politely refuse & tell them you want to see the item in the box before you enter the amount in coins. If your a seller make sure you place the item in the box first so they can see what they are buying, then wait for them to place the coins in. This is just a common courtesy as even in real life you dont buy something unless you see it is right in front of you.

You can also earn coins by going fishing & moto racing. Each time you win you collect 10 coins. This doesnt sound like much but it all adds up in the end. You also get the opportunity to fish & race against others who are on your buddy list. Of course not at the same time unfortunately, but is still good for a bit of fun.

These are just some of the ways you can earn coins when getting started on Yoville & I hope it has been easy to understand for you. I will keep ya posted on more stuff you can do on this popular online game. Stay tuned.
