Here are a few ways to make neopoints:
1. Your Shop. Each use, or neopian, is allowed to make a shop and sell items for neopoints to other users. The motto for shops and many other thing is "Buy low, sell high!" When you buy something, sell it for more than you bought it for, but don't forget to check its price first!
2. Trades. Another way to sell items is at the Trading Post. Here, users can trade their items for not only neopoints, but items.
3. Auctions. 'Auctions' explains it all. Basically, you set a starting price (in neopoints) and minimum increment. People bid (or they don't) and whoever wins gets the item, and you get the neopoints!
4. Games. There are over a thousand games to choose from and you are allowed to send 3 scores per game each day.
So how do you make a lot of points? Like, millions!
First of all, know that most people fail to earn NPs because they start from a wrong set of assumptions. They assume that:
-Only certain people, who know all the "secrets," can earn a lot of NPs
-They aren't one of these special people and therefore can "never" earn NPs
-There are only a certain number of NPs in Neopia and the "rich" people have them all
None of that is true. There is no 'secret' to earning millions of neopoints. Unless something rare and extraordinary happens to you, you will not make millions at once. That is the trouble. Lots of people give up right away when they see that after a few days, they only have X amount of neopoints which is far away from their goal. Don't give up!
First, make a plan. How many points do you make a day?
If you make 2,740 points a day, you make 82,200 in one thirty-day month. And in one year, you make 1,000,000 points (a million neopoints!)
Now lets say you make 5,000 points a day. That means that in a month with thirty days in it, you make 150,000 points, and in a year, 1,825,000 points! Wow!
Or how about 10,000 a day? In a month, you'll find yourself with 300,000, and in a year, 3,650,000 points. Okay, now that's a lot.
It all adds up.
Stocks
When you start investing points in the Neopian Stock Market, although at first it may seem that you aren't making anything, you have just taken making neopoints to a whole new level.
Buy 1,000 shares each day at 15 NPs on the Stock Market. Then wait to see if your stocks rise (hurray) or fall (boo).
(In case anyone is looking for the Stock Market, it is now housed under the "Board Games" section of the Games Room. Strange but true.)
You can buy stocks when their current price is 15 NPs per share or higher. Buy 1,000 shares of one stock at 15 NPs per share. When your stocks reach a higher price than what you paid, sell them off. You'll get back your own initial investment, plus the difference that the stock has risen. Don't sell them when their current price is less than what you paid, else you'll lose NPs.
You do not have to sell your stocks. Buying and selling stocks is a slow but steady way to earn NPs. The NPs you invest just sit there and (hopefully) increase in value while you patiently wait.
Does investing really work?
Let's put it this way. Let's say that on Sunday I buy one thousand shares for 15 points each. That is 15,000 points. After a few weeks, the price rises to 30. Even though it may take a while, the price always does rise. I sell my one thousand shares for 30 points each. What do you know? I suddenly have 30,000 points.
Downside? Sometimes a certain "company" goes bankrupt and you lose all you invested in that company only, but that is rare.
Making millions of neopoints isn't an all-of-a-sudden thing. It takes time, patience, and a little planning. Good luck becoming a neomillionaire!
