Tips on Making MP from Your Shop (As inspired by real world business)

I dreamed one day of starting a business, so I read a lot of business books growing up. I don't have the confidence or tech experience to do it immediately after college, but I figure I'd get there eventually.

In the meanwhile, I guess I'll just give you people some tips here.

1. You can either make money from having many cheap items at once, or fewer more expensive items at once. It's a focus a lot of businesses do, on which one to emphasize, and you can only seem to do both well if you have enough skill or resources, if not both.

2. You can make a lot of MP selling prize items in games. Personally, I keep collecting a lot of prize items first, got a 200,000+ MP worth plushie and I kept it, as well as a 300,000+ glowing egg, and I also kept it. Maybe when I finished collecting enough, I'd sell more of what I get from those games, but oh well.

3. On the games, like in real life, try to emphasize your strengths or what you are good at to make money off it. Instead of focusing too much on your weaknesses, instead focus on getting better at the games you are best at and enjoy. Perhaps when you feel satisfied with that, you can then work to expand your skill with your weaknesses.

4. Sell photos of pets. You only need a few MP to take two photos a day, or more if you're on a higher level. It helps to make use of the free operations daily, so your pet can transform into something for a rarer picture, if you don't have an enchanted plushie or potion you want to make use of. If you don't want to transform all your pets regularly, you can choose specific pets you want to use for taking photos, especially since there's only a limited amount of photos you can get within a time limit. As in real business, make use of free or cheap items around, then figure out something to do with it.

5. Sell items you get from randomized games, which are labeled as the "chance games" on this site, if you want to. At the beginning, you might want to collect everything, but as you go on, you'll get more of the items you already have, on which you might want to sell. If you're not a super collector in wanting to collect every single thing, you might simply dislike certain items you get and you can choose to sell that to someone who does like it.

6. Make use of another currencies in Marapets. You can sell items in other currency shops for a higher amount of MP, and for some, it may be easier to get other currencies than it is for a large amount of MP, so make use of that. Oddly enough, I see less people taking advantage of this as I see a lot of items no one is actually selling anything around, so currently, there's not much competition on this. Even the easier currencies to get, like recycling or the memory shop, may help in this.

7. Make use of the paid dailies, and see what you can find for a profit. You can get plushies from the plushie machine for just 250 MP about every 15 minutes for example, and you can sell it for a higher price. It seems to be around 750 MP to 7,800 MP for the most common ones, while others are more 7,801 to 15,200 MP from my experience. Really rare ones are even higher, but a lot may just want to collect that instead. Your choice. Also paying 3000 MP to play the dukka coin dash may be risky, but you can sell coins for MP as well. Sometimes even the least valuable prize is higher, like 250 fake dukka coins or 600 fake dukka coins, if you're lucky, which sell for quite more MP. Though the value for a single (not fake) dukka coin is a lot higher from say, just 3+ dukka coins from what I can see. It's risky, yes, but real business takes risks like that. If your MP is too low to afford the risk, like when you have too little savings in real life, taking too large risks isn't really a good idea.

8. You can also sell things like the 2500 MP scratchcards you get, for a very high amount of MP, actually. Though this way, you don't actually get to have a chance at winning something, but most of the time, you don't actually, or if you do, it's a minor prize. Though people want to gamble. I say the items you get with other randomized things inside such as from the Christmas tree is not really that expensive, but higher in MP simply because people like to bet their chances in something, I guess.

9. Sell the items you receive in quests. Note that some quests are easier than others, some are more medium and a few are very difficult. I won't tell you exactly which is which, but the easiest have the least risk of losing MP though they don't have prizes as expensive as the more difficult ones.

10. You may simply want to check back to your attic, and see if you'd like to sell something. It's okay to keep a lot of stuff, but some people just tend to want to keep everything, without doing anything with them. It's a bit like real life, and it's okay to attach yourself to particularly sentimental things, but in things that aren't really, really, that important, you might just be keeping them for a "just in case" type of thing, as it is with real life. Ask yourself : Do you really need some of that stuff? And why are you holding on to it?

Well, that's all I can think of for now. Good luck.
