TIPS AND TRICKS
''' Add many friends, whether you know him/her or not. Benefits of friends are: '''

- Many friends means many sellers, many sellers means many varities of items.

-You get to see what people have for sale before it is advertised in the newspaper, therefore avoiding the rush of people all trying to buy the same item at the same time.

- More neighbours, more chance to find treasure boxes. Which contain coins, 5 diamonds, a nail, a screw, a wood panel, a bolt, a plank, or duct tape. But sometimes you must use 3 diamonds to open it. And also you can check their trees and bushes. You get xp when you touch shaking trees and bushes. They have a sign with an exclamation point on them, so you can't miss them.

Advertising is everything in selling.

When you are stuck trying to sell your item, try advertising it. It will help you to sell your item(s).

DO NOT sell eggs or eggs and bacon, unless you sell them dirt cheap. The market is flooded with "egg people" and "egg and bacon people". Just don't do it, because people generally aren't interested.

Fruit or crops are not an overly desirable item either unless they are cheap.

If you want to make money fast, sell things that are hard to find in the newspaper. These are sugar, syrup and cream. Selling things that take time to make and are complicated are big sellers too, such as pies, cakes and ice cream.

Sell things a little bit under their maximum price - you will get followers if you consistently do this, and your stuff will sell out fast.

Wait to decorate your farm! Things are very expensive in the later levels - build up your farm first and then, when it is easier to make money once your farm is more sophisticated, then you can decorate it.

Plan the decorations on your farm carefully. Each time you buy an item, it will increase in price. So what starts off seeming an inexpensive decoration now will be very expensive once you have a few of them.

Collect building supplies! People constantly need these to upgrade their silos and barns, and some of these items are hard to come by, so when you get them, put them out for sale at full price, and they will almost always be bought right away. A good piece of info to keep in mind is that you can advertise one thing in the newspaper every half hour, and this will be the first item you put out for sale if your waiting period is up. It is a good idea to advertise your best, most desirable item first. If you put out a building material, and advertise this item, then a lot of people will visit your store. You will know which item has successfully been advertised because it will have a little ticket icon on it.

A trick I use is, before I go to bed at night, I plant the most time consuming crops, such as chilli peppers, pumpkin and lavender. Then you have it for the next day and don't have to wait. This is also useful for making the most time consuming feed (right now for me, it's sheep feed).

You get two feed makers, and all your animals need to be fed at different rates. The chickens need to be fed most often, and sheep the least, for example. If you use one silo just for chicken feed, and the other one for the other animals that need to be fed less, then this might help them to be continuously fed.

A good piece of advice is to keep the chickens constantly producing eggs. Then when your neighbours walk up to your farm to purchase items, I find they often buy eggs, and pay quite well for them. This way you never have to sell them in the newspaper (in fact, PLEASE don't), and you have a nice little income generator when your neighbours ask for them.

BOAT ORDERS

You can pay to repair your Boat Dock, and then a boat will come in with orders to fill. If you are attempting to achieve 3, 6 or 12 consecutive boats filled, timing is critical. Once a boat is filled, you'll get a message that says, "Next boat in 4 hours". If you will not have time to work on this boat at that time, you can stay out of your game indefinitely, and the boat will not arrive at your dock until you open your game again. The orders are generally for large quantities, and you may have to buy items from the newspaper to fill them. You can also tag a specific order and ask for help, then another player can fill that order for you. A good place to try and get hard to find items, or just general help filling these orders, is http://forum.supercell.net/forum.php. Also, look for Hay Day on Facebook. There is a group just for trading food, and one just for trading materials. You can connect with people there and sign them up on your GameCenter and they can put specific items out for sale for you if they have them, and vice versa.
