Make Lots of Money on Stardoll

Stardoll is an online fashion-themed MMORPG in which users can dress up and accessorize a range of dolls, socialize with other players and display their creations. The in-game currency allows you to purchase new dolls and outfits. While you can use real-world cash to supply your Stardoll addiction, there are thankfully lots of ways you can earn some dough for your dolls in the game.

Steps

  1. Make an account. New users for Stardoll are automatically given 500 Starcoins and 20 Stardollars as a start-up bonus. Making an account is the obvious first step if you're looking to make it big in Stardoll.[1]
  2. Send and accept friend requests. Stardoll encourages users to network with friends in the game by offering a Starcoin bonus for each new in-game friendship made. Seeing as other people will likely be hounding for game cash as well, it's a mutually beneficial move and you won't often find users that will shirk away from the free money.[2]
    • Leave a message in their guestbook while you're at it! This will help attract more Starcoins into your piggy bank.
  3. Log in every day. If you're serious about making some cash in Stardoll, its important to have patience, consistency and dedication. Logging in every day will earn you 40 Starcoins. If you're subscribed as a Superstar, you can receive the equivalent of 100 Stardollars for a month of consistently logging in!
    • Changing your doll's clothes and editing the suite every day will earn you extra points on a daily basis. [1]
    • Don't forget about the Mystery Gift each day. It may not be much, but it's easy to get.
  4. Become a superstar. Being a superstar is arguably the most effective way to make money in Stardoll; subscribing to superstardom shows you're serious about the game. Although it requires a start-up fee to get going, you'll find the money (particularly the Stardollars) starts rolling in faster.
    • You'll get 200 Stardollars by default for each month you're subscribed to Stardoll.
  5. Design and sell articles of clothing.[2] Once you become a superstar, you have the option of making and selling your clothes to other members of the site. You can get a display set up in the bazaar for other people to peruse and choose from your creative wardrobe. If you muster a great reputation for your good fashion sense, you'll find customers flocking to you in droves.
    • Try not to get too steep with your prices. In most market situations, it is better to sell larger amounts for more cheaply rather than relying on a few expensive sales.
  6. Join in contests. Stardoll regularly hosts contests you can join in, offering prizes with in-game monetary value. Contests will usually put your fashion skills up against other players; if you end up winning, you'll be all the richer. [1]
    • Contests and other far-flung schemes shouldn't be relied upon as a primary source of income. Rather, they should be a fun way to see if your creative talents are up to snuff.
  7. Participate in Stardoll offers. Even if you're not subscribed as a superstar, you can still get Stardollars via participating in associated surveys and offers. Stardoll's partners may be anything from a shopper's census to a sale offer. Keep in mind, however, that these tend to be very dull and detract from the overall enjoyment of the game. If you're looking to make a quick in-game buck they'll do in a pinch, but it's not recommended that you rely on them for your income.

Tips

  • If you're looking for an easy answer to moneymaking in Stardoll, it's that you should be looking to be as active as possible. Play the games. Talk to people. Rate their suites and post your own. Become a superstar. Before you know it, the game cash will start pouring in.
  • Getting rich means keeping an eye out for opportunity wherever it may show up. Exploit every opportunity you find, no matter how small, and it will start piling up quick.

Warnings

  • Approaching Stardoll purely with the intent of making money may be missing the point. Above all, you should be having fun and being creative, not worrying about any of the number-crunching.
