How I can earn money?


Sure there are several ways on how to earn money.
Here we will show you a common one:

At the beginning you should raise your regular income. Go to Management → Personnel → Hire/Fire personnel, and hire the following persons:

3x Protection Team A
3x Protection Team D
Regular income: $126 (Playmoney)

1x Pimp
5x Class A prostitute
Regular income: $110 (Playmoney)

45x Sidewalk hustlers
Regular income: $135 (Playmoney)

Less the running expenses you will have a income of $371 every 3 hours. You have used $1.640 of your starting balance.

Now you buy 1 Class B truck (Management → Fleet → expand the fleet) and 1 henchman (Management → Personnel → Hire/Fire personnel). Afterwards go to Business → Smuggling and choose to buy Booze (out from canada or mexico, take the one which has a shorter miles by land). It is advisable to buy booze at a price (buy price) of under $10, and after the return of the convoy to sell it at a price (sell price) of over $16 (these guidlines are for the beginning to get faster playmoney).

Now that your convoy is on the way, you have to extend your warehouse (Management → Warehouse), so that the booze can be unloaded from the truck (it takes 3 hours for the extension). At the beginning you should only extend warehouse that your convoys are able to unload. This will keep your running expenses low.

Now under Business → Special revenues, you can earn some playmoney with these little tasks. The success of each task will be choosen by a random generator, thus its possible that you have a task finished at the first time, but you need more than 1 one time to finish another task.

Upon arrival of your trucks, sell now your booze (Management → Warehouse), and send the trucks again with a new load (Business → Smuggling). With the money you have earned from that convoy you can now buy another Class B truck with a henchman and start another convoy.

! - At the beginning it is advisable to not sent the trucks at once, so you will not have to extend your warehouse capacity always.

Wit the rest of your money you can start to buy some buildings for your district. It is advisable to start with the brothel (Business → Prostitution), as these have the highest regular income per every 3 hours. For each brothel you need a pimp.

By this you extend your district bit by bit, and extend your fleet. Once you have enough money, you should start to build a small runway as well as a small train station and later on a big runway and train station.


Good luck !
