Wow! Can it be true? Can you actually earn neopoints without playing your games on a daily basis? Such a thing might be unheard of to some of you. Some of you might already be familiar with the ways of earning neopoints without games. Well, if you are among those that do not know how to earn neopoints without spending hours daily playing games, then this is the article for you!
-CONTESTS- One way to earn neopoints without playing games is to enter contests. Neopets has many contests that you can enter in attempts to earn both neopoints and items. Here are a few of those contests and what you can potentially earn: Caption Competition // You can earn 5,000 - 10,000 NPs and a rare item. Story Telling Competition // You can earn 2,000 NPs and a rare item. Beauty Contest // You can earn 2,500 NPs - 30,000 NPs + a rare item. Neopets Poems // You can earn 1,000 NPs and a rare item. Art Gallery // You can earn 10,000 NPs and a rare item. Mystery Picture Competition // You can earn 500 - 5,000 + 1 or 2 rare items. Gallery Spotlight // You can earn 10,000 NPs For this article, I chose to enter the Beauty Contest. Those that visited this page before I put up this article will remember that I had a picture of my baby scorchio up. I also requested that you kindly voted for my pet. Thanks to everyone's help, my pet received 3,000 + votes! I just want to thank you for voting for my pet. I do appreciate it. Now, onto what I personally won.
I received 30,000 neopoints + a rare item that I sold for 500,000 neopoints! That means entering one contest that lasted for one week I won 530,000 neopets overall! That's not bad for drawing a quick picture and entering it into the contest. Now, the key to winning in the beauty contest is advertising. Well, advertising plus a nice picture are the things that can help you win. If you have some talent creating pictures of your neopets, give it a go and see what you might win! After the contest has started, just ask people to vote for you if they like your picture. You can ask your friends through AIM, neomail (don't spam!), or in a guild (if you are a member of one). The more people you ask, the better chance you have at winning! As for me, I asked kind people to vote for me.
-RESTOCKING- Another way that you can earn neopoints is by "restocking." This takes some time, effort, and quick fingers. Now, what is restocking? Restocking is purchasing things from Official Neopet Shops and reselling them through your own personal shops. Many people choose to restock at the Magic Shop or the Toy Shop as many of those items will sell for more than the original price.
Example, I purchased a "Fire Mote" for 485 neopoints in the Magic Shop, I could turn around and sell it for 900 neopoints in my shop! I just made 415 neopoints in profit. I also purchased a rather cheap "White Chocolate Nimmo" for 175 neopoints. I turned around and sold that for 395 neopoints. I made a 220 neopoit profit there. These are cheap items. It would take a lot of buying and selling to make a decent profit with these. Some people take to buying only rare items. They have become quite good at spotting cheap rare items while restocking. They turn around and sell those items for 100,000+ neopoints! If you practice and learn where items restock and are quick, you can grab up those items and sell them for very hefty profits.
-SHOP WIZ RESTOCKING- Some people don't restock that well, so they take to restocking via the Shop Wizard. You can do this by picking out a general item name such as "FAERIE" and refresh until you see something priced at a ridiculously low price. Sometimes people "misprice" items. This may not seem that "kind" of a thing to do as it is taking advantage of another person's mistake. However, people do use this strategy to earn neopoints.
One of the items most searched for on the "Wiz" is codestones. If you decide to refresh for an item like this, be very quick. There are always many other people refreshing for this same item. If they see a codestone priced for 100 neopoints, you can be sure that if you aren't quick enough, someone else will grab it within a matter of a few seconds. The trick to Wiz Restocking is picking something that probably doesn't get searched for that often. I knew a person that once Wiz Restocked a Faerie Doll for only 2,000 neopoints. That doll was valued well over 2,000,000 neopoints!
I know this guide is more for n0obs to neopets, so I hope it helped you guys out.
Good Luck Everyone!
