One Powerful Farmville Strategy!

The first Farmville strategy I want to share with you is one that a lot of people seem to overlook when they are first starting out. It involves utilizing a minimum amount of work, but yielding the maximum benefits from the little work you perform for an extended period of time, until you can "move on up" as some would say, and make a lot more money by utilizing even less effort than this Farmville strategy originally requires. So what is this strategy? Quite simple: strawberries.

No, I'm not being cryptic, I'm actually being pretty plain. You see, when people first start in Farmville they are tempted to do a ton of virtual labor putting down expensive plants that require long growth times. Sure, the very first few times you plant something you may choose strawberries, but as time progresses you're more likely to lean towards planting Soybeans or Artichokes, or Squash because you see that you will get 2 XP for every one of them you harvest. A great Farmville strategy on the outside, but if you dig deeper, think of how much time you have to wait to get these points, as opposed to the amount of time you wait to get half the amount of XP from strawberries? You could plant and harvest, even assuming you can only drop in every 6 hours in a day (real life comes first, after all), strawberries 3 times in a day. Meaning you'd earn 3 XP, and a few coins, faster than you would be able to net the profit from those fancy veggies!

Farmville Secrets has an even more indepth strategy, and an interesting twist to the standard Farmville hints you see above, but all I'm at liberty to say in this little post is that the guide delivers, if you want to check it out.

So with that out of the way, you're probably wondering exactly how you can use this Farmville hint to your advantage when playing? Well, first of all, make sure you clear the way for as many strawberries (or, if you've leveled up enough, blueberries) as possible, and make sure you have enough time to pop in at least every 6 hours so you don't lose the freshness of your crops and can still harvest them. Also, be sure you have enough cash to plant all the way around your farm.

From there, it's pretty self explanatory; just plant to your hearts content (read: all over your farm) and you will soon have tons of virtual Farmville cash to start getting animals and fancy upgrades (Farmville Secrets covers some great ways to choose your animals for the most efficiency while you're still grabbing coins, by the way). Good luck, young (or older) Farmer and look forward to more Farmville hints and tips.
