Question for experienced players
-
For players who have been around for a while: How long did it take before you had a strong enough income to start doing giveaways, etc.?ID 58328

Hi!
I’ve been playing for over a year now. (My account is older, I did not play until much later!) I’m at the point where I feel comfortable money wise to do giveaways etc if I wanted to. How quickly you can grow your show barns (and thus daily bonus) depends a lot on how much work you put in. I ignored daily bonus for a while, and started building over the last few months. I’m around 350k daily right now, and it goes up quickly at this point. I highly recommend picking up 12-13+ PT horses for showing, a lot of times geldings and spayed mares are in auction for cheap and you can grab a bunch of them. This PT score tends to do best in my barns, and people let them go super often if they don’t make it into the breeding program, so they’re abundant! Also grab any horses you see with decent points. I also pick up older show horses from auction for cheap, to fill the spots until my younger horses age up and start earning more after a few seasons.
Doing these and focusing, you can bring up your daily bonus to a nice amount in a few months, and have more hbs to work with. I have show building on my back burner now, while I work on some of my lines. I’ll probably end up around 500-600k at least by the end of this year if I stay on track. Mine goes up several thousand a week, how many exactly I don’t know (ew math haha)Continuing my reign as the most annoying player on the forums and hgg’s favorite butch lesbian cowboy

I wouldn't consider myself experienced, but for me it was about 4 months. I got a boost early on by buying pastures and such for others in exchange for HBs. If I hadn't done that I expect it'd take closer to a year to save up enough IVs to buy enough barns for the number of show horses required for consistent income.
Disclaimer: I also took a 3 month hiatus that derailed that income temporarily, so me saying I was ready at 4 months is only conditionally true. My financial state would be fragile now at 7 months if I wasn't applying consistent effort, if that makes sense. I'm currently at about 70,000 hbs per day, or approx 1,960,000 hbs per month.

I joined in Sept 2023 and did my first contest giveaway in Feb. There are awesome players on here that were speaking up to donate prizes.
I did my second contest in Apil and the 3rd is scheduled for Canada Day.
It's so much fun to run things for such a nice group of people~!
I also got a couple boosts by buying stuff for people for real money.Thanked by 1CarlyManciu -
I don't have the funds to be able to buy things for others in our community, but I was welcomed so warmly back in 2018 I set a giving back goal every month when my daily hit about 40k. That monthly amount has gone up quite a bit, but I will host a game if I haven't hit it.
My daily has only been over 300k like twice, but I'm entertained several hours a week.45120Thanked by 1CarlyManciu -
Ive been here for a few actual years. I had about a year away and lost all of my stock so have essentially restarted my herd over the last 6 months or so.
Before my hiatus I was earning about 150k a day and I ran a few giveaways. The better games I run, the more other players were willing to donate to them.
Now I have just hit that 300k a day mark (although Ive had to empty my barns a bit so I'm sure that will go back down after auctions). Right now, I dont have the time to come up with a good game for a giveaway, but I would be happy to donate prizes :)ID - 47350 (Most Licences) Breeding heavy.
