Urgent: Unable to Gain Money Glitch
After playing the game for about 7 hours now, I've come to the point where I've developed a daily profit of 10,000-ish dollars a day. The monthly gain is estimated at 306,000$, as I'm spending 262,000$ a month. However, no matter what I try, I lose about 8 thousand each day, and this has been going on throughout the entire duration of my playthrough. I believe I haven't gained any money so far, and I have no idea on how to fix it. Perhaps I'm messing something up? I bought the game ages ago, but started this playthrough on a new savefile.

Any ideas?

Hi there,

My guess is that you're sticking with Text Ads, right?

While it is possible to make money entirely on Text Ads, you'll have to optimize everything.

Banner Ads and especially Video Ads generate much more revenue per impression.

Hope it helps :-)

Best,

you gain the money from your contracts all at once. the moment you subscribe it.
but it shows you the income monthly.

you have a balance of 100k
subscribe the contract for 300k.
now you have a balance of 400k
you have monthly cost of 262k (divide by 30 for a month) = 8,777777k
the next days you lose every day 8,777777k
until you can resubscribe your contract or take a new one.

if you spent now also your money you will lose money and dont increase it.

best you can do now use the things you have. dont hire new workers. dont by new tables. dont buy new features and so on. just let everything go like it is. increase your existing features get more user get higher contracts and make enough profit to the point point you banked enough money to increase your company again.

Well no. I've been running banner ads for a while now, and slowly working toward video ads. I don't believe this is the issue.

That comment on subscription does make sense, and I'm glad it came up actually. I thought it would go on every day giving you some money. I'll set a best contract on auto-renew and go on from there. If it works, I'll write on here.

Thanks for the help guys!

Thanks for the help again. I was just bamboozled by the honestly unexpected way this game rewards you money for deals. Keep up the good work dev!
hey np many people "die" in the beginning with this ^^

later you can get the subscriebr feature this brings money daily.
also you can set you contracs to daily. so you will also get with auto-renew your income daily.

so now that you understand this game mechanic happy gaming. and feel free to ask more if you need more help.
