Tips For Making Money

It can be a bit tricky to earn money in Styling Star as there aren't too many methods that will earn money fast. Fast money making methods from the previous game Fashion Forward  were removed in the new game such as rent money from the Caprice Chalet and Designer Lounge commission requests. However there are still some useful methods you can use in Styling Star to earn money.

The best trick to earn money is the utilise the messenger system in the phone menu and invite Chic image customers to your boutique. These types of customers will have large budgets such as $10,000 or $30,000 and will spend the largest amount of money at the boutique out of all the styles/images. The picture below shows how I made $32,155 in one day by only serving three chic customers.

Here are the steps you can follow to make quick and easy cash in Styling Star:

Step 1

Stock up on items from Enid Chen and ARIANNA. Ensure you purchase the most expensive items from the brands as you will make a large profit back from selling them. Sales are a excellent time to stock up on items and make sure to use the restock app from the phone menu. The ideal items you should stock up on include:

• Diamond Watch
• Elegant Boston Bag
• Stylish Shopper Bag
• Pattern Drawstring Bag
• Crystal Collar Necklace
• Jewelled Fringe Necklace
• Jewelled Choker
• Jewelled Chandelier Earrings
• Thigh High Boots
• Quilted Knee Boots
• Organdie Ribbon Dress
• Faux-Fur Robe
• Leopard Print Faux Fur Coat

Step 2
Open the messaging app and invite Chic customers to come to the boutique for a new outfit. You can invite three customers per day and you must have a decent amount of hearts with them to invite them to the boutique. You can check if a customer likes the chic image by checking their details for their favourite image. Here are examples of customers you can invite that love the chic image:

• Alexis
• Angelique
• April
• Carmen
• Cerise
• Gillian Grace
• Heather
• Jamie-Lee
• Kiki Summers
• Lily
• Lorelei
• Lorina
• Martine
• Matilda
• Mikiko
• Nadia
• Nicolette
• Petra
• Portia
• Sybil
• Tammy
• Vicky

Step 3

Head over to the boutique at the time you stated for the customer to visit. Talk to them and they will ask for an outfit that you think suits them. When the selection screen appears, you will notice their budget is quite large. Open the search menu and select the following criteria: Enid Chen, ARIANNA, Chic, $300+ Price. Now select an outfit for them from items that belong to those search categories. Follow these handy tips when creating an outfit:

• Keep seasons in mind - customers will not wear long sleeve items in summer. In the winter months, layer on the clothes to sell more items at once. I.e. select a top, inner and an outer all together. Put tights on under pants.
• Make use of accessories! They can bump the total price up dramatically when items such as watches or earrings are added to an outfit.
• You can resell items to a customer that you have given to them before, provided they are currently not wearing it. I cycle through the different colours of watches or earrings with chic customers.
• Always try to use the most expensive items if you want to make money fast. The outfit may look terrible, but the money is worth it.
• If you don't have an item in a category with the search criteria entered, take the price search feature off and select other items from Enid Chen or ARIANNA that fall under the chic image that are a cheaper price.
• Use Purple Moon items if you have them. They have a high price tag and it's a good way to clear them out.
• Some items will not go together. For example, a light jacket doesn't fit with a party dress as the picture below demonstrates.

Step 4

Serve all three customers that you invited that day and at the end of the day, the game will show you the total amount made that day. Using this method, you can make over $30,000 per day.

Step 5

Repeat the process each day! Invite more chic image customers to your boutique to sell more outfits. A good trick to use is to work through the list of chic customers in a row. For example, invite Alexis, Angelique and April on the first day and then Cerise, Gillian Grace and Heather the next day. Occasionally a customer will decline the invitation but you can just invite them another day.

Make sure you keep your stock from Enid Chen and ARIANNA at a good level so that you always have high priced items in stock to sell to chic customers. Use the restock app if you need to quickly stock up on items.

So that is the best method to use to make money fast in Styling Star. Using this method, I was able to increase my money from $32,000 to $150,000 in only a few days. There are some other methods you can use to make money and these are listed below:

Menswear Shop

It seems you do earn money at the Menswear Shop, the game just doesn't bring it up as a amount of the screen. Work at the Menswear Shop when you have no customers at the boutique. Male customers will often spend more than female customers and always request full outfits rather than one single item.

Mannequin - Purple Moon Items

The mannequin is the best way to sell Purple Moon items. Use the search function to select an image and choose Purple Moon items from that image. Customers will only buy Purple Moon items if it matches their image and the outfit belongs to one style. Outfits from Purple Moon are often made up of multiple images, for example the top may belong to preppy whilst the skirt belongs to chic. So you cannot sell complete outfit sets on the mannequin if the items do not belong to one single image.

Utilise The Mannequin

Always make sure you have an outfit on the store mannequin and sell it as soon as customers are interested. It's an easy way to get rid of items without much effort. 

Design Centre

Make sure you upload designs to the Design Centre for other players to buy. Upload anything you have designed onto the internet for other players to download and purchase. Please price your items at a reasonable price point so players are encouraged to purchase it. I've seen a basic dress priced for $99,999 recently and a shirt for $30,000. Don't abuse the system and set ridiculous amounts as it will turn players off from purchasing them and makes it difficult to find nice items.

This outfit is priced at a reasonable $600 for all four items.

Buying Miniatures & Make-Up

When your funds are running low or you're early on in the game, don't go crazy buying all the miniatures and make-up available each day as it will drain your cash quickly. The make-up items will always be available and miniatures cycle around so there will always be a chance to purchase them.

Purple Moon

Don't stock up on too many items from this brand at once as the brand is on the pricier side and items can be difficult to sell. You can sell back Purple Moon items if they aren't selling or moving quickly. You also don't make much profit back on Purple Moon items.

Shopdo

Regularly update the outfits available on your Shopdo. This is an easy way to make money and is also fun as you get to create different outfits. You can create medium to high priced outfits with images such as gothic and chic.
