You can’t do anything in Farmville without coins, so you need to know how to make money in Farmville. Because you have to have your cash for just about everything in FarmVille, you need to max out the earning potential of your crops and everything going on on your farm.

The easiest way to get a handle on this is to figure out which of your crops earn you the most coins per hour of growth. Let’s take the example of strawberries. They sell for 35 coins for every plot of land you harvest and their growing time is 4 hours. However, pumpkins for instance, they grown in 8 hours and they go for 68 coins for every plot of harvested land.

When we figure all that out, we get for the same acreage planted, earnings of 8.75 coins per hour for raising strawberries and raising pumpkins will earn you 8.5 coins per hour, .25 coins less per hour. Even though this looks like a small difference, these little amounts add up fast and can be substantial the bigger your farm gets. However, you won’t be getting your money’s worth if you can’t harvest the more cost effective plants when they are ready and then go right back and start planting again on the same plot.

Let’s say you can’t log into Facebook for 8 hours or more, you’re much better off planting the pumpkins because they take longer to grow. The longer you leave your plants after they are done maturing, the less you will be getting when you are able to log back in and harvest your crops. The fast money is earned on crops that mature quickly so that means you will have to be able to log in a pick or harvest at just about any time.

You will want to take think about these details when you select your seeds and buy them from the Market. Follow these simple techniques and you will be earning big coins quickly and before you know it you will have a huge farm.
