How to Quickly Earn Free 'My Town' Cash in the Popular Facebook Game

Have you become addicted to My Town yet? My Town is one of Facebook's most popular free games. My Town puts you in charge of building and running a city. My Town can be described as a cross between the smash hit PC game Sim City and the wildly popular FarmVille - another free gaming application on the social networking site Facebook.

A Basic My Town Tip...

One of the most important things to remember about playing My Town is that each of the buildings you place will pay you endless amounts of My Town coins and My Town XP. XP is the key to reaching higher levels in the game. Buildings which are bordered by a green rim are ready for collecting coins and XP.

Each type of building has a timer - once that timer has run out, you're able to collect coins and XP from that building. Once the building is bordered in red, the chance to collect the usual yield of coins and XP has disappeared. However, you can still click on red-bordered buildings to gain a very small amount of coins and XP.

At any rate, collect those coins and XP so you can work toward earning enough money to construct more buildings and eventually level up. For every level to which you advance, you're awarded 1 My Town cash. While you optimally need neighbors (fellow Facebook users who also play My Town) to expand your city, you can still expand your town by purchasing large plots of land for 12 My Town cash. So how do you earn the My Town cash you need to expand your city and buy all the cool buildings that you can purchase with only My Town cash?

A Way to Earn Free My Town Cash...

With all the My Town coins you have gathered, buy a building (something that yields lots of XP - the post office is a good buy because for 500 coins you gain 65 XP; the supermarket gives you 35 XP for only 200 coins and the gas station costs 100 coins and offers 25 XP, but using either of these buildings will take you longer to reach higher levels when using my tip).

Now, the trick I'm about to walk you through works only if you have gathered thousands of coins. Though, if you collect the coins from your existing buildings on time and also perform favors for you're My Town neighbors, you should quickly be able to amass enough coins to perform this trick.

1. Buy the post office (or whatever building you choose) and place it in your town; you've just gained 65 XP.

2. Immediately sell the building. In the case of the post office - you'll receive 250 coins.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 repeatedly until you reach the next level - remember, you'll gain 1 My Town cash for every level you move to.

*This tips works with any building you choose to repeatedly buy, place, and then sell. However, certain buildings are better buys than others. For example, you gain 65 XP with either the post office or the fire station, but the post office costs just 500 coins while the fire station costs 750.

However, the supermarket awards you 35 XP for just 200 coins. If time is a concern, go with a high XP-yielding building like the post office. If money is tight, try something cheaper, like the supermarket or gas station.

How Many Coins Do You Need to Earn My Town Cash?

It depends what level you're in when trying to figure out how long it'll take for you to earn 1 My Town cash. Let's say, for example, you are at a point in the game where you need another 1,000 XP to reach the next level. If you're using the post office to reach that goal, you'll need roughly 16 post offices to achieve the next level. While you spend a gross 8,000 My Town coins doing that, you also are refunded 250 coins for every post office you sell. If you sell all 16 post offices, you'll have spent a net 4,000 coins to earn 1 My Town cash in this example.

While some may see this as fairly wasteful, the reality is that this is one of the fastest ways to level up in My Town and gain My Town cash - and it surely beats shelling out your own REAL money to buy My Town cash, doesn't it?
