Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'll show you how to figure out how to earn gold, and tell you a few tricks, too! I am sorry, but I am unable to donate at this time.
Do you see that gold circle with a G in it? Next to it is a number, that's how much gold you have. If you click on it, it will show you many ways on how to make or earn gold. If you go to Community then Forums and you look around a little, you might find some generous people who are willing to donate to you, as well.
A few ways to make gold is to just roam around Gaia! By exploring Gaia you earn gold, like a reward for visiting the site. You can also play the games. These games are located under the "Games" tab, but require flash. By doing the Daily Chance, you earn not only gold, but items as well! These are carts located near the top, on the right. You can do one a day for each tab: Home, My Gaia, Shop, Community, World, and Games. Posting in the forums, on profiles, in journals, on aqauriums, and by PMing and IMing, you can earn even more gold. Gaia will let you know when special events, where more gold or cash is offered, will be held.
I hope I have helped, and if you need more help, just ask!
