Maxi_Millian
 
Greetings,
 
I am Maximillian WorldWide and i own MaxiMillian WorldWide Industries and so far i have restarted the game like 5 times. The main thing is basically profit. So i need a experienced player to sort of teach me the game on a one on one level because i am in dire need of mentor at this point. I get it...its something you probably don't see on the forums but this is my request and i hope someone takes it. Much obliged. Max.

The easiest way to start is with a small store (1000 sqm). Advertise it moderately, set competitive prices for your products, and prior to that, choose the right category of products and the right market (where the prices are high, the required quality low, and small to no competition from other companies).
 
If you do this right, you'll soon have a few millions and will be able to breathe a little bit financially speaking.
 
For any questions, feel free to send PMs Well

start off with 1 realm, spend 2-5 hrs. on how to use/work the games plenty of tabs and links, read the FAQ thread in the forums.
 
I'm new too just started today but am playing like 5-8 hrs. now and just trying to figure out what the OP in the FAQ thread NEWBIE guide is all about.

yep, definitely read the newbie guides + click around a bit to see what info is available, what options there. Then as soon as you can, make a budget. A financial plan. Be conservative. Keep in mind that you need enough liquidity to overcome a bad day in sales. Make sure that even then, you can procure new product to sell.
 
My advice would also be to gain stable profitability through stores. After that, invest in production as your financial plan AND qualifications allow. When you have cash to spare, you can venture into agri farms and medical centres.

Sounds a little like I'm pumping it up for an IPO.It's just a well run young company.I struggled at first too and looked at similar aged companies that were doing better.

I had the same experience when I first tried this game about a year ago. I made it about 2 days, and then failed miserably. I thought I would give it another try just recently, and it seems to be going better for me this time.
 
A couple things that helped:
 
1) Before building anything, dig around in the City Retail reports, and find a city with a group of products that have little competition, and an average price well above the available products for sale. I suggest specializing in one product category (at least to begin with), so you should consider markets for the whole category, and not just a single product. Once you found your city, build an office and a store.
 
2) Be very afraid to spend any money at first!! This is what caused my downfall the first time I played. Only open one office, and one store. Only supply that store with a minimum amount of goods (I started at 10 items each), then slowly increase the supply as your sales increase. Same thing goes with number of employees and advertising. Even now I get over ambitious sometimes, and it ends up biting me in the ass. Steady as she goes is the key.
 
3) Once that store is starting to turn a profit, use those profits to begin expanding into a few other stores. I suggest waiting to jump into production until you have a few profitable stores, because it is a large up front investment, and you may find you can't even do anything with the factory you just built due to supply issues.
 
4) ????
 
5) Profit!
 

I am still a newb myself, so take this advice with a grain of salt.
 
Best Regards,

I'm also a total newbie, just keeping my nose over the waterline...
Checking my financial reports over and over again to try figure out why I have red numbers...
Still doing profit, even if it's a very small one...
