Are you looking for different ways to earn Farmville Bucks in Farmville rather than being forced to purchase items with just Farmville Coins? Earning Farmville Bucks in Zynga's online Facebook game can be easy! This guide will show you how to earn Farmville Bucks by highlighting each of the different ways that you can accumulate money within the game. Farmville wants you to have a rewarding time while playing the game and provides many different options to get the money you need to buy what you want.

Zynga's Farmville on Facebook can be an addictive and fun game. While playing, one must earn Farmville Bucks, Farmville Coins and XP (experience points). While Farmville Coins can buy a variety of items, including all of the items you actually need to play the game, many desirable items are available for purchase with Farmville Bucks only. However, as you "level up" and gain experience points, you may find that more of the items you want can be purchased with just coins. Some Bucks-only items can be purchased with coins once you reach certain levels.

Before beginning, login to facebook and ensure that you have allowed Farmville access to your account. If you haven't played Farmville before, visit the Farmville Facebook page first to start playing.

There are two different ways to earn Farmville Bucks. Whether you play the game within Facebook or on Zynga's website, earning works the same way. You'll have to choose which one's right for you based on how much time you'd like to spend playing the game and how long you'd like to wait before being able to purchase the Farmville items that you want. How long you'll need to wait may also depend on how expensive the items are that you'd like to buy. If something sells for 60 Farmville Bucks or more, you may be waiting quite a while.

The first way to get your Farmville Bucks is to buy them with Visa, Mastercard or Paypal. This is the easiest and fastest way to get FarmVille Bucks. However, the obvious drawback is that it costs you real US currency. That being said, if accomplishing objectives in a short period of time is your goal, paying a few dollars lets you do that. The number of hours of gameplay you can save by paying just a few dollars can really add up. If you think of the number of hours saved and compare it to what you get paid hourly at your job, you may find that paying cash for Farmville Bucks can still make a lot of sense.

There is a second way to earn Farmville Bucks that is 100% free! Every time your level increases due to you accumulating XP, you will earn 1 FarmVille Buck. Increasing your level happens simply by playing the game and building a strong farm. Accomplishing certain objectives, trying different things and winning awards and ribbons can help you to gain XP faster and progress through the levels in a shorter period of time. Progressing through more levels means more Farmville Bucks! That being said, buying expensive items can take a very long time. You'll also be owning relatively few items that are Bucks-only and can't be purchased with coins. For example, if you want to buy a certain type of Bucks-only animal, you're not going to be able to buy a huge grazing area full of them by playing for free. Another thing to note is that, as you progress through the different levels by gaining XP, some items that previously could only be purchased with Farmville Bucks become purchasable with coins. If you've earned all your Farmville Bucks the free way, it can make sense to watch for this trend and hold onto as many of your Bucks as possible.

There are a variety of ways that you can earn FarmVille Coins every single day. If you're looking to get ahead, don't forget to login to FarmVille once every day to get any bonuses that are being offered for daily logins. Past "daily login" rewards have included free fuel.

FarmVille coins will contribute to your XP. When you have enough XP points, your level will increase and you will gain a FarmVille buck. With each new daily login, you can earn coins in a number of different ways:

1. Did you know that you can earn coins in the daily raffle? Simply by logging in to Farmville, you will earn coins! Other bonuses like fuel area also offered during special "promotional weeks." Don't be surprised if extra bonuses are awarded around major holidays, too.
2. Plant seeds to earn a different amount of coins depending on the crop that you plant.
3. Harvest animals, trees, or crops that are ready.
4. Every time your FarmVille neighbors and Facebook Friends receive an award, you will be awarded coins.
5. You can sell trees, farm decorations or animals to collect FarmVille coins.
6. Mystery coins appear at random. The larger your farm, the more frequently you will receive mystery coins.
