 - Credits is the sites main currency, u will find that a lot of people when selling or buying items will ask for credits. Credits have a lot of uses and is definitely the go to. Credits can be used for buying Manager and Diamond member, u can read more about those here. Credits is as said also the go to currency for most users, so if u wanna spend your credits, u should hit up the clothing forum category or check out the shops! Credits can be bought for real money, but if don't wanna spend your money there is other ways to get a hand on them.

My tips are:
1. Join as many contests as u can. Bigger contests with new sets are generally held by teams like ET(event team) or SMT(social media team), but u can also find contests held by users, if u check out the contest forum category. Contests are generally different so there should be something for everyone (u can even lend wardrobes if u find yourself with a little wardrobe)

2. Claim codes released by the teams. Teams will every week release one or more codes, with new items. Codes are not always released in the same place and some are even made into code hunts! But u can read more about that in Limited's Code forum here.

3. Something for something. Most people on virtual popstar isn't to fond of donation threads and they are generally not a common thing on here. The way i suggest to get your donations in, is by giving something in return. If u have a creative talent, drawing avatars for money is for sure the way to go. But if u don't have the skills, there for sure is the option to do stylings for donations (but please make sure u are both agreed to it, no sending random stylings to people and demand money)
