The secret is to use lots of three- and four-element monsters, as soon as you can, and try to make all of the monsters 100% happy. It is the same principle as with the bakeries. A dozen entbrats that are 100% happy can make some serious coin in day.

If you are still stuck in the realm of one- and two-element monsters, keep working their levels up by feeding them. That lets them make more coins per hour and increases their total capacity. That said, there are a number of monsters that just never reach a profitable rate or capacity. I still try to keep them around, because they are the foundations of each island's song. That choice can get hard to live with when you reach the point of shopping for ¢25,000,00 decorations or a Wubbox at ¢75,000,000.

I'm only about a month ahead of you, so the rewards can come pretty quickly and they really snowball when you have bred the ethereal, legendary, and seasonal monsters. I'm just breaking over that threshold myself, having just put my first ethereal monster on the ethereal island. I have bred a Shugabush, but not teleported it and I have one or two more single element ethereal monsters to breed and teleport before things really take off. I'm pulling down about ¢3,500,000-ish per day at this point.

The best non-obvious strategy that I worked out all on my own was to buy the other islands ASAP, foregoing all other goals. I was then able to put mines and bakeries on them to increase my treat count and get more free daily gems. The bonus with the added bakeries is that you get XP for baking treats, so you level up more quickly, as do your monsters when you feed them all the extra grub.

Hang in there and keep looking for ways to get all you can from your monsters and structures. You will do just fine. My friend code is 23424146GC. Add me as a friend and I will be happy to light Wishing Torches for you when you have gotten that far. They really do make a difference in breeding some of the less common monsters.
