The #1 easyest way to make np's is the stock market, buy 1000 shares every day at 15 and sell at 40,45,50,or even 60. Just play enough games everyday to buy your stocks. Following the above advice will get you 2-3 million a year min and prolly a lot more.

neobeth is exactly right.

Yes stocks help a lot, I make a ton from them. (Not a lot to you rich people, but a lot to me) They require almost no effort at all, just sit and wait until it is more expensive, then sell it and you make money! Just play games and other stuff to earn money for buying stocks though.

Neobeth is right. The best way is to use the stock market, but it takes a bit more patience. If you want some NP right a away there is this amazing guide on how to make some really quickly by just playing like five games here: http://www.neopets.com/~kipchipotto7

You can also make about a million a month if you win three map pieces a day playing world challenges then sell the pieces.

Excellent point there. Yesterday I got 2 WC pieces and sold them for 25k :)

World Challenges are great money-makers. You should do it, and the pieces sell quite well.

Play alot of games. You'll be really bad at some of them, maybe even alot of them, but you're going to find games that you can either make alot of money from or that you find fun. If you continue doing this, you'll probably get to the point where you find your "core group" of games that you play every day. This can be relatively profitable (not like restocking, but pretty good) and it requires no capital to start. All I do are games and random events and I make about 25k a day, more on weekends.

If you play this game you can get an easy 3k, 1/5 of the cost to buy your shares for the day.

--
The world challenges are only practical if you stay home and play neopets all day.

I also find non flash games to be helpful. Things like pyramids, dice-a-roo etc all lead to increased chances of random events. If repeated clicking does not make you crazy its helpful, though not as lucrative as the stock market. I frequently get codestones this way which are great for profit. Not to mention the money made playing the games or selling the items you get from the games. That way I am earning something while waiting for my stocks to move.

Good luck!

Frankly, I have never used stocks to gain money. I played with stocks for a little while just because it amused me, but the only thing I have ever done to gain money on the site is to play games and do the dailies.

A year ago, I had about 100k NP. I started playing more often. I started getting more NP. I started getting items from page views, and from the dailies. I put all the items in my SDB for the pack rat av. I then spent 5-10k on cheap items for the pack rat av. Then, I sold everything in my SDB, 75 items at a time (because I didn't want to spend money to get a bigger shop.) By a few months ago, I had 2 million NP but I spent half of it on a MP and PB for one of my pets, so I'm down to "only" a million now.

I didn't make all that money in 30 days. But, by getting online and playing the games, doing the freebies, and not spending money on big things until I had achieved my goal (having enough to buy what I wanted PLUS 1 mil left in the bank afterwards)... I'm a neomillionaire with the stuff I wanted.

It worked!
