Plant a lot of profitable crops
The number one method of quickly earning money in FarmVille is to maximize the profitability of your harvest. Don’t worry about buying buildings or decorations at first — fill your entire farm with crops, choose the seeds that will make you the most money and plant them as often as possible.
Expand
If you can afford to expand your farm, you can then grow more crops at once thereby increasing your hourly earnings. Even better is if you can build up enough neighbors to get the farm expansions for free.
Be a good neighbor
Go to FarmVille’s “My Neighbors” page and add every one of your friends who plays the game. You can help out on each neighbor’s farm once per day, which earns you coins and experience.
Give and you shall receive
Each day you are permitted to send up to 25 neighbors a free gift. Click on FarmVille’s “Free Gifts” tab, choose the gift you wish to send, click the “Proceed to Send” button and select up to 25 neighbors to receive the gift. Hopefully your friends will appreciate the free gifts and send some back to you in return.
Some of the best gifts to receive are trees and animals. Trees grow fruit and animals give wool, milk and other products which can be harvested for coins. You don’t have to spend coins maintaining these gifts, so they can just sit on the side of your farm slowly earning money (line them up along the outer edges so they don’t consume space that would be better used for growing crops).
Celebrate your neighbors’ accomplishments
Keep an eye on the FarmVille notifications that show up in your Facebook news feed. When your neighbors earn ribbons you can click the “Get a bonus from [person's name]!” link to get some free coins. You can only do this once per notification, and in a timely manner — trying to collect old bonuses will just trigger a message saying that the celebration has ended.
Collect for your own achievements
FarmVille awards “achievements” when you meet various criteria. Each achievement gets you a bonus in both coins and XP. Achievements are awarded for doing things like adding neighbors, adopting animals, taking pictures, planting a lot of crops, giving gifts, etc…
Adopt animals found by your neighbors
From time-to-time your neighbors will find stray animals and put them up for adoption in their news feed. If you are the first to see the notice, you can adopt the animal, stick it on the side of your farm and earn a little money from whatever it produces.
Get coins from the daily raffle
There’s a daily raffle that will often give you a few coins just for logging into FarmVille.
Enjoy your hard-earned cash
Eventually you’ll build up a stockpile of cash and earn enough experience to plant seeds that are high earners requiring minimal care. Buy some fun decorations and build an impressive farm!
