As a y-mail helper, I'm frequently asked the question 'How do I earn clams?'. Well, it's actually pretty simple. I'm here to give you some tips that you may or may not have known of on how to earn clams in Whyville.
First off, clams are virtual currency in Whyville. This is our money that we use to buy face parts, blocks, furniture, projectiles, etc.
1. A great way to start earning clams is by starting a salary. To get to your salary ledger (the place where all salary games are found) click the black icon at the top of your screen. A salary is an amount of clams you've earned that you will receive once every day you log onto your Whyville account. *Note: You will not receive that amount of clams until the next day. However, some salary games give you clams on the spot for playing.*
Some easy salary games are:
Skater Game
Spin Game
WhyPower Green Build
Getty Art Sets
Spitzer Spectrum
House of Illusions
Dance Creation
GeoDig Levels
PlaneWorks CAD
Raven Island Fire Starters Game
Reef Food Web
Reef Simulations
Reef Species ID
Critter Care
*EDIT*
Wellness Center
Vampire Power
BIOlymics
Career Quest
Scion Driving School
Wilson City Rescue Tutorial
Wilson City Rescue Outdoor
Wilson City Rescue House
Wilson City Rescue Car
Tips and Hints:
Skater Game:Experiment with different ways to put it's limbs and you'll eventually find the right one.
Spin Game:
Experiment with different shapes and positions and you'll eventually find the right one.
WhyPower Green Build:
Stay away from things that are too expensive, while keeping in mind energy efficiency.
Getty Art Sets:
In this game, all you have to do is take the tutorial, which is not hard. You only earn two clams of salary.
House of Illusions:
In this game, all you have to do is walk through the rooms. You can check out the pictures if you like. Some are pretty interesting.
Dance Creation:
You'll actually have to pay to make your dance depending on how many steps it has, but you'll earn that money back in just a few days. You get ten clams of salary from this game!
Geodig Levels:
Three words, trial and error.
PlaneWorks CAD:
In this game, you just have to put the planes together by connecting the dots. Save each plane, and you'll earn four clams of salary.
Raven Island Fire Starters Game:
Choose the right thing you should do. Like calling an adult instead of joining in.
Reef Food Web:
Usually, larger animals are at the top of the food chain (but in this case it would actually be at the bottom, sorry if I'm being confusing) and smaller animals and plants are at the bottom. If you don't place a plant or animal in the right spot, it will tell you it's wrong and you can just try again.
Reef Identification:
Some animals are harder to find than others. For example the dolphin, turtles, sharks, octopus, jellyfish, and moray eel. When you're diving, click those first.
Critter Care:
Need help caring for the fish? Click here. Frog tutorial. Pig tutorial.
*EDIT*
Wellness Center: Go both outside the Wellness Center to what I like to call the "General Stress Room" and the Social Anxiety Room. Ask questions and give pieces of good advice to the distressed avatars and you will eventually find all the pieces of advice and increase your salary. Avoid harsh or judgmental sounding envelopes like "Get over it" or "Don't think about it". They will not help the distressed avatars and will not count towards your salary.

BIOLympics: *BIOLYMPICS TUTORIAL COMING SOON*
Career Quest: Try to join as many quests as you can. Follow the "hot and cold" clues and eventually you will have found careers in all of the career clusters and sub-clusters.
Random Tip: When you're in your ledger, try sorting them by clams left to earn or maximum clams.
Follow these tips and you can have a high salary in no time! (My salary is 227!) *EDIT* (My salary is 304.)
2. Play games on Whyville! But you should be aware that some games will not give you clams. To see a list of lots of games click the green 'Play' button on your screen.
Games that give clams are:
Recycle Game (You will need someone to help you with this. You can't do it by yourself.)
Scion RaceTrack
Critter Care Habitat Builder
Critter Care AALAS Solitaire
Microbe Wars
Food Sort Game
Love/Hate Game
Dude! Where's my shark? Game
Whack-a-Virus Game
Tips and Hints:
Recycle Game:
Like I said, you will need someone to help you with this game. Your avatar also moves faster when you have less face parts on.
Scion RaceTrack:
When building your car, certain updates will help you overcome obstacles.
Microbe Wars:
You can play with a friend or with Sonya by saying 'summon sonya'. EARN DOUBLE CLAMS! You must collect all the Microbe cards that pop up in chat. This is a great game to earn clams. In one game, I once won over 300 clams!
Love/Hate Game:
You will need at least two other eligible people to play this game with you.
3. Participate in Contests. They're everywhere! Participate in BC's (Beauty Contests), Raffles, and other contests. There are always contests going on in the BBS and sometimes in the Whyville Times. You will usually see people promoting BC's in chat. Don't forget special contests like the Scion Car Rallies.
4. Miscellaneous. You can find easy ways to earn clams all over Whyville.
Take the chat test! You'll automatically earn 150 clams.
Whyville-Wise your parents and earn 80 clams. Just go to *Parent Ed Bonus in the bus menu, print the certificate, have them sign it, you sign it also, and fax it to Whyville.
Build a scion for the Scion Race Track. It's not too hard, and you'll earn 50 clams for the first one you build.
Create a Love/Hate List. Once you select 20 items, you'll get 40 clams.
Collect Dell Parts. They randomly pop up in Whyville chat rooms and for each one you cash in, you get one clam. I know it's not a lot, but trust me, it adds up.
Teach your pet to dig. You can buy a pet with pearls and teach them to dig. Take them into a Whyville chatroom, and say 'pet dig'. They may dig up a clam, projectile, SDV (Scion Decal Voucher) or even pearls. It's still not much but it adds up.
Join WhyEat. For each day you stay healthy on WhyEat, you'll get 25 clams. But I should warn you, this game is not easy.
5. Start your own business. You can sell face parts in Akbar's face mall or create songs in the Scion Music Jukebox. For this it takes clams, to earn clams, but it's worth it.
*EDIT*
6. Apply for a Whyville Job. You can be a stylist, performance artist, doctor, clam coach, chef, and more! Once you apply for and accept a job, you will be given a halo to wear on your avatar stating your job title. Simply wear it on your avatar and type "work" while in a chatroom to offer your service to others. If you offer to help 20 people in one day, you will earn 50 clams.
Good luck earning clams!
