Fast gold strategy

Especially at the beginning it often lacks the necessary small change to buy the necessary extensions, etc .. But besides the orders of the Trade Guild, there is still an easy way to get to Gol quickly.

Build a fishing rod
Run to Grandma Sophie and buy 100-200 caterpillars there
Now go to the fishing spot in front of the harbor
Angle there, as long as your stamina allows, with a few dried apple rings you can rebuild your stamina.
a golden salmon brings 30 Gol, an Kaisergold salmon 60 Gol, a Puffer 100 Gol and the Kais Puffer even 200 Gol.
All fish are quite easy to catch and the simple puffer fish actually bite well.

Since the caterpillars are quite cheap (in a good market situation 3 Gol) you make even with the simple gold salmon still a good profit if you sell the fish on a day when the market prices are eg 110%. I usually chose Saturday as a fishing day, because there are no orders in the guild on this day anyway, then there was still the Sunday for logging or mining.

Social Strategy

Meet everyone. This way you can get rid of those pesky ? marks on the social tab and get a little glimpse into what their character is like and what benefits you get from befriending them.

Focus on a few people at a time, particluarly the ones that you are interested in romancing. Chat to them every day and gift them something simple if need be, an extra point every day goes a long way. The My Time at Portia wiki has a lot of tips on which NPC likes what item.

Don't forget your friends! A developer has confirmed that your social points will decay if you do no interact with the person after a time limit.

Commissions are a nice little boost if you don't mind giving up some gols/ reputation. Portia's residents can put in commissions, usually easier ones, which reward the player with social points to their corresponding owner.

Don't get caught cheating! There's a jealousy system in place when you romance multiple characters. If you are out on a date with one and bump into another romanced character you will send both of them into a jealousy state, losing social points and not being able to interact with them (chat, gift, etc). You will have to gain their trust again by gifting or completing tasks or waiting 7 days.

Stuff

So far the most known secret, is the secret room. I do not have pictures of it, but have found and been in the room myself. Reports say that this room is in AR #1 and you must clear out the area under the elevator and you'll find a tunnel. This tunnel should have the 'E' button prompt and say something like "Unknown" or "Secret" location. You venture in and I found there to be level one Gooeys and one chest that gave me llama fluff. Uneventful. There are folks who have spent weeks in game clearing out the mine and have not found it, while others have stumbled on it by accident. We don't know if it always shows up or is a random spawn, but there you go. Also in the AR #1 is a large piece of architecture with a hit box (this one I haven't found). In order to properly mine it, you need to upgrade your pick axe to bronze or higher. From what I heard, this is also uneventful when you break out.

Use a Duck to fight with your sword

If you grab a Duck and hold it in your hands, with your curser on your sword, go up to a local and ask for a fight. When they except, that duck will turn into your sword, and you can use it to fight everyone! and "WIN".
