Getting Gold in Gaia

There are lots of ways of getting gold in Gaia but one of my favourite ways is by doing puzzels and posting posts in forums as this so far is the best way of getting gold that i have found. I have just bought a trading pass and am trying to buy things on the cheap and sell them for a profit but at the moment im just trying to suss out how to work it. I found that trying to win Gold by playing cards or the slots is not the best way of earning gold as like real life i never seem to win. Also it is good how you can earn gold just by surfing the Gaia site but you dont earn that much and are much better trying to do someting else. I have not sussed out how to shake trees to find gold or win gold by fishing by these are the next things that i wish to find out about.
