Just a few rules before we start:

1. I know that some of you will
complain about the whole point of Pokeheroes is to have fun and
stuff. Obviously I know that, but this is just for people that want
to learn how to make some money on here.
2. None of these tips are completely guaranteed to work, these are just what work for me.
3. If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask. You can post a question on this thread, or if it's more private, you can PP or PM me. (If I don't answer it within a day or two, just send a PP or PM and let me know :D)
4. Don't expect to become a millionaire over night. Most of these tips will take a while to learn and master.
5. This sort of goes with Rule 1, but if I see anyone criticizing me or anyone else that may use these tips, I will immediately block you, and depending on how bad you are, possibly report you for harassment.
6. Have fun. Remember that this is a friendly game, and if someone snipes an auction off you or something, remember that this is just a game, and don't go crazy.
*NEW* 7. Rereading this a year and a half later, I realized that I didn't account for possible inflation/deflation, so don't expect these prices to be completely accurate! (I have updated some small stuff, but things and prices are always subject to change, so don't expect everything to be 100% accurate)

Tip #1: Buy Low, Sell High
Show
hidden content
You've probably heard this saying
before, and this is probably the most obvious tip on this list.
Depending on what you do this on, you could make anywhere from 10k
PD to millions of PD per attempt. An easy way to start is by going
to the Auction House or GTS and buying an event for around 2k or
less. Depending on the event, you will probably be able to sell it
for 5-10k. You can probably also find a cheap shiny for 5-10k and
resell that for at least 15-20k. The more you do this and the more
money you have, the bigger things you can do this with. For
example, while I'm making this, there is a Shiny Mega-able Magikarp
in the Auction House going for 6 mil, which I can later sell for
probably 5 or 6k nuggets, making between a 1.5 mil and 3 mil
profit. (Also, I would not recommend selling shiny megas on Auction
House, you'll almost never get what they're worth for them, but
that's a later tip)
Tip #2: Make Lots of Friends
Show
hidden content
This won't only help you make money,
it will help you in all sorts of ways. If you need an egg to hatch
quickly, just put out a feed asking for an interaction exchange or
giving a link to an egg. Also, if you need anything, you can
usually just put out a feed and someone will have what you're
looking for. Same with if you're trying to sell something, someone
will probably buy it. Some people also make special deals for
friends. For example, if I'm looking for a specific mon, whether it
be for Dex completion or something else, I may offer 5k in the GTS,
but may also post a feed and give 10k to friends if they have
it!
Tip #3: Get Your Hands on New Events
Show
hidden content
If you are awake during reset and a
few hours after, you can usually get a new event very quickly. If
you do manage to get one early, you can usually sell it for 50-75k.
Obviously if you get one of the first On Site, I would not
recommend selling it, unless you don't want/like it. Also, always
have a Mega Stone or two on you in case there is a new Mega-able
event, in which case you can probably sell it mega evolved for
about 500k instead of the ~200k for the mega stone and ~50-75k for
the new event.
Tip #4: Save Up for Premium
Show
hidden content
If you have not already, I would
definitely recommend saving up for premium. I recommend saving up
for either 6 months or 1 year of premium, as you will get the most
value out of it. Also, know when your premium is going to end and
always have enough nuggets saved up so you can re-buy it right
away. Premium is a necessity if you want to make good money on
shiny hunting, plus it makes other features of the game way
easier.
Tip #5: Effectively Shiny Hunt
Show
hidden content
Shiny Hunting is a great way to make
PD, but be careful what you hunt. I would not recommend hunting
something that could be mega-able unless you plan to shiny mega
hunt it, especially if you don't have premium. It is NOT
worth it to spend 50k on a Pokeradar to only get 10k from selling
the shiny. If you do have premium, though, I would strongly
recommend Shiny Mega hunting. If you get lucky and hatch one early,
you pretty much get a free 2-5k nuggets, depending on which Shiny
Mega it is, which already pays for your next premium. One thing
that is really good for hunting is anything new (as of making this,
I plan to hunt some Galar pokemon once they come out). Also, if you
can, I would strongly recommend either joining or starting a shiny
shop, as you will get many people's attention and the possibility
that they'll go to buy a shiny from someone else, see what you're
hunting, and get one from you too.
Tip #6: Take Advantage of the Auction House
Show
hidden content
The Auction House is a great place to
find some really good stuff at really great prices. But some things
you should know about it. First, I almost never put anything in the
Auction House. The main reason I do this is because you will almost
never actually get what it's worth, unless, for example, you want
150k for something and put 150k at the starting price. But with
that, it's unlikely that someone will bid on it, at least in my
experiences. Second, if you see something that you're interested
in, if you have the PD, outbid by 1 PD so you can track it easier.
It's just easier to scroll down to the bottom of the page than
searching for that specific Pokemon. Third, if you do put a mon up
for auction, if it is worth it, put the starting price at 0 PD and
promote it for somewhere between 3 hours and a day. This will start
a bidding war, where people will see it and say, "A shiny for 1 PD?
I'll bid on that!" Then some other people will come along and see a
cheap shiny and bid on it. After that, everyone that bid will see a
notification when they get outbid and will see it when they scroll
down to the bottom of the Auction House until the auction ends.
Keep in mind that this does not always work, and do not assume that
it always will, so don't try it with incredibly valuable mons, as
it is pretty risky. Last but not least, never put a Pokemon worth
more than 1 mil in the AH, because you are not guaranteed to get
that much, even if you put the max starting bid. So never put a
Ditto, Shiny Mega, Shiny Legend, etc. in there (GTS is usually
safer), but if you do see one in there, keep an eye on it, as you
might be able to get it for cheap.
Tip #7: Find Something that You're Good At
Show
hidden content
Whether you're good at art, boiling
mega stones, or even promoting somebody's shop, there's PD to be
made in pretty much anything on here. Pretty much anything you
enjoy doing and are really good at has the ability to make tons of
PD. For example, if you're good at boiling mega stones, all you
have to do is get 5 of every gem, which will cost around 110k at
most, but after you boil it, you can probably sell it for around
200k (maybe 300k if there's an event going on or something). Even
if you're good at interacting, you can still make a lot of money.
If you get around 6PD per interaction and 10k a day, that's 60k
right there plus the GGC for the Golden Slots, where you can make
even more. But no matter what you're good at, there's bound to be a
way for you to make some money!
Tip #8: Find Something that Everyone Wants
Show
hidden content
This sort of goes with the last one,
but finding something that everyone wants is a good way to make
money. For example, if you can stock up on nuggets before one of
the big seasonal sales, you can make tons of money. If you buy
1,000 nuggets for 1.6k PD each and sell them for 1.8k during the
sale, that's a 200k profit right there. Two other big ones are Mega
Stones and Mystery Boxes. Whenever a new mega-able comes out,
people always want mega stones right away and will pay 300-350k for
one, instead of the usual ~200k. And whenever something new comes
to the Mystery Boxes, people will pay 12k per box or key instead of
10k, so that's a lot of money if you can stock up. (Obviously with
these two, there's no way to tell when they're going to happen, so
you've gotta be prepared)
Tip #9: Make a Shop
Show
hidden content
A great way to advertise what you are
buying and selling is by making a shop. With a shop, you get to set
your own prices instead of negotiating with people. You can also
clearly say what you are buying/selling without having to make
multiple feeds or GTS trades. You can do this alone or with a
friend or two, but I would recommend doing it with a friend,
because (same with the shiny shop) someone could come looking for
something from your friend, see something that you're selling and
buy that as well. Remember to keep it updated if you want people to
keep coming. Also leave it somewhere in your Userprofile (Contact
Links or a Custom Panel is probably the easiest).
Tip #10: Stay Active
Show
hidden content
Probably the easiest way to make money
on here is to be active. Simply going to the Honey Tree, staying on
top of Rumbling, and checking Gem Exchange, GTS, and Auction House
often are very easy to do, but given time, can get you a lot of
money. This is originally how I made a lot of money and it's very
easy to do. You get so much free stuff for just coming on, so it's
very easy. Rumbling can get you an easy 20k every 12 hours, and can
get you way more the higher level you are. Also daily check-in is
easy. Just come on the site once a day and get a few thousand PD
easily. Just stay on top of things, and you can probably get 50k in
5 minutes every day, if you know what you're doing.
Tip #11: Get Lucky
Show
hidden content
This way is extremely easy, but will
require a lot of luck. People (including myself) do giveaways very
often, and usually all you have to do is just post a feed sharing a
hashtag or liking a feed or something, and you sometimes have the
chance to win thousands, if not millions, of PD. Just enter as many
as you can, get lucky, and hope that you win. I plan to host a few
in the future, so stay tuned!
Other Forum Tips:
1. Log in
2. Check rumbles
3. Open boxes
4. Sell extra boxes/keys (excluding Gold)
5. Repeat
I got 3M PD using this trick almost daily. It's kinda slow, so I recommend you apply this and other methods too.

1: get at least 5-10k Game chips
2: Start out at 1000 GC on the Coin Flip game, spam the “Flip” button
3: wait until you get ~50k GC then put 10k for the gamble, then spam “Flip”
4: once you get 500k GC, buy the maximum amount of Lottery tickets, hope you get grand prize
5: if you somehow get over 1mil GC, buy the shinies from the Prize Exchange and sell them. Easy 1 mil PD
