Hit a New Milestone in Rising Star Game

It's been a long couple of weeks since my last @risingstargame update. Here we are today at level 40 and finally able to try the Record a Demo mission. I used to have around 913 permanent fans and around 700 skill. For the past few weeks I've been strategically buying some character cards (rappers) and did one music lesson mission to bring my skill up so that ego doesn't kill my starbit income. After that problem was dealt with I focused on grinding and gaining the 10 levels I needed.

Now that that's done I'm already looking towards the next mission's requirements. I think I have to gain 10 more levels (level 50) and have 1000 fans. The fans I have. As for the level requirement, I'm saving up for a big XP boost card so I could gain those levels faster.
My strategy is simple. I mostly do the 5 minute missions until I find a pizza. Once I do, it gets saved in my handy dandy pizza box. I don't use it right away. I usually keep doing the short missions until I find another pizza, which gets eaten right away since I only have 1 box. Depending on the time of day, I'll either do the 1 hour Shopping Mall mission from Local Gig Circuit or the 3 hour headline mission from the first zone, which rewards a similar amount of XP but more Starbits. I like to do the latter before I go to sleep and when I wake up I have full energy and time to repeat.
That's all for my progress report. It was one small tap of my finger, one giant leap on my way to mega stardom.
