For some reason, I found the start of Market Glory to be a little less intimidating than my experience with other game however, that might just be because I started with Anno, and Market Glory looked pretty similar, so I kind of knew the gist of the start. Anyways, no more off-topic tangents, onto the guide of how to start Market Glory on the right track.

1) Work Consistently
In here, you can work every 24 hours, but make sure you start at a time that you are usually on the computer because, from my assumptions of what I experienced, Market Glory for their superworker bonus, which requires 7 STRAIGHT days of work. In other words, Market Glory has a server reset at 00:00 server time (u can work once every 24 hour) that allows for tallying up the referral bonuses, arena bonuses, resetting the fighting cap (more on that below), etc., so if you work for 6 days straight, but forget on the 7th (server) day and the server reset occurred before you worked, you lost your chance to get money efficiently.
Therefore, I would recommend starting work as soon as possible after the server reset (if it works with your schedule) because then you have more "wiggle space" in case stuff comes up and requires you to postpone working at your usual time (i.e. if you usually work 1 hour after server reset, you have a full 23 hours to work and still get your bonus, but if you usually work 1 hour before reset, you only have 1 hour before your chance of getting the worker bonus goes down the drain) and can stay on the right road to getting money.
Again, the matter of the superworker bonus and server resets are only assumptions from my experience, so it might not be correct (waiting for confirmation from the staff).
2) Fight x 10
Market Glory only allows 10 fights per (server) day now - aah, those were the days when you could farm, farm, and farm fights all day long lol - that takes about 9-10 minutes per fight. If you win the fight, the person becomes your referral and pays you a percentage of his/her profits (if they're active), which you should know by now means you get more money. In addition to your fight bonus, if your "referral" was active that day, you will get a government bonus for every active referral you have; therefore, fighting can be pretty profitable if done right. Right now though, you just have to keep fighting with those who have 1 energy and you will be making what you can out of it.
3) Arena
Fight in Arena u can earn bonus daily based ur Rank
4) War Defend Your country
You can Fight and Defend Your country or attack another country and ripp other country warfund this lot make moneyNo Work Timer! :D
Now, having said all of that, fortunately , you can actually work while you fight, and there is no timer when you work, so no downtime really.
Enjoy your game and get the real money :D
