1. Go Bulletproof
My biggest mistake by far, Tycoon pays off big in the long run and Insomniac will get you levels like no other.(Tycoon > Insomniac overall IMO) Bulletproof lets you regain... health... faster. Woopdeedo. My zero deaths and low loss rate is totally worth being a relatively low level and not having nearly as much income as would have had if I had gone Tycoon.
Ironically I picked Tycoon first then restarted and picked Bulletproof.
2. Level up too fast
That was my mistake before I restarted and why so many people quit mobwars before finding the fun of it. Don't spend too much in energy early as the best job is at 10 energy and the faster you gain levels the more well established mobsters will whack you for easy ca-ching. Especially for new players it's better to build up and then level up, not vice versa.
*Disclaimer: If you're careful and know what you're doing, leveling up fast can be a successful strategy, although I definitely don't recommend it for your first time.
3. Be a one man mob
Who needs friends in mobwars? Anyone who wants to win, that's who.
The only downside to having more mobsters is that you will get attacked less and therefore might not get as much XP. If you're worried about people finding your info or whatever, remove them after they add you, nobody takes it personally.
4. Bank your money
With all my money, instead of putting it directly towards getting money later or buying stuff, I'm going to throw 10% of it away and then not use it.
That's what you're telling me when you bank money. Throw a mil in there for the hospital and if you want to be one of the richest have fun with that. But otherwise don't bank your money.
5. Hitlist when you don't want to be hitlisted
How much it costs to hitlist you = you're income (after upkeep is reduced) x10. Easy enough. General rule is that if you hitlist someone else, they are a lot more likely to hitlist you back or have their friends hitlist you. I've never been hitlisted because I've never hitlisted anyone else. Luck? Sure, but nobody wants to spend that much money on me either. If your income is low, be wary of hitlisting others.
6. Make too many enemies
Easiest way to avoid this is by not doing something incredibly stupid. Don't post new add me threads, don't cheat, don't annoy or harass others and don't have an inappropriate name. If you avoid these then you won't have a gang after you 24/7. Then again you may be unlucky and have a buddy who likes to target you despite you following these guidelines, then enlist the help of others or find a way so that you're a less appealing hit.
7. Spend too much on upkeep
Upkeep is a tricky thing, the more you put into the more powerful weapons and vehicles, the better off you'll be in fights, but the money per turn can add up over time. Be careful so that if you do have a high upkeep, you also have a high income to balance it out. It's a lot easier to build up your city then stockpile, as opposed to stocking up and then building your city. Also it is better to buy a large amount of the weaker weapons (hint: larger mob) than a small amount of powerful ones. (General rule of thumb I've heard is that upkeep should be 10% or less of your total income)
8. Buy yachts and cargo planes!
Plural yachts = always bad. One yacht = alright IF you use the drug smuggling by sea job. Otherwise they are effectively useless. Having more than one yacht or just one yacht you don't lose is wasting good money. The addition of Cargo Planes is a similar concept as well, if you're going to do the job, get them, if not, don't waste the massive upkeep.
9. Stay at levels before gaining new weapons
You may not think too much about it, but certain levels are better skipped through than others. For example around level 24, you can get attacked by other mobs who have SWAT Bearcats but you can't get them yourself! Try to avoid these situations by leveling up and you will be less likely to be in such lopsided fights.
Other levels to watch out for: 14 (Armored Truck and Grenade Launcher at 15), 18-19 (Body Armor at 20), Early 30s (Turret-Armed Humvee at 35) Early 40s (Cheytac .408 and Tactical Armor at 45)
10. Forget about stamina
Stamina is a very important stat, and while it is more used in later levels, everyone can benefit from being smart with their stam. Don't spend too many points in stamina, it should always be significantly lower than the other stats, but don't neglect it completely. Especially when you want to level up and do some serious damage, stamina can be your best friend. It's more efficient to do five sets of 20 damage than three sets of 30, plus if you're gaining money, that's five chances to steal some green instead of three.
11. Stack up energy
The best job for experience per energy point is Drug Dealing which you can do with the default amount of energy (10 energy for 15 xp). There is no reason to have over 40 energy, and you only want to have 30 energy for the Great Train Robbery and 40 for the Drug Smuggling by Air (When you can afford the cargo planes). In my opinion any amount of energy in between those numbers is inefficient and the only time you should have them is when you're saving up for 30 or 40. It is a much better idea to put those points into attack, defense or stamina for fighting, because hands down fighting gives the best xp overall.
12. Attack first, ask questions later
Whether it's hitlisting or fighting the old fashioned way, taking the time to look at your victim never hurts. For hitlisting - simply check the bounty amount before attacking because time is important. If it's a low bounty chances are better that it's a low level player and the same goes for high bounties and high level players. Make sure you can do some damage before attacking out of the blue. For regular fighting - you can win 99% of these fights by picking mobs you know you can beat. But take into account that the closer the fight, the more xp you get.
13. Waste your Godfather points
It may seem worth it to put your Godfather points into cash or hired guns, but in the long run becoming a Godfather insider for a month pays off big time. Unless you're actually doing the offers (which I recommend against) or buying Godfather points (where buying hired guns on top of being an insider is smart), you should save up for the insider and use its benefits. 100 points may seem far off, but you get insider for an entire month.
14. Take information at face value
This tip is more of a generalization than others here. Basically if this guide or this pro tells you something, consider your position and their bias. If you see a guide that recommends you to keep defense low but you want to be a well rounded player, remember that the guide writer is probably not concerned with losing fights or dying as much as you may be. It may be complicated, but reading in between the lines and applying the information to your situation will pay off.
15. Ignore the new updates
Mobwars is a growing game, and if you don't pay attention you are bound to fall behind. The developers frequently update the game changing the mechanics of the game, adding new content and making tweaks here and there. Try to use updates to your advantage so you have a leg up on the competition when they are released. Easy example is that when a new weapon comes out, at the beginning very few will have them hence making it a good opportunity to stock up and go on the offensive.
16. Worry about not playing enough
If there's one thing I've learned, it's that mobwars is flexible. You skip out on MW for a couple weeks and you'll have a ton of cash waiting around when you get back, or you can play for a couple hours straight and lose a lot of fights and get frustrated. Ya win some, ya lose some.

Mob Wars starter guide...
1st of all...
If you have just started and got not to much to lose, (smaller mob then a 100, not to much income) and if you haven't chosen tycoon, restart your game and choose tycoon.
Add as many people as you can find to your mob (you can remove them from friend list and they stay on your mob).
Make sure that all of them has Colt 1911s.
If you still got money left, add more mobs and give them more colts.
You can find people on the links below...
MobWars wall
"Add me" threads
Facebook Search of "MobWars" and add yourself to the groups involved.
You can check for a person if he is already in your mob with the facebook mob id search engine for firefox
The most important part is NEVER ADD ENERGY!!!
For the 1st 3 -4 levels it is so hard to find some reach mobs but you still can find them.
When you're in the fight section dont just hit the attack button, search for a much smaller than yours and click on the name.
Check that he have been playing for at least 25 days.
Check that his hitlist price is at least 10 millions (this will make sure his income is at least a million per hour)
These guys probably dont deposit their money in the bank because it's cheaper to hold it and lose on fights. So you will gain most of the time 70k per attack.
Remember Small Damage = Small Amount of EXP = Slow Leveling
Go on like this until you make 2 millions a turn.
Always deposit your money in the bank.
This is about the boss options and these are very important...
Until Level 8 --> 1 stamina 1 attack
Level 8 - 15 --> 2 attack 1 defence
Now you should have 8 stamina , 7 defence, 14 attack
Level 15 - 25 --> 2 attack, 1 helath
You should have 8 stamina , 7 defence, 34 attack, 200 health
From this point it depends on you.
After Level 4
NEVER DO JOBS!!!! (You get low money for so many exp points which will high level you too fast)
(when your level gets high in the future you can do jobs then. But not for now)
Gain enough money and buy 10 city blocks
Now buy 10 appartments
Now do the same for hotels
Keep doing it and keep getting more people and keep giving them colts
(It is cheaper to invite 4 people and give them colts which will add 2 attacks each, from buying 1 assault rifle which will only add you 6 attack points! (instead of 8))
Get a big mob, keep buying from the city , keep remaining low level.
When you gain enough money from the city it is time to move away from colts to assault rifles (the best weapon which doesn't cost any upkeep) and also buy yourself bullet proof vests.
After you bought 20 hotels and 20 apps
Buy 20 restaurants and 20 villas
This is the time you should go to the toolkit section and find yourself the mobwars xls sheet of your choice, there are couple of and they are all good and they all do the same thing at the end.
Calculate the best ratio for investment, which means best money in lowest time.
I chose one and added data to it after the turns lost after you buy which will take all your income from all your same investment to gain for the next one. You can download it here
The original was written by LordKeebs and can be downloaded here
A new calcuator which will make your job way easier which is Created By: x LB x ReBoRn and added by Jilljoker. You can download it here
Another great calculator which you can use in your browser and dont need excel . (it saves yr setting and buys in a 45 day cookie) Created by renegade_in_me
Now your goal is to buy offices and other stuff depends on the ratio.
You should be around level 13 - 14 and this is preety good.
Now you don't buy at 10s
you buy at 1s (offices and more expensive stuff for now, but for cheap stuff like apps /hotels you still at 10s)
This is because of the inflation / income you gain. It's actually faster to buy at 1s and not at 10s - the expensive items (because of the inflation wings will cost you more, and there is a point you should buy at 10s but this is still couple of weeks away from you.)
Note: you should buy at 10s only when the time to gain one is less then the lost time which will be for:
Villa 3.333 turns
Restaurant 4.286 turns
Apartment 4.000 turns
Hotel 4.000 turns
Marina 10.000 turns
Office 10.667 turns
Beachfront Hotel 10.000 turns
Casino 13.333 turns
Note number 2: With the new calculator you don't actually need to check it. It does it for you and tells how many of which you have to buy.
Also when it is time for you to buy at 10s use your cash wisely and play with it on the undeveloped lands. If you buy undeveloped lands at 10s and sell them at 10s you won't lose any money (works only for the 1st 10s of each undeveloped land), meanwhile you can gain more money from them and make your turn period shorther.
Note: Never try to hit bounties until you level 12-13 with 200 assult rifles and 200 vests and enough boss attack points. You just lose and make no damage almost at all. Just keep to the fight section and search for rich ones on your level.
I would recommend you to wait till level 15 so you don't waste your time and stamina on nothing. So it's not time to relax yet...
After you are level 15 (150 more exp points to level 16) you should relax and don't attack other mobs on the fight section, just try the bounty hunts - and gain millions .
(You should have by now 501 mob size, 501 assult rifles, 501 vests, you can also buy 501 ford crowns which cost 20$ upkeep each which is not much). Probably you lose a lot but can still heal yourself and attack again till you kill and gain the millions, also you win a lot and doesn't that make you feel great about yourself ?!?
After you reach 10mil/hr (25 days or less - depends on your success on bounties)
Equip your mob full!!! With the best weapons!
Don't buy them after each income
Wait to gain 300 mil (This will make it faster by not paying the upkeep) and only then buy 501 granade launchers for 100 mils.
501 armored trucks for 200 mils
Now you can gain some bounty hunts for easy!
Now you might want to level up little faster - but still not too fast cause you want to make it to level 30 with at least 50 mil / 54 minutes.
So you can still easily hitlist whoever you wish
After the time youll reach level 30
Kill whoever you can on the fight section and add whoever you wish to the hitlist!
Do which jobs you find interesting. (Still don't add more then 30 energy)
Your goal is to be on made man list - best killer / tycoon or whatever your goal is
Remember until you are level 30
Never add energy
Never do jobs
If you have just started and got not to much to lose, (smaller mob then a 100, not to much income) and if you haven't chosen tycoon, restart your game and choose tycoon.
Add as many people as you can find to your mob (you can remove them from friend list and they stay on your mob).
Make sure that all of them has Colt 1911s.
If you still got money left, add more mobs and give them more colts.
