I'm so addicted to poupee right now, it's not even funny. Anyway here are some poupee strategies!! Some were already mentioned by icey but I'll put them in one place
How to make ribbons+ You start with more ribbons if you let a
friend invite you to poupee instead of registering by yourself. The person who invited you gets a 30 ribbon bonus as well, so it's beneficial to both!
+ When you start gaming, you get ribbon bonuses for the first dress-up, the first time you edit profile, etc. Just try out everything in your home once.
+ You get ribbons for
posting items to your closet. Three most important rules: 1) the pics must be fashion-related items or dolls/stuffed animals/plushies, 2) no faces should be visible in the pics, 3) the items should be your own. If for some reason you upload someone else's items (like mom or friend), don't mention it in the description
+ It's not wise to post more than 3 or 5 photos a day because you stop getting as many ribbons.
+
Comment on other poupees' items! There are three reset times each day, after which you can make 20 comments that earn you ribbons. So you can make max 60 ribbons a day by commenting, but it takes some dedication LOL
Here's a useful reset time list from

+ If you have posted items, that will also make it easier for you to earn more ribbons because people whose items you have commented may repay the favour. Ideally if everyone repaid the favour, you could get 120 ribbons a day with 60 from your comments and 60 from others... I've never had this ideal situation, though.
+
Selling the poupee clothes and items that you don't like at poupee market.
+
Selling shells. You find shells when you visit different poupee home pages, when the yellow bird comes flying down the shell is on its head (if the bird doesn't fly, there won't be a shell). The chances of finding a shell are increased if you click 'suteki' in the closet for any item and also if you wait a little before checking the poupee home. (It's useful to maybe browse another site to kill some time.) Remember to try refresh once. You can sell shells in poupee market for 2-3 ribbons each.
+ You can always buy ribbons, but nobody is forcing you.
+
Dress up every day! You don't even need to change the outfit, just click snapshot on the dress up page. You get 10 ribbons each day, 10 ribbons bonus for each 10 days, and 100 ribbon bonus if you dress up every day a month.
How to get itemsUploading item photos for closet+ In addition to ribbons, you get an item each time you upload a photo. I've got all my make-up this way, lol. But often you may get ugly items.
Katherine's store+ The store that makes people curse with high ribbon prices, limited releases and lots of cuteness to choose from. Important strategy: Only buy items that you really like! You won't be able to sell them for months to come so make sure you like it. Also, people used to buy Katherine items so that they could later sell them for a high price at poupee market. However, this has been changing recently because there are much more users and thus the items are not really rare anymore when they can be sold. So also because of this, don't buy things if you're unsure :3
+ Katherine shop's present floor: You may buy presents for yourself, but these items can NEVER be sold, so it's not smart to buy many things. Only stuff that you really like.
Poupee Market+ It doesn't really need to be explained how this works, right? You see something that you like and buy it if you have enough ribbons. But there are some strategies for how to get max benefit from poupee market. -->
+ During a major event in Katherine shop (which are not that rare), items at Poupee Market are cheaper because people are desperately selling them to afford the new Katherine items. So if you're not busy saving for an item from Katherine shop, it's worth doing some hunting at Poupee Market instead.
+ The official Katherine items cannot be sold for a few months or six months after the event. This means that there are release dates when certain items become available for selling at poupee market. During this time, these newly released items are cheaper at poupee market because so many people are selling them that they have to lower the price to get someone to buy them. Also in reverse: if in the future you want to sell Katherine items that are being released to the poupee market, don't sell them instantly. Wait until the prices go up again. And don't sell during a major event
Shell spring+ Collect shells from random poupee homes. When you throw 5 into the shell spring, you get an item. Often the items are ugly, but sometimes you get something very nice. Still, if you're unlucky you might consider selling shells instead.
+ If you throw in 5 of the same shells, you get a wallpaper. This might be useful if you want something else than the basic wallpaper in your poupee home.
Poupee amusement: Go Go Piyo balloon game+ Each game costs 30 ribbons. I've only done this once and I felt so cheated afterwards because I misunderstood the rules. This game imo is only for people who have LOTS of ribbons to spare. Like hundreds or thousands. Anyway, the idea is to avoid balloons as long as possible because the higher you get, the rarer items are inside the balloons. (I thought the idea was to break as many balloons as possible to get as many items as possible, so you can only imagine how pissed off I was to get a stupid plain dress from one of the bottom balloons. A dress that is usually around 10 ribbons at poupee market cost me 30 ribbons. Grr)
What are "suteki" for? I guess mostly for ranking your most popular items. Some people get hundreds or thousands of sutekis that end up on a weekly suteki ranking, and they get presents for their ranking. But to make it there your item has to be pretty damn cool and you have to be very popular to get that many people to suteki your item. So in a way sutekis aren't that important unless you're on top of the food chain, but I always click suteki anyway *shrug*
That's most of it
There's a lot to think about if you really get into it. LOL
