However, just like in the real world, the path to the presidency in Bitlife isn’t a simple sprint to the finish line. You can’t just wake up one day and declare yourself a candidate for the highest office in the land. Instead, you’ll need to embark on a carefully planned political career, starting from the ground up and gradually climbing the ranks of power.

  6. Progress to higher offices such as mayor or state governor
  7. Maintain a positive public image and high approval ratings in each role
  8. Engage in public speaking and community outreach to boost your profile
  9. Wait until you’re at least 35 years old before running for president

What is the best way to become president in Bitlife?

The best way to become a president in Bitlife is by strategizing your way to the top. You may even need a bit of luck, but many experienced Bitlife players shared their experiences to reduce that chance factor to the lowest.

While you don’t need to be a billionaire, having a hefty 80-200 million campaign fund can significantly boost your chances. But money isn’t everything—your health matters, too. Keep your character in tip-top shape, including your looks, as certain medical conditions can throw a wrench in your campaign plans. Time management is crucial once you’re in the office. Try to balance your efforts across all your responsibilities equally. As you climb the political ladder, aim for two terms each as mayor and governor before setting your sights on the big prize, most likely in your mid-50s.

Don’t underestimate the power of social media in the digital age. You don’t have to be famous right out the gate, but cultivate a strong online presence and get verified on all platforms. And while you’re at it, cultivate a network of 30-40 friends—it’s not just about who you know, but how well you maintain those relationships. When it comes to campaign strategy, some players suggest different approaches based on your ethical stance. Treat everyone with respect if you’re going for a “good” character and build good karma. If you’re playing a more cutthroat politician, well, all’s fair in love and politics, right?
