Here is my weekly status and giveaway. I was able to focus a bit more on time this week and it has improved inside the game. There is still a lot of room to improve and I just hope that I don't fall back down next week. Either way, I am happy with my progress over the past week to improve my ranking in Rising Star.
Giveaway
It will be a musician again this week. I got 3 copies of them from my pack openings so I choose this card for the week.
The giveaway item is an R171 Teddy and it has 150 fans, 125 skill, 4 luck, and 3 income modifier. All musicians help quite a bit and it will definitely help the people start unlocking more missions.

Thank you to the rest of the valid participants that did not win but might be interested in the next giveaway: 
I transferred the R167 Diana below. Rising Star wasn't letting me transfer so I had to do it through NFTmart.
Current Status
My earnings this week are 225k starbits. I am quite pleased that I was able to time my missions better this week and my earnings went up as a result. Most of these starbits will go towards the seasonal mission as soon as it unlocks and I am glad that I am able to save more for a chance of a seasonal musician. I haven't been able to get 11 copies of them for making a blended version without buying some off the market.
I got an epic instrument that I did not get before from my pack openings. It's always nice to get some new unique cards as they will help me in the rankings.
Current Stats
Using the discord bot, I got my stats.
Current Ranking
I improved since last week as I added over 1k minutes played and moved up 5 ranks. I was actually above rank 60 yesterday but I got knocked back down. I hope to maintain this or even improve my time played to improve my rank.

Tips (source)
I think the tips are something every new player should know about. It will help people progress in the game and it hasn't really been shared since surya1adiga stopped his giveaways.
- Take music lessons when possible to raise skill and reduce ego.
- Having lesson specific instruments helps in receiving more skill from that lesson.
- Have pizza box to store any pizza received during mission to reuse later.
- Buy cold pizza slice if possible. This gives 1 refill every 24hours. Comes very handy when you are low on energy.
- If you have enough of cold pizza slice and pizza box, you will never run out of energy.
- If you have more fans than skill and you want reduce the ego , you can use a storage trailer to store unnecessary cards. Or you can list the card in market for an unreasonably high price.
- Ego received for a particular mission increases every time you play it. The ego is reset to base level the next day. So, try to play different missions to control the ego gained.
Keep track of your achievements to unlock in game rewards- Buy storage trailer (only if necessary) to keep the cards that might have a negative effect. Like a card with high fan count resulting in ego.
- When earning skill points through music lessons, you can earn more points per lesson if you hold more of specific instrument cards. There seems to be base skill which is rewarded irrespective of the card count and then the skill increases depending on the number of the lesson specific card one has.
- Try taking up many smaller missions to fill up pizza boxes and have extra energy to play more rewarding missions. But you need to have pizza boxes for this to work.
