To become president in BitLife, you’ll need to complete the following steps:

  1. Purchase Bitizenship: Becoming President in BitLife is locked behind BitLife’s premium content. You can buy Bitizenship for a one-time fee of $4.99.
  2. Become a US citizen: Your character needs to be a US citizen. If they didn’t get this when they were born, you’ll want to reroll until you do to save yourself the trouble.
  3. Create a character with high Looks and Smarts: Your character must have high Looks and Smarts. These traits heavily impact your character’s chances of being elected BitLife President, and you should aim to be as popular as you can.
  4. Become well-known: Speaking of popularity, you also need to be well-known. One of the paths to make this happen is to be big on social media.
  5. Enter university: It goes without saying that you should enroll in Political Sciences, and if not, then Law or Business should do fine. After all, you will need money for the campaigns.
  6. Earn money: You’ll need a minimum of $10,000 for your campaigns to even start running for President. But honestly, a million dollars would be a better bet and would cover a lot of costs. Some players say $80 million to $200 million will give you your best shot. Regardless, the more money, the better.
  7. Be 35 years old: Your character must be “of age” to become President. Like in real life, you need to be at least 35 years old before you can become President in BitLife.
  8. Be politically active: You simply NEED to be politically active as soon as possible. Try to undertake every possible political function that you can get your hands on, even if your first one is being a School Board Director (Principal). If you aren’t successful in getting into the elections, just restart your game because it’s chance-based. You might also find it helpful to run for Mayor or Senate beforehand as it will serve to establish your political career better, and you would more naturally progress to the role of President.
  9. Manage your campaign: Once your campaign starts, you will have a couple of indicators if you are doing well or not. This is very important as you want to do everything in your power to win the hearts and minds of your potential voters.
  10. Be good: Do not break the law or get in any trouble. Your past can and will haunt you.
  11. Be healthy: Do not allow yourself to lose Health and to have increased Stress, it might lead to your downfall.
  12. Be socially active: Be a guest on talk shows and podcasts, do commercials, hold speeches, or marry a member of royalty to boost your chances.
  13. If you don’t succeed, try again: If your campaign is good enough, you’ll become President in BitLife. But if you don’t get elected, you can try again as long as your character isn’t too old. You may also want to consider just beginning anew for a fresh start.
