- go for money, and when you buy items, buy the right-most item you can (so always go for bullet upgrades first, if you can't afford it, go for the gun upgrade, and if you can't afford that, go for the boots)
- shoot in the direction you're going when reaching for items close to spawn points
- avoid bombs and tombstones if you can, leave them for emergencies, because they can despawn items/money

sometimes it's RNG and luck, you'll have good runs and you'll have bad runs and you'll die very, very, very much. but you can do it!

Never buy boots unless it's the only thing you can afford and it's late game, level 1 you can camp in a corner and shoot diagonally the whole time, but it reduces coin intake, A sheriff badge is the best item for the inventory in an emergency, shotgun is worthless and should never be risked unless the field is crowded with enemies, same goes for coffee, ALWAYS get an extra life if it's dropped, and you can save and load right before playing JOTPK, so every time you get ready to resume play, make a backup and revert to it if things go bad. Maybe make several as you progress.
 
I have another: Level 1 and 4, go to a corner and shoot diagonally. It decreases coin intake in Level 1, but on Level 4, this happens:

I got an extra life after, and 2 Sheriff badges. You should avoid using nukes in this strategy because it will deplete coin intake and remove any chance of power ups, so don't even pick one up in this level.

Corner strategy works well early on but really gets overwhelmed later into the game, especially when some of the maps really restrict where you can run away to from the corners.

Helpful for world 1 though, though it isn't exactly the most exciting

I agree there, Worlds 2 & 3 have enemies like Butterflies to swarm you from all sides. But useful for W1, certainly.
