Greetings fellow moneymakers!
What is your money making scheme to get mad bells? Personally I use the after 7 island trick.
(This place is great if you are new and wanna become rich.)
If you don't know how to use it, here is a handy-dandy guide copy and pasted from:

Here's my little guide on beetle farming.
To optimize your island:
Remove all deciduous trees from the center of the island to prevent fruit beetles from spawning.
Trample the flowers to prevent butterflies from spawning, which must be captured to remove.
Remove the hibiscus bushes.
Remove the palm trees facing the southern beach.
Gradually cover the sand in shells to prevent hermit crabs from spawning. To make it easier, sell conches (the blue ones) to Leila so you'll always know that most conches are hermit crabs until you finish.
Once you have finished the first four, you can run around the beach and slowly approach the palm trees from the front of the island. The skittish beetles are far less likely to flee if you approach them from behind. They have a great cone of vision to their sides.
Advice based on beetle type:
For goliath beetles (the large red ones) and cyclommatus stags (the ones that have huge mandibles), you don't even need to creep up on them. Just walk up behind and snag them.
For atlases (the large black ones) and horned elephants (the large gold ones), you will need to creep (hold A). Swing your net when you are 1? spaces behind the tree.
For golden stags (the small gold/black ones) and horned Hercules (the large gold/black ones), you will need to creep and barely tilt the circle pad. These two are very skittish, so you will need to swing your net at the earliest possible moment at which you can catch them.
I usually use the lines in the sand to determine when to swing, usually when approaching the second line in front of a given tree.
Bring your fishing rod around at all times. If you see a fin, catch it. Sharks are worth as much as the beetles.
Scare off anything that isn't a palm tree beetle or a shark. You can try to catch long fish, but be prepared to throw back a lot of sea bass.
Beetles can only spawn off-screen, so run to the far edge of the island.
If your inventory fills up, drop your fishing rod (or net if you just caught a shark) and dump everything in the box immediately.
I typically put my threshold at 6,000 bells. Anything worth less than that doesn't come home with me.
So anyways, post the ways you make money here! Have fun and Merry christmas!
