Favorite way to make in-game bells?

personally i catch all of the fish and beetles at the island that are worth 8k+ bells at night. it's really easy, and doesn't take too long!
 
I do what many others have- I go to the island to collect the beetles found on palm trees. I keep an eye out for sharks, too. It's the easiest way to make 300,000+ in one night if you've got the patience. It's super handy. :D

I do the same as most of the others. I prefer to go to the island at night and catch the high value beetles and sharks. It's relaxing and can get me around 200,000 to 300,000 in less than 30 minutes.

I have done turnips for the badges, but I personally hate it. They take up too much storage space and then I stress all week long over when to sell. It does earn you a good amount of money for a small amount of effort, but the stress gets to me so once I've gotten the gold badge I stop fooling with turnips.
 
I usually like to take it slow nowadays but I try to find all four fossils each day that I play. Most of the times, I only find one so I fruit pick and fish here and there as well.
 
I used to go to the island to catch beetles and fish. Now I just trade in my meow coupons since it's racked up over time.
 
Gotta agree with others, my favourite is the island. Even catching only a couple while at Club Tortimer gives quite alot with minimal time spent. Hope the new game has something similar to lessen the grind, though maybe not as generous to increase challenge a bit.
 
If I am really in need of bells fast, I will island farm.
If I am looking for something more relaxed, I will exchange my MEOW Coupons or sell perfect fruit.

- Island trips
- Selling fossils
I usually just do the island trips when I'm in the mood to catch a lot of fish, as when I'm in the island I'm usually there a while :)
 
I like to check the premium list for re-tail and sell items I’ve saved up.

The island is an easy choice. Beetles are easy to come by and sharks can be easier to find on the island as well.

Selling extra fossils. Especially if you go through the effort of identifying them first.
 
Beatles on the island. Can make about 230k per trip, which takes maybe 20-30 minutes.

My main hustle is catching bugs and fish on the island after 5PM. It gets me around 300/400K per visit.
Also fun, but not as fast and also a bit of a gamble is the stalk market! I used to get turnips every week and keep track of the prices to predict what was going to happen (with the use of a few game guides), but I don?t play often enough anymore to do that. If you play it right though it can make you a lot of bells!
I also dig out fossils and gyrodites to sell them off, and also sell off any unwanted items and flowers whenever I can.
 
Perfect fruit, turnips, catching beetles and emperor butterflies along with fishing up sharks and sunfish on the island. However, if I had to pick only one method, it's good old turnips. Me and my friends would make a few million each hour going back and forth between towns, buying and selling turnip. With the rare bugs and fish obtained from the island, I usually keep them stored away until either one is listed for premium at Re-Tail.

I like catching bugs on the Island. It's boring and grindy sometimes, but as long as I'm working towards a purpose, I can handle the tediousness of catching bugs.
