It's crazy how all these players have millions and millions of Bells that they can afford to spend on auctions and dreamies.

I honestly am not even close to having enough to pay off my house or build my town theme and buy my dreamies in the process.

How do these people -or you yourself- get all of these bells so quickly and easily?

Selling villagers made me a lot of money, but I know a lot of people are involved in the turnip trade (I kinda like that, it's catchy!)

For example,
Buy 500 turnips
Look for somebody whose retail is buying them for 500bells +
Make a profit
 
sell valuable/rare things

turnips

island bug catching

sell tbt bells

probably 4 of the biggest things people will mention in some form or another
 
Selling and buying turnips at a high price.
For example, my Joan had turnips for 100 bells each. I bought an entire locker full for about 2 million.
I posted on the "Official Turnip Prices Thread" in the Train Station board. Iea had turnips for 612 bells each. I sold them, and got like a 8 million+ profit. It does require a lot of bells to get started, but in the end you end up with a lot more :)
 
UGH I frickin hate turnips, but, they are the easiest way to make money.
Edit: Not easiest, best.

For me, I used to catch the island bugs for bells, but my biggest cash crop is my art shop. If you have a talent like art or signature making skills or general graphic design capabilities, why not open a shop?
 
Use the turnip market, I 99% guarantee you that someone here will have a high price during the week.
 
Turnips for sure, and in my second town where I TT and spoil turnips -__- I make millions of bells by planting/regularly harvesting my perfect cherries then selling them in a town where they are non native & on premium.
 
Growing your own perfect fruit, then selling them at a player's town who has them on premium at retail and it's not their native fruit or buy turnips from joan then sell them at another player's town if they are going for 500+ bells. Turnips spoil after a week though so you gotta be careful.
 
Turnips and Beetle hunting seem to be the dominate ways.

Someone who breeds a lot of hybrids could also make a decent amount of money by making a shop. c:
 
I really don't understand beetle hunting. It's so so so so tedious and it's slower money than other methods that take alot less work. I did it for about a week when I first unlocked the island but never went back to that since I switched to turnips/ perfect fruit.

That's exactly how I feel. I did the island hunting thing for a few weeks and then got so sick of it. Of course, turnips can be pretty tedious too. Going back and forth between Re-Tail and the train station is just... Ugh. x-x
 
Selling turnips and hunting beetle(at my very early stage) helps alot!=D
 
At this point I just sell perfect apples, planning on getting on the turnip scene again this Sunday though.
 
For me it's turnips :) it can get tedious especially if you're like me and sell closets full of turnips
 
I stick to beetle hunting since I use the Re-Tail board very frequently, which involves the use of TTing. Lots and lots of TTing. I've accumulated 10.6m this way, and I don't have any interest switching to turnips anytime soon. Sure, maybe I'll buy 1000 turnips one Sunday if I feel like it, but most likely I never will.

This. This is how you bring in the bells :D
 
Perfect Fruit Farming, selling to someone who has your perfect fruit on premium and does NOT have the same native fruit as you do. Each inventory full of baskets (16 Baskets x 9 perfect fruit in each basket) can net you 864k per inventory full of premium perfect fruit. Beetle Island is great for starting out, past 6 or 7 look on palm trees. A lot of good selling bugs there for you to catch :p . Turnips are also another great way to make bells. People will post when they have premium perfect fruits/good turnip prices here and there, so check out the ACNL Train Station section when you need to sell perfect fruit/turnips at high prices.

I used to only do beetle hunting which got me around 400k a trip to the island, but then I discovered that there's usually someone on the forums whose turnip prices are 500+. The first time I tried it (this week) I gained 2 million bells :o so so so TURNIPS, definitely. On the other days I just hunt for beetles ^^
