What is your preferred method of making bells?

[Bueller]

Probably the Stalk Market. My fiance plays, and I have an alternate village on my JPN 3DS so I can very easily profit from turnips every week.

 

[Symphonics]

I actually prefer selling fossils and daily items you get from your villagers.
I don't really have the patience for hunting down expensive fish and bugs, so just limiting myself to the fossils and random little things allows me to spend time with my villagers

I opened up a cycling town last month because I got my hands on an extra game. But I keep the bells I've earned in that town, and I only take it when needed (i.e. I want to buy something from someone else). So I don't really consider my cycling town as a method of "income".

I mostly just catch beetles on the island. Turnips are too much work for me because I always forget about them.

 

[Idfldnsndt]

I catch the beetles and sharks on the island and also sell the fossils

 

[Late Night Thoughts]

Selling turnips or hunting for bugs on the island.

 

[charade501]

Turnips are definitely the best for me. I hunted bugs and fish on the island for quite a long time before I realized the wonders of the stalk market.. once you've got the community of reddit and bell tree, you profit basically infinitely.

Defiantly going to the island to make my bells.

 

[Diancie]

The Island is definitely the best option. You can make a lot of bells for certain insects!

I like selling fossils and all of the foreign fruit in my town. I should probably start going to the island more, that would probably be a lot faster!

Depending on when I started the game and how far I'm into it, I may use the seashell trick (sell all seashells, save, quit, restart, repeat). When I get a foreign fruit, I then plant as many as I can, then sell those. Then, I'll move onto fish and bugs. New Leaf made it insanely easier with the island and beetle farming. Turnips I'll do every so often when I feel like it, I rarely do them.

 

[dudeabides]

I don't go to the island very often, once a month maybe. I get all the bells I need from hitting rocks and selling things I find in town.

 

[Loveablegal]

Island for me too I think it's the best way to make bells in my opinion.

Bell trees

Going to the island to catch bugs and fish for sharks.
The most fun way though is harvesting foreign fruit and perfect fruit! ^_^ Cha-CHING!
I haven't used the Stalk Market ever since WildWorld so idk when I'll try it again.

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned the rock method yet! Sure, it does take long, but if you need a small top up of cash and you're lucky, go ahead and hit some rocks with your shovel! I also sell duplicate things in retail, even better if the items I have are on the 'Pay Extra For' list.

 

[nerdatheart9490]

Selling tbt, because I'm lazy. If I don't do that, I do the island. Got to love how much bugs and sharks sell for.

 

[Mellyjan3]

I go to the island. I've never really made money any other way besides selling my stuff on here, which has actually turned out to be kind of a bad thing cause TBT has taken priority over in-game bells haha.

 

[ChibiLion]

I usually like to sell all the fruit from the various fruit trees planted around my town @_@ it takes quite a while, but I guess I get a nice amount of money from it, I usually hit the money rocks too! Because those are fun :3
I also just sell the fossils I don't need and random stuff I find to retail daily... (Like the stuff my villagers give back to me )

Same for me, but if this is in the long term, all my bells are made on this site

 

[illuminati]

I do rare beetle catching and fossil selling (after I fill the museum, of course.) But my favorite actually has to be the stalk market. I think it's super cute and I've gotten it down to where I can predict the patterns for the following week based on the last. Plus, it's more efficient and less time consuming, in my opinion! I spend quite a while catching beetles just for 200,000 while I could spend 500k on turnips and get back 1mil if it's a good week.
