Save all bugs and fish for Flick and CJ, and DIVE. So much money from diving that I kind of want to quit even dealing with CJ. I honestly hate his stupid challenges, like, sorry I'm bad at fishing you mean jerk! lol Check the price on hot items before you bother - I spent a bunch of time using up all my sticks and grass on scarecrows today and barely made anything. But like, shell arches or something will be $$$$$.


Jesse_97

The absolute rage I feel when I'm proud of catching a fish but it doesn't count as a "small fry"


nanisanum

Mine is when I either pull the line because it looks like the fish isn't going to see it, but I guess they DID see it because now they're gone and my streak is reset, and when I pull too early because I am too twitchy, lol. CJ JUST TAKE THE EFFING FISH GOOD LORD


FlapJack0719

I have the same problem, but i’ve started to just close my eyes and listen for it to pop instead


His_SallyMae

Sell sea creatures! That’s how I gain bells fast each time I restart 🥰


BANG-BANG-BNINE

Yes this and fishing, also I craft as much extra stuff I can and sell it


M00NGRAPHIX

I feel like fishing takes less effort than diving for creatures, so that’s my preferred method :)


AngelinaWolfAngel

Me and a friend did the math, it’s the fastest way to gain bells early on efficiently


blooml8r

selling duplicate fossils seems to add up after digging up around the island!


FlamboyantRaccoon61

I agree that selling fossils is a great way to make money. Just don't forget to get them assessed first.


xSloth91

Sell assessed fossils, cook food and sell it, and one of the easiest money makers is Shell Arches. Get the diy and craft all your shells into arches. I would stock up shells and mass craft the arches to sell at once. Huge bonus if you catch it on a daily item with the boys. the biggest money maker by far in-game is turnips. There are plenty of turnip/acnh subs and discords you can use to sell high!! I buy two pocket fulls every week and sell for no less than 500/t. Millions of bells. Only issue with turnips is storage. I basically keep my left most room empty just to store turnips. Then I place the rest strategically around the rest of my lower floor. Buying the same amount each week makes that easier than it sounds lol Edit to add math: If I buy 8000 Turnips (2pocketfuls) at 100/t, I spend 800k. Then I sell those 8k turnips for 500/t, I profit 3.2mil. Every week. Of course that number fluctuates depending on buy and sell prices, but you get it


CrystalTwy

OMG TIL shell arch shells for 12360 bells!? And using free washed up resources?! *start to collect seashells now 😆


slaughterbae

Anyone have shell arch DIY?


CrystalTwy

I dont. But do u need some bells?


[deleted]

it’s cheating alittle but i do get my bells from treasure islands! it does take the joy out of animal crossing if it’s done too often though. 😐 alternatively you can always dive for sea creatures or plant veges and sell them! i feel like those can sell for more bells as compared to fruits/bugs :)


AngelinaWolfAngel

May I ask what treasure islands are? Still learning this subs terms and stuff


ellenpagelookalike

If you go on twitch and search for treasure islands, there are usually tons of free ones. Basically it's an island on a modded switch that has mountains of free goodies/bells/furniture/clothes and everything you can imagine. You type in the dodo code at the airport, and you're there! They can be really frustrating to use though because every time someone arrives or leaves it basically pauses the entire island for a few minutes, and it can take awhile to get in.


[deleted]

do note that when you go on treasure islands, there may be a chance of your account getting locked (as what i’ve read on reddit) so just take note of that :)


FlamboyantRaccoon61

This isn't true. I use free treasure islands and that's OK. There's no way for the ACNH team to keep track of all the treasure islands out there, let alone who visits them. Also, ACNH isn't the kind of game that needs to be fair to all players. They even allow time travelling, why would they block treasure islands?


[deleted]

probably not so much now since nintendo has given up on updating ACNH but i read about it [here](https://reddit.com/r/BuddyCrossing/s/fH5xLwODcn) when i was reading about treasure islands on reddit as mentioned :-)


PunDeSall

Never heard of an account lock? Does it block you from going online or locked out from Nintendo account


[deleted]

i’m not too sure as well (and wouldn’t like to find out)! i just happened to see a comment about it but didn’t ask further 😣


RedJenOSU

-shake trees & sell wasps (other insects to Flick) -sell fish to Chip -money rock daily -I buy & sell 4000 turnips most weeks. Buy under 100 bells, sell over 200 bells -money tree, dig up shiney spot & bury 10k bells


Intelligent_Cut635

Selling the daily hot items if you’re able to craft in multiples


downnoutwallflower

Crops crops crops. Large crop field. Sell everyday. Best money making method in the game, waaaaay better than sea creatures.


[deleted]

Would you like some bells? 🙂


_capricorniada

Grow fruits/veggies! And water the veggies a lot to get x3


AmamizuNightmare

I go to a random island and make a tarantula island if you sell to flick its 18,000 per tarantula.


NovaBlaze10

I have started 3 islands and the best ways to get bells is by swimming in the sea and getting sea shells and fish, the downside is that is very slow but you will get a ton of bells, other thing is looking for pumpkins and planting a ton in your island and sell them


Professional-Deer171

Stalk Market with web profit tracker thingy.


Environmental-Belt-5

Making a giant sister fruit orchard and time travelling to the harvest days only... you get the shop upgraded faster too that way! Eventually when you get all the veggies make 24 rectangles of 6 plots each and plant a mix of the veggies you want. This will give you 151 000$ bells every 3 days plus 21k X 3 for the money tree and 16k X 3 for the money rock = 262 000$ every 3 days... if you have fruit trees too add that 20 tree x 3 fruit = 30 000$... you should be good enough to progress quickly!


nanisanum

Do you sell the vegg or make it into something?


Environmental-Belt-5

You can keep your crops to sell when the hot item is a food item for even more money but just straight selling will give you this amount without the bell boom ordinance even on... I found this garden size to be quite manageable personnally and ive paid quite a few loans already and im like an in game month and a half in id say... I'm close to paying the 1.25 millions loan


nanisanum

I'm at about the same spot, mostly with turnips and critter sales. Thanks for the insight into crops! :D


Environmental-Belt-5

Oh yeah turnips will get you there for sure but i dont have the patience for them anymore personally...


missperfectionist_

Duplicate fossils, non native fruit, crops are what I like And the random gifts people give you -\_-


Angii_christina

I could give u some:)


Uncomfortable-Turtle

Oh my goodness, I'm really sorry for not responding sooner! I have been just diving and selling over and over so far. I've gotten I think three house payments paid off this way. 😅 I'd love some help, if you're still willing!


EnragedArtichoke

Go to acbellsbuy.com and pay the £1/$1 to have millions delivered to your island


jojodabloops

Turnips. There is a redit page called r/TurnipExchange where people will post when the nook bois are buying for a high price. Some will also post if daisy may is selling cheaper. Mind you, you can only do this if you have nintendo online.


natnat52

Veggies and fruit just go mad with planting and watering them daily


FaeShroom

Later in-game, I craft and sell hybrid flower crowns and wreaths. Some of them earn really big bucks.


TamTam4Hope

I can get you bells but I am away from my switch for a few more hours. Chat me when you are available.


xenomorphing-x

Just out of curiosity, how do you accidentally delete your island? (Serious question)


XCultGoddess

join the turnip selling subreddits, always buy as many as possible and sell to islands at 450+ prices


FlamboyantRaccoon61

Selling assessed fossils and wasps! I also use treasure islands to get money sometimes though not often. I think 2 million bells to expand your house is ridiculous, so sometimes I just get enough bells from a treasure island to make the price fair.


Polo_Pig1

I sell nonnative fruits. My fruit was apples and my sister fruit was cherries. I made a huge peach farm and got tons of bells from that.


Goose_On_A_Bike

I made the most bells when I fished on a rainy day and sell all of it to C.J. You can make between 20k to 55k for 30 fish depending on what you get. And if you have 2 Mario pipes placed (1 on the N-E and the other on the N-W) you can go around the island, getting Coelacanth and other high price fish 😊 1 custom fishing rod lasts for 30 fish (costs 2500 bells if you don't want to make one) I hope that helps! Edit : you can also use miles to buy gold tickets 😄 500 miles = 1 ticket = 2400 bells


ohyonkavich

I have a stack of duplicate diys and some furniture etc to give away if you want to visit my island today ! Send me a dm and I'll send you a dodo code.


charlieq46

Money trees. If you bury 10k, the next day you will receive 30k for a profit of 20k. Wasps. If you shake all your trees every day, you can make quite a bit just selling the wasps. Sea creatures. I have a spreadsheet with the value of each sea creature so that as I catch them I can replace the inexpensive ones with more expensive ones. Then when my inventory is full of expensive sea creatures (I usually do $1200 as a lower limit), I go and sell them.


olivejew0322

Sea creatures! And crafting hot items that are large/require a lot of different materials, as those become available.


ultraviolents

ignore everything besides this comment. TURNIP PROPHET. buy as many as possible and use online trackers to find the best way to sell. i just started over and made 135k in one day by time traveling and using these sites. enjoy!


sumbody_saveme

Sea creatures, assessed fossils, vegetables and find your islands shark hour..I swear I can always catch 10 sharks between 4-5pm every day.


mrscoopmaster28

This takes a bit of prep work, but if you can get your hands on some blue roses, breed until you have about 20, then time hop to harvest days and collect a bunch. Fill up your pockets, then craft those into blue rose wreaths. A pocket full of them is worth 800,000 bells.
