1. Turnips
Turnips are your best friend in the game because they are the key to making a lot of money. These are not the fastest ways to create bells, if you play the game the way it was. Playing this way, it only takes a week or less to watch out for a really good turnip prize. This is because they are rotten and Daisy mae is coming back so you can buy more. Or if you are not patient, use the turnip exchange site to queue up to buy and sell those turnips. Check out our article on how the rod market works. Buying a pocket of turnips at 100 bells each, then reselling them for more than 500 bells, will net you roughly a little over 2 bells. This is how you make a profit!
2. Insects and fish
CJ and Flick will be coming to visit your island from time to time, this is a great opportunity for you to sell some fish or insects that you have collected in the last week. They will both offer to buy the fish / bugs for 150% more than their usual value. The rarer the fish or insect, the higher the price. For example, Flick will buy you Scorpions for 12 bells, while Timmy and Tommy will buy them for 000. That being said, keep your hands on any rare fish and bugs you come across as they can be a big payoff plus late. Specific islands in Nook Mile allow rare fish / insects to breed, so your chances of making big bucks are even higher if you find yourself on just one.
Many Animal Crossing: New Horizons fans have thought that if you go to a mysterious island that is completely flat and has no rivers, you could create a Tarantula or a Scorpion Island. By getting rid of all the trees, bamboo, weeds, rocks, and flowers, you have eliminated many common spawning insects. If you dig an L shape and run around the island with your net you can trap tarantulas / scorpions and catch them easily.
3. Sell to Timmy and Tommy
Stopping in at Nook Crannys and selling whatever you no longer need is a quick way to make Bells. The rarer the item, the more bells you will get. Nook Cranny has a “what's hot today” service, this is where you craft items and they will buy those items for an extra charge. This not only helps you make bells, but also eliminates any extra material you don't need.
4. Allow other people to visit your island
When a specific NPC character visits your island, you can use the Turnip Exchange site to safely open your island to other players. This allows you to charge an entrance fee, it can be as much or as little as you want. You can also ask for advice. This website can also be used to host your island if you have a high turnip price. The higher the price, the more popular your island will be! Some players are willing to wait in a long queue just to come visit your Timmy and Tommy to sell their turnips.
