Okay, I am unable to play mon.-thurs. due to work and busy sh_t. So I'm mainly left with Fri.-Sun.

How do I make money? I see you guys out there, rich as heck donating 100k's and stuff and paying off debts like no other. I can't buy turnips...they'll rot by friday, right? Plus, i don't wanna risk that nook is gonna sell it for a good price on that one day.
So I'm mainly left with foreign fruit...and fish, which produces very little money.

Got any advice?
 
talk to nabors and do jobs for them and get stuff and sell like crazy dont spend chash unless you really want it
 
Turnips go bad AFTER Saturday, I believe. I bought white turnips last Sunday and sold them this Saturday [although at a loss, my stalk market is crashing!].

I do a lot of fishing, but I find it relaxing and I have a lot of spare time [no work because I was laid off and the job market sucks around here]. However, I have found a neat trick to getting things to sell after Nook's has closed.

I buy a bunch of note paper from Nook during the day. Like 3 packs or more. Then I write 2 line letters to my villagers, and attach a present. ANY present will suffice. I used to attach fruits in hopes they'd send me back a foreign fruit [like they used to!]. But I never had any luck with that. Instead, they kept sending me furniture and wallpapers and flooring. So then I started trying sending them seashells as gifts, and they kept sending furniture and stuff in return. So my investment was the cost of the paper plus picking up the cheapest shells off the beach [worth 30 bells if you get the porceletta]. You send out a bunch of letters with cheap shells attached and your villagers will fill your mailbox with furniture you can turn around and sell, sometimes I get several thousands worth of loot from them. I also found out the mail is sent around several times a day, so even if you send letters in the morning, you can get mail back in the afternoon and again in the evening.

This is also a handy method for getting your neighbors to empty out furniture of theirs you want but they have. If a neighbor sends you stuff you don't want or know is not worth much, you can send it to the villager with the furniture you want, and they MIGHT replace something in their house with it, and possibly mail it to you in reply to your present or leave it in the recycling box. I've been sending a lot of 4 square furniture to Olivia in hopes she'd ditch the Regal Armoire, which she finally has, but unfortunately she didn't send it to me [yet] and hasn't put it in the recycling. But she has been sending me a bunch of stuff I can sell otherwise!
 
I made 3 mil cause one of my friends turnip prices were 560 so I changed my day to sunday and bought all I could carry then I went to their town a sold them for 800k each round
 
lol well that's tt-ing...and im not interested in tt-ing

thanks leelu, that was real long and helpful hahha
 
Just fish fish fish! Plant fruit orchards and sell foregin fruit, sell fossils, or just try to get money off of people like some people do here, which I highly don't recommend. Your choice. :p

LOL, well I was pretty surprised the villagers didn't send back crappy presents for the cheap shells. Someone told me today that she sometimes attaches the trash [boots, tires and cans caught while fishing] to letters and sends to her villagers, and they will send her presents. They are all "Thanks for the dirty old boot, here's a table!" Well, of course they don't say it, but that's how it comes off since they are just happy you sent them something.

Thank goodness it's essentially free to send letters!
 
Shaking Trees is actually a great way to earn some extra bells. I got about 5,000 bells on tree shaking alone. Just watch out for the bees. :p

Why buy paper? Take it from Bookers lost and found.

Because the lost and found is hit or miss. Paper is what, 160 bells for a 4 pack if you don't have any discounts? And if you're gonna send more than 4 letters, the chances of more than one pack being in the lost and found are even less. Paying 40 bells per letter and sticking a free sea shell on it to get a sofa to sell for around 500 bells is not bad investment.

But certainly, if there's free paper to be had, all the better. I'm just saying, don't NOT do it just because you'd be buying the paper. You just gotta pay attention when you buy the paper and don't get the expensive stuff for this gig, or the return rate suffers a lot.

Since I took a big advantage of Nook's 5x points days, I get a 10% discount so my paper is only 144 bells, so even better investment for me.

Well, you can't technically make money, that would be counterfiet...

Auction House, Hacking, etc... Although I don't recommend hacking...

saturday is the last day you can sell your turnips. you usually don't lose too much if prices aren't great. if everyone's posts here when their prices are high like they hopefully are, you'll have a better chance of getting a good bargain.
