Bells

Just curious on people's ways on getting bells.
Me, I sell my duplicate fossils, shake trees (i usually stop after I find 2 pieces of furniture), find the daily money rock, sell unwanted snowman furniture, and fish. And every other day I will sell all the fruit from a third of the town. Depending on my initiative I can make as low as 10,000 to as high as roughly 115,000 bells in a day.
So just post ways you make bells and hey, maybe you might learn another way to make more bells! :) Also as a curious person, what was the highest amount you made in one day? I am curious to see how high the digits can get as I know there are many dedicated people here :)
 
I have a bunch of foreign fruit near Nooks. I fish a couple times a day. I do turnips on Sunday (hundreds of thousands of bells spent on them), and now I'm buying items cheap, and burying it all in my town, and charging people to dig it up, if i get the items cheap enough, i make a killing. During my first treasure hunt, I made around 3 million bells
 
Well, before I got my orchard, I fished to my heart's content.
I made around 40-50k in fishing.

Then the orchard came. I stopped fishing and made 80k on my orchard.
I expanded it to provide me with 115k then I just expanded it again, this time, planting a beach full of coconuts and some more peach and apple trees. I don't know how much they're gonna be worth, but I estimate it between 150-185k.
I also make some money on the side by selling stuff here.
 
But I spent over 1 million to set it up, which i earned with turnips. So I profited about 2 million, not shabby lol it was a lot of work though. I'm doing another this weekend, hope to walk away with just as much
 
I make money from turnips, fish, bugs, non native fruit in my town, auctions here on tbt, money rock, shaking trees.
 
What I do is shake all of the trees in town for anything that is there, I fish until my pockets are full, I hit the money rock if my sister doesn't want it, and I sell foreign fruits and coconuts. As for the most I made in a day. It was close to 100k due to my early addiction.
 
I'll be honest, i did time travel a few times 2 weeks ago. I had just recently gotten the game, didnt wanna wait for my orchards to grow so I could start making some money, and I time traveled a few times. I havent done it since, and dont plan on doing it again. Now that I have some cash, I am getting a nice flow of it.
 
you know i've always thought of trying the turnip market but I'm scared I might loose ALOT of money. that's why having many friends registered is always good for that kind of thing. i think i might try the turnip thing again. last time i tried i time traveled back one day after i bought them and they spoiled >_< (and then I was chosen as the HRA model room and my spoiled turnips were there >_< )
 
I usually just fish and sell shells or old items I don't need anymore. Selling fruit seems boring and time consuming.
 
I know you can lose money on turnips, but at the same time you can make a fortune... It's almost like playing the lottery

That and it's also like the stock market. Except your shares expire in a week.
