1. Sell fruit

One of the easiest ways to make Animal Crossing bells in New Horizons is to sell the fruit on the tree of your island, including apples, pears, oranges, cherries, and peaches. A single fruit grows on your island can be sold for 100 bells, while a fruit collected from other islands can sell for 500 bells. How to sell fruit? First, find the tree, use the tool ladder to climb trees and pick fruits, then put in your pocket. Last, sell them in the store. 

In addition, the perfect variants with golden luster from native fruit trees can make you earn 600 bells one piece. Non-native perfect fruit from other islands even gives you 3000 bells a piece. But it’s difficult to get.

2. Sell fish and bugs

There are lots of money making ways that we have mentioned above in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, how to maximize the profits, or make a ton of ACNH bells in the shortest time?

If you can’t go to the store easily, it’s recommended to release any bugs or fishes that are not worth a lot, such as sea bass, dabs, instead, you should try to fill your pockets with red snappers or other rare fish in season. For bug catching, you should try to ignore common butterflies, in favor of emperor butterflies, peacock butterflies and tarantulas, those are more valuable. But these insects are not available all year, you’d better keep an eye out for expensive fish and bugs, then catch and sell them to Nooklings. If you're struggling to find fish you can also dig up Manila clams on the beach and craft fish bay you can use fish bait to spawn a fish near you, once you have a decent amount of rare fish in your pockets you can sell them at Nook's cranny. 

You can visit a random unexplored island, most of these islands have higher spawn rates for bugs and fish. On rare islands, you can also occasionally find an island covered in money rocks or crawling with tarantulas. The suggestion is to clear your pockets of everything except the essential items before you leave for an island, so you can carry as much home with you as possible and get a bigger payout. If you have enough Nook Miles, you can visit multiple times. You may come across non-native fruit, you can sell it for 500 bells or plant it, once the fruit tree grows, you’ll be able to sell more foreign fruits. You can also bury money in glowing spots which should sprout money trees, there's one glowing spot per day and the tree that grows will likely produce bags of money once when it's grown.
