At the beginning of the game you are pretty limited by what you can do,
however if you know what you're doing you can start to make quite a few Bells
in a relatively short amount of time. I'll outline some of the basic
strategies and from there, move into the more profitable stuff.
Basics - The most basic way of collecting Bells in this game is by
doing odd jobs for other animals, and collecting seashells and fruit. When
you speak to the animals around town they will want things delivered, or work
done in some fashion. Usually when you finish a task you will be rewarded
with Bells or some kind of material item which can then be used either to
decorate yourself, or be sold to Nook for Bells. Collecting fruit and
seashells are another way to make Bells. Run around the beach picking up all
the seashells that you can. Also run around town shaking every tree. The
ones with fruit on them will drop the fruit which can then be picked up and
sold. Trees with no fruit will periodically drop bags of Bells. Keep up
these small tasks and in time you can start to gather up a decent amount of
money. Below is a chart of the selling prices of all the seashells:

Advanced - Some of the more advanced tips can really help you out too.
The Bell Rock at the very beginning is one of the best ways to make money.
Check out the Miscellaneous Information section for more tips on how to use
it, but suffice to say you can hit that rock for up to 8000 Bells every day.
Also selling turnips on the Nook stock market is a great way to make money.
Once again check out the Turnips part of the Miscellaneous Information section
for more on how to turn those disgusting turnips into cold hard Bells.
Foreign Fruit (Wifi) - Arguably the best way to make money without
cheating, there are two ways you can do this. This is based on the fact that
foreign fruit sells for about five times as much as native fruit (native fruit
means the fruit that grows all over your town.) For example if all your trees
produce Cherries, then Pears will sell for about five times as much at Nooks.
The first way to take advantage of this is through Wifi. Connect to someone
else's town and sell all of the fruit in your town at Nook's shop there for a
huge profit. On your way back make sure to grab some of the foreign fruit
from their trees. After doing this be sure to check out the Foreign Fruit
(No-Wifi) section to figure out how you can make a ton more money still.
Foreign Fruit (No-Wifi) - If you were already able to grab a piece of
foreign fruit from someone else's town this will be easier. If not then
there's still a way to get it. What you need to do is start picking fruit
from your trees. Write a letter to every single person in your town that says
"Here is a fruit gift" or something along those lines. I don't think the
message really matters, but you should add the word "fruit" somewhere anyway.
Attach one piece of native fruit to each letter and then mail them off to the
animals in your town. Check your mail tomorrow and most of them should have
mailed you back with a present. There is a slim chance they will attach a
piece of fruit different from the one you mailed. Personally I mailed five
people and got it on my first try. Once you have this piece of fruit, find a
spot in your town away from all the obstacles and plant the piece of foreign
fruit in the ground using your Shovel. If you got foreign fruit from someone
else's town, then you can just bury that. After a day you will be able to see
if a tree grew. If it did then it will produce three piece of the same
foreign fruit. Plant those fruits and gradually start growing more and more
foreign fruit trees until you have dozens. Every few days these trees will
now produce small fortunes that you can pick and sell to Nook. You can easily
start making tens if not hundreds of thousands of Bells every week.
Time Traveling for Bells - The best method for making the most Bells
in the shortest amount of time, ironically involves Time Traveling. First you
need to have around 50,000 Bells already. Take your 50,000 Bells and put them
into a savings account at the bank then save your game and turn it off. Enter
the DS time settings and move your game forward about 10 years. When you load
your game and check the bank you will have received 99,999 Bells of interest.
Save and turn it off, then move ahead another 10 years for 99,999 Bells of
interest. 99,999 is the maximum number of Bells you can get from interest so
it makes no difference how much money you have in there. Keep doing this over
and over. Your town will literally be ruined with weeds and dead stuff, your
animals will move out but... at least you'll be rich.
In the big scheme of things, all things considered, the "very best" way to
make the most amount of money (talking millions) is probably by getting lucky
with turnip prices. If you can buy a ton of turnips and find a time when Nook
is buying them for big money (talking 500+) then you can rack in the Bells.
