1. Going to the island- Go to the island and catch lots of sharks and beetles. When you return, sell them in re-tail. You will earn a lot of bells. It can even reach 100,000 
2. selling perfect fruit- In the starting of the game, you will see a perfect fruit in one of the fruit trees. DO NOT SELL it off just yet, that thing's precious. Grow that fruit somewhere and it will grow into a tree which gives perfect fruit. Plant more trees. After that, collect all perfect fruits and sell it at re-tail. You will get 600 bells per fruit. It is better to sell them at another town which has a different native fruit. you get 3,000 bells per fruit like that

When you're a newbie and you see a balloon present floating over town, but do not possess a slingshot, there is still a way to pop it. Depending on which direction the balloon is flying in, it will begin to lower at one point. It will come within range of popping with a net or shovel. It's basic information, but it's also a great way to get special items very early in the game.

Get a shovel ASAP and look for your ore and money rocks. The ore rock is a breakable rock that will respawn every day in your town and can be hit with a shovel so it breaks and releases a piece of ore which can sell from 2,000 to 10,000 Bells (Ruby, Sapphire, Amethyst and Emeralds sell for 2,000. Silver nuggets for 5,000 an d Gold nuggets for 10,000). The money rock will be selected randomly among your town's permanent rocks every day, dig a few holes behind you so you don't bounce back an hit the rock repeatedly until it stops spewing money, you'll get 100, 200, 400, 800, 1000, 2000, 4000 and 8000 Bells, making it a max total of 16,500 Bells per day.

As well as the usual money making methods in your town (shaking the trees for some bells or items, and finding the money rock that will give you an X amount of bells which both reset everyday i believe) you can also go to Tortimer's Island and go collect a bunch of Sharks/fish and beetles, they sell for very high prices and you will get to 100,000 quite quickly. Another method is to use the Ore Rock method, like @Samuel_1802 has stated, you can earn a lot of money in one day by selling the ores you get from bashing the rock with your shovel, you can also mass produce turnips and fruit and sell them off to another Town with a friend, i think that earns extra money than selling it to your own town i believe.

Since your probably in the early sages of the game you wont have access to the island. I reccomend hitting rocks and shaking trees. You can get ores, fruit, Bee hives and money. Which you can all sell (apart from money) Or you could ask a friend to give you enough money to finish your house and give you a boost.

There are simple tips like getting a shovel and hit every rock you find until one of them gives out bells or ore. There is also another rock that breaks and turns into ore. This is helpful for your first couple of house upgrades, but later on, you have to go to the island after 7 PM to catch beetles and sharks.

You can use the lockers in the Train Station if you don't have a cabinet or drawers in your house.
Three are 3 sections and each section has 6 'pages', each 'page' holds 10 items giving you a total storage of 180 items.
You also can store items in your letters if your pockets are full freeing up 10 slots for you.

Collect a lot of fossils and get them identified but don't donate them, instead sell them at the store and you get a lot of bells. You can also shake trees (though I don't advise it because of bees) to get bells to fall out and occasionally furniture.
If you get a shovel and hit the rocks in town one of them will give you money and if you keep hitting it it gives you more but it will stop after awhile.

There's a lot. I'm probably going to repeat some so here goes nothing,
- Make sure you have an alt player to carry patterns if you're planning to decorate town
- Donate fossils/fish/bugs to the museum first. (You'll eventually get all of them and then you can sell them without worrying)
- There's a magic rock in each town. Dig a hole behind you and hit every rock in the town >.<)/
- Sell stuff at Re-Tail rather than the Nookling Junction. It feels weird saying Nookling Junction >.<
- Choose a space for your house, away from the Train Station (If you want) because there's already a sotage compartment there and you don't want to walk across the whole town to get something D:

Talk to isabelle, she can give you some items depending what you need INCLUDING foreign fruit which you need. Buy items, doesn't matter if you don't want them just sell em to the Recycle Shop after, this will allow you to get store upgrades thus allowing you to buy more stuff. Get the daily money rock and shake the tree's, this'll get you alot of cash. Once you upgrade your house you can talk to tortimer and he'll unlock the Tropical Island, go there at 7pm and catch beetles, this'll will get you around 300,000 bells at a time. Good Luck!

If you are new to ACNL, get a shovel A.S.A.P. and start breaking the rocks. There are many types of emeralds and minerals in there and they sell for 2 000. There is one rock that is special and it resets every day. Dig some holes behind you so you don't bounce back and on some occasions, you will have coins and bags of money that spill out.
