okay so i know these tutorials are everywhere but i also know that the biggest and most famous way to get bells from acnl was bug farming. theres no island that you can go to everytime that will have massive amounts of valuable bugs so i made my own. here's how to do it:

you're going to start by collecting all of the flowers on your island and putting them in one spot. you're probably going to want to remove some of the trees in a large area as well (if you dont know how: eat some fruit, grab a shovel, and dig that tree up). i put my garden in front of my house. there aren't a ton of flowers on your island so i recommend taking a shovel with you and heading to a nook island (or stealing them from your s/o like i did). once there, fill up your pockets with flowers by digging them up and plant them in your home. heres what my garden looks like as of day four in the game:

you can hunt for bugs day or night but the more valuable bugs tend to come out in the evenings (around 7pm). you'll want to have quite a few nets prepared and ready to go. i throw them on the ground with some resources to make some more and the workbench.

the two bugs you're going to want to stock up on are emporer butterflies (4000 bells) and man-faced stink bugs (1000 bells). make sure to scare away all of the regular green stink bugs so that the man faced stink bugs and emporer butterflies appear more frequently.

in a garden of the size above it takes me ~10 minutes to fill up on bugs. once you've filled up on all of your bugs, head over to nooks and sell them.

if nooks is closed, you can drop them on the ground and sell them off the next morning. I've been using this method for ~3 days and I've already gotten to the fourth room in my house. heres my account balance after one night in the game (and i only played for about two hours):
