If Feudal Japan has already traumatized you enough, and you are looking for a moment of calm from the legions of demons of the new Doom, your choice can only fall on the latest exclusive license plate Nintendo.
As all fans of the franchise surely know, one of your first concerns in Animal Crossing is to understand how to earn money, or Starlets. Getting money will allow you to expand your home, as well as furnish it and perform a variety of other tasks.
Unlike the previous chapters of the series, in New Horizons we will not have any initial debt with Tom nook, as the airfare to get to the island and the initial lodgings were paid for with the Nook miles, a new in-game currency that we will tell you more about in the body of this guide. However, as soon as you decide to move into a "brick" house, you will inevitably have contracted a debt with the nicest and most venal raccoon in the game.

How to get many Bells quickly
Let's immediately clarify an aspect of fundamental importance: to earn Stars in Animal Crossing: New Horizons you will have to spend time, often even a lot of time. However, there are activities you can perform to maximize the results of the actions you take, all with one guideline in mind: be a proactive citizen.
Here is a series of actions that will allow you to earn Bells:
On certain occasions, just shaking trees, smashing rocks, or popping balloons will automatically earn you money. For this very reason, remember to always be active.
Selling excess items (being careful who to sell them to)
In this respect, Animal Crossing: New Horizons is similar to its predecessors: the fastest way to get Bells is to sell the items you don't need. The two main characters you can sell excess inventory to are Timmy e Tommy. In the early stages of the game, the two will have their own shop in the Residential Services tent; however, after some of your progress, you will help them achieve the Nook's Cranny (follow the directions on how to build the Nook's Cranny) but make no mistake: you will not receive any discount for your collaboration.
From this precise moment on, you will find them there, but only at certain times. In any case, don't worry: during closing hours, you can find a external box in which to store objects that you no longer need, and you will receive your compensation on Stelline the next morning.
Fortunately, Timmy and Tommy aren't your only sales contact. In this respect, in fact, you can count on two other NPCs: CJ the beaver e Flick the chameleon. As their animal nature might suggest, the first is fond of fish, while the second of insects and, precisely on the basis of what has been written, they will assign you missions related to the capture of these specific animals, rewarding you with unique objects.
But that's not all: these two characters will pay you Extra stars for every fish and/or bugs you sell them, more than Timmy and Tommy will offer you.
Returning to these two characters, however, know that as soon as they have opened the Nook's Cranny, you can get extra money by selling the "Hot item" of the day. This object changes every 24 hours, but don't worry: these are always objects that can be found with a certain ease.
Crafting items
It may seem strange, but selling raw materials, in some cases, will be less convenient than the sell the items obtained by working those same raw materials. In this respect, as you will easily notice, in Animal Crossing: New Horizons the crafting system has been decidedly in-depth, allowing you to create objects practically from scratch.
Let's take a couple of examples. If you draw an Old Tire, you can sell it for 10 Bells; if instead, using a workbench, from that same object, you obtain a Toy Tire, you can resell this object for 20 Bells. Or if you have two Iron nuggets available, you can choose to sell them for 750 Bells, or to use them to obtain one pot, from whose sale you can get 1500 Bells, practically double!
It goes without saying that crafting new items through the crafting system will take some time, but it's always a worthwhile activity, especially as you take your first steps on the island. Always remember, however, to keep some raw materials for you, above all Wood e Iron, since you will need them to progress in the game, opening new shops and building certain structures.
Import exotic fruit to sell and grow perfect fruit
As mentioned earlier, one of the first ways you can earn money in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is by fruit picking and selling. Simply reach for any tree and shake it, or hit it with your axe, to drop the fruit. However, the fruits of the plants native to the island are available in large quantities and, for this very reason, they will not yield you many Bells.
Our advice is to visit other islands. How do you visit other islands? There are two solutions: either with the multiresources4gaming (read our guida al multiresources4gaming), or it should get gods tickets with Nook Miles, which will allow you to visit other islands. As soon as you arrive on the new island, all you have to do is collect the fruits of the plants not present on yours and, back home, all you have to do is sell and, above all, plant them.
In this way, in fact, you will be able to obtain some exotic fruit plants, which will guarantee you a constant income.
As far as Perfect Fruit is concerned, however, the matter is more complex. THE Perfect Fruits they are aesthetically more beautiful and flashy than their "standard colleagues", and their value is therefore higher. However, these are rare items to find, but we have a tip for you: the moment you get your hands on a perfect exotic fruit, plant it in your garden.
Indeed, in this way the first harvest will consist of only perfect fruits, which means a significant amount of Bells.
Use the Stalk Market to make profits
After you help Timmy and Tommy build the Nook's Cranny, a new NPC will show up to visit your island the following Sunday. It's about Daisy Mae, who has taken over from his grandmother Joan, bringing the Stalk Market back to life.
Your goal is to sell the turnips when their value is higher, so as to get the highest profit possible. But don't think about accumulating them over time: in fact, within a week, the turnips in question will become stale, losing all their value. Wait for the right moment and sell, thus obtaining a potentially very large amount of Bells.
