    How to earn your bells:

    • Sell Foreign Fruit, que?

    You only earn 100 bells for each of the native fruit you sell to Nook, so earning 500 bells for each fruit sounds a lot better, huh?

    Those 500 bells can come from foreign fruit. If you head on over to the this topic, you should be able to find someone willing to share (or trade) fruit with you. Don't sell the fruit they give you though! Make sure you plant it, and plant at least one tree's worth each time the

    fruit comes ripe. Soon, you will have expansive orchards that can make you hundreds of thousands of bells every few days.

    Tip: Don't plant the fruit too close to other trees, it will wilt!

    • Fish! Fish! Fish!

    Fishing can earn you a large amount of bells in a short amount of time if you are good at it. Always make sure that you pull the rod out as soon as

    the bobber sinks. If you want to get the most out of your fishing, check out our Fish Guide (coming soon!). With the guide, you can determine which fish you should throw back into the water because of their low value.

    • Hunt for bugs

    Bugs are very plentiful when compared to AC:WW. Just like AC:WW though, most bugs do not appear during the winter months. Make sure you don't run into bugs hanging from trees, as they will be scared off. Grasshoppers and their relatives like to jump in water, so don't get them too close to the edge! Just like the fish, check out our bug guide (also coming soon!), so you don't spend all of your time pursuing low value bugs. One often elusive bug is the bee. You can get them to fall from trees by shaking them. Sounds simple? To be more successful at catching your bees, approach the tree from the south (bottom) side. Get rid of all the tools except the net (or attach them to letters). Now shake and aim. It takes a while to get timing right.

    • Find fossils - up to three a day!

    Selling fossils to Nook after you have them identified can easily make you a few thousand bells a day. All you have to do is find them first. They have a distinctive look, making a crack in the ground. If you're having a hard time finding any fossils in your town, use the up arrow on the Wiimote to see behind buildings when you're standing even to their north end.

    Tip: Not sure if you want to donate? Check out our fossil guide. Some of the more valuable fossils (like the T.Rex) do not appear often...

    • Invest in the Stalk Market - It doesn't crash... always.

    Each Sunday morning, Joan will travel to your town, selling her turnips. One type she sells is the red turnip. Once you plant it, it is good for a week. By the time Saturday rolls around, it should be worth 16,000 bells. There's a catch! She only sells one of this type for 1,000 bells, and you must water it each and every day. The other type of turnip is the white turnip, and the price varies each week. You can only by these in bunches of 10, and there is no guarantee of a profit. If you time travel at all, you will most likely not be able to sell the turnips to Nook for more than you paid Joan. The white turnips go rotten if they are not sold by the next Sunday.

    • Shake your tree leaves

    Shaking your tree leaves can get you stung... or it can get you lots of bells. If you have not cut down trees in your town, there should be over a dozen trees that drop 100 bells when you shake them. The trees that do this are randomly selected each day. One or two trees should contain an item, falling in the form of a leaf.

    • Shot down

    At random times ending in four (ex. 1:24), a balloon will fly over your town. Shoot it down, reap the reward inside.

    use the B button or touch the object on the touch screen. You then pick the item up. Also dig up holes and if you find a fossil bring it to the museum and ask the owl to tell you what kind of fossil it is. when he trys to get you to let him have it dont let him make him give it back since you now know what it is Nook will give you more for it. you can also fish and catch bugs. Then sell them to Nook. If you find or someone gives you foreign fruit plant it and make a new tree. after the tree grows plant the fruit from that tree again until you have as many trees as you would like. you get 500 bells for foreign fruit and 100 for native(the fruit that was on the trees when you started the game) Good luck and good playing:)

    Buy an action replay. There only $10.00 and they give all the best cheats. All you have to do is tap the cheat you want. You can get them at walmart, target, best buy, or gamestop.

    btw if your wondering where an action replay goes, it goes in the slot where the ds cartridge goes then you stick the game in the action replay.
