Grow crops, mine, fish... Some people have a lot of luck mining, but I'm not so great at it so I prefer crops and animals. Growing yams in the fall really made me a lot of money. If you search on here you'll find plenty of topics like this with recommendations.

What I like to do is go foraging.
If have all the areas, start foraging on the 29th of the season. You'll get lots of stuff so be sure to make room in your rucksack. If you don't have all the areas, just start on the 30th. (The reason I say that if you have all the areas go sooner is because foraging can take a lot of time, especially if there is more areas to go to that just the Town and the W. Town.)
If you want more money, you can go foraging on the 15th and 29th/30th and get tons of money. About 10,000.
Probably the biggest amount of money would be from farming. Sure, it takes time, but it still is a good source of cash. Be sure not to plant too much when you first start out, you'll get too tired, too fast. Just start out with maybe 3 squares and go up from there.
Ex. of squares:
X = tilled area
0 = free area
X X X
X 0 X
X X X
or
X X X
X X X
X 0 X
or
X X X
X 0 X
X 0 X
The reason why there's a free space in all of them is because you need to water all the crops. By doing a full square, you have no way of getting to the middle space to water unless you have a blue or red Wonderful.
Hope this helps and good luck!

It's so ridiculously hard to get money in that game.
Forage and fish, that's what I recommend, oh and plant here and there.

During Spring, the big rock on the beach gives out seaweed once a day if you tap on it. They sell for around 800 to 1000 G. During Summer, you should go fishing at the ocean and try to catch pirate treasure, which can sell for up to 30,000 G.
You should also forage around the last days of the month or something, because by that time most of the items should have upgraded to an A or S rank.
When you grow your crops, remember to keep track of the amount of sun and water that they get, and wait until they're a high rank before you harvest them.
OH, and a great way to make money is to go fishing during events in the meadow. Time freezes when you enter the meadow during events, so you should bring your fishing rod and food so that you can regain your stamina. You can fish either before or after the event is over, just don't leave the meadow until you're done fishing.
Hope I helped, I haven't played IoH in a while, so these are just some of the things that I remember on the top of my head.

Buy chocolate and use it when mining. You need at least 3 orange wonderfuls for it to be easily profitable and about 12 stacks of 99 chocolate to drop through pitfalls to the last level to get a wonderful.
Also the wonderful you receive is based on your farming degree and drops in the same order as the festivals. 10 uses of your tool will change the colour but if you dig up money or grass it changes the result to that of catching a fish (3 will change a colour). Save your game before going to 255.

Depends how you want to play your game. I earned most of my money through mining, farming and fishing. At the start, I forage and fished. Later on, I did all that plus mining. Though I watched someone I know, that mines and earns over one million per day just by being picky on how they mined.

Begin with foraging - sell anythign you find (don't forget to take seaweed each day in Spring), farming is probably the best way - Turnip grows kinda fast so stick with it

If you start a new game give Taro a colorfull grass each day - so he would give you a fishing pole fast

Best way is to gather all the grasses and give him the lowest ranked.
When you have the pole - start fishing. Then you can start eating grass to regain Fullness and sell fish.
It's best to get a cow rather than chickens - chickens are easyer to handle and cheaper but you will need the milk for mining later on.
From every festival get and Orange Wonderful - make sure you buy a milker with 3 slots and put all your Wonderfuls in it!
At the end of Fall start gathering the milk. You can make Hot Chocolate out of it and take it with you to the mine.
Good Luck!

Farming got me a ton my first spring. I used the weather to determine the best days to plant turnips. You can get an accurate forcast of 6 days by going into the future without saving. I ended up shipping 265 that first spring with watering very little. I used the extra time for foraging since there's not much else to do your first season. After unlocking some recipes, I recommend mining with some Wonderfuls on your hammer. Fried egg and chocolate milk are very easy and basic recipes that get a good fill on your stamina.

My method to getting money quick:
1)build a barn and coop
2)upgrade and buy cows/chickens
3)Put as many orange wonderfuls on the milker as you can, collect loads of eggs
4)take them and make ice cream or pudding (make a bunch, like 50 or more)
5)go to the mine, only mine on the "important floors" such as the 25th, 50th, etc. And when you get to the bottom, start mining on the 245th or the 250th floor to get a bunch of expensive, high quality items that sell for more until you get to the last floor. If you have enough food left, you can till the field to try to get the lithograph for your shipping list.
6)ship the items; keep the orichalc and adamantite if you need it. Keep the pink daimond for Sabrina if you need it. Always remember to keep the highest quality item for the mining festival!!!
Good luck!
