First, they will have to spend money to make money, but once they get a good routine and have some luck, they'll pull in tons of profit.

How to Make Money Fast in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life
Grow Crops
Players can start cultivating their land with crops starting Day One. They'll be gifted their first packets of seeds but can purchase more from Vesta's Farm with their starting funds. There are various vegetables, fruits, and trees that can be planted. Players can also get fertilizer to grow higher-grade crops.
They can plant them easily since they already have a hoe and two soil plots. The soil plot next to the house has a low-grade soil quality, but it's a good spot for growing trees since they take up several squares. The plot next to it has more fertile soil, better for most veggies and fruits.
To plant seeds, first till the soil with the Hoe. Then throw the seeds into the holes, and they will be planted. From there, players must make sure to water them every day using the Watering Can. Remember to water them because the plants will wither and must be dug back up and thrown out. If players fill both soil plots with crops and then sell them at the Shipping Bin every night, they'll have a steady income each season.
Raise Farm Animals
Buying more farm animals is more expensive than growing crops, but it is well worth the price. Takakura gives players a Cow for free when they move to the valley, but they can buy more using the Ledger next to the Shipping Bin. Players can also purchase different kinds of Cows, Sheep, and Chickens. Farm animals cost thousands of Gold Coins, so filling up the Barn and Chicken Coop may take some time.
Cows produce Milk which can be sold as is or made into Butter and Cheese with the proper facility. Players can also buy Sheep to harvest their Wool, which is significantly more profitable but takes longer to collect. Both of these can be sold in the Shipping Bin.
It is essential to keep farm animals fed and taken care of, or else they won't produce quality things. The happier they are, the higher-grade Milk and Wool they'll produce. Eggs from hens can also be sold at the Shipping Bin.
Use the Dig Site
The Dig Site can be visited daily and is home to Carter and Flora, who work there to uncover archeological secrets. Players will find it across the bridge near Vesta's Farm beside the waterfall. It is open from 10 AM to 5 PM most days. Players can speak to Carter, and he will give them a shovel to dig in the loose dirt through the artificial cave.
They can dig up various items such as clay figures, old coins, ores, and the occasional gold item. The gold items are the most valuable but also the most rare. Players will have a higher chance of finding them if they visit on days that a bowtie-wearing chihuahua is waiting outside because it means good luck. In addition, if players find a mysterious stone tablet, Carter will take it, and the Dig Site will be expanded the following season.
Players can sell all the items they find at the Dig Site to a traveling salesman named Van, who visits Forgotten Valley on the third and eighth of each season. Van will also purchase any produce and farm animal products that players don't want to ship from the Shipping Bin.
Sell Van Fish and Flowers
Players can sell other resources outside the farm, including Fish and Flowers. There are flowers all over the valley, and once picked, they will grow back in a couple of days. There are new flowers each season, so players have an unlimited source.
Players can also catch fish and sell them to Van after they buy a Fishing Rod from him. There are fish in every water source throughout the valley, including the ponds, river, and ocean. Like the chihuahua at the Dig Site, reptiles such as a wounded lizard and ribbon-adorned tortoise signify good luck, meaning players will be more likely to catch bigger fish.
