* There are plenty of things to farm where you'll have less competition. Do some research. (skins, furs, blue landtrap leaf for starters)

* Buy items from NPCs to resell on the market. Do some research. (iron ore, cotton boll, etc)

* Leves grant gil

* Spirit bond cheap gear to convert into materia and sell

* Low level gathering and crafting can grant access to massive gil.

* Don't be lazy.
