Treasure maps - Need a gather to get the maps unless you're spending money to buy them which in some cases you would just lose more money than you got.
Content sales - Usually supplemented by RMTs also required a team.
Daily/Weekly challenges - That's not a lot gil and especially not enough for the millions you need.
Retainer Ventures - You'd have to get super freaking lucky to consistently find mats that would get you the millions you need instead of the standard fish they bring back.
Playing the marketboard - Maybe, but without a good supply I can't see how you can play the marketboard without your own injections.
Spiritbonding / Materia sales - You'd have to keep buying the gear to spiritbond with and hope that the money you spent on the gear was less than the materia you got.

I took out the others because they didn't exist prior to our current problem so I can't comment on them today. These were the only way to get money before Heavensward when all the houses became sold out.
