I'd say the best way to make gil in my experience is to become an omnicrafter and try to be as self sufficient as possible, learn to play the market board.

Keep your retainers doing quick ventures and sell the results (or again desynth and sell the results) some of the stuff they bring back is worth hundreds of thousands.
Work the market board: Find things that NPCs sell but people for whatever reason buy for higher prices on the marketboard like the unglamour prisms and lots of the low level crafting mats. You can make pretty consistent and decent profits like this.

Thank you! Looks like a common theme on both Reddit and here is to craft!
