How to earn Gil fast in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Getting money at the beginning of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth might be a bit of a grind. Therefore, you should make the most of chances to earn Gil early on. This way, you’ll have a solid stash for later battles. There are a lot of new adventures and side quests unveiled in Rebirth that never made it into the Remake, so there's also a wealth of ways to earn Gil.
Sell excess items

If you're quite the adventurer and slayer, chances are you have obtained many extra resources that you hardly ever tap into. Healing items are the foremost to be sold from the inventory. There are numerous items in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and the majority of them can be exchanged for Gil without sacrificing anything particularly valuable.
You can sell weaker or duplicate items once better alternatives are obtained, or some items that become less useful over time due to expiration dates. It's a two-fold gain: not only do you earn gil, but your inventory also isn't cluttered with items you don't need.
Transmute excess items

You might prefer to keep them all to complete collections, finding the price less than ideal, or perhaps selling them just doesn't sit well with you right at the moment. All things considered, you can't afford to have too many extra items in your inventory. You have to sell them instead of letting them linger in your inventory.
If the problem is that the price doesn’t seem pretty decent for you, you can transmute most out of items that would otherwise go unused or be sold off relatively low value. Extra resources can be transmuted into more coveted items using various recipes. That means they're not just paying for the items, but also for all the work you put into crafting them, which means more Gil.
Locate hidden caches

That means you might come across hidden caches quite easily if you search for them, but it's up to you whether you want to chase down every single one. The Grasslands Region is where you first dip your toes into the whole cache-hunting experience, where you can find seven caches.
Two of those caches can be found in the marsh region where you cross paths with Midgardsormr. You can find items for survival, weapons, armour, some portions of gil, and rare and unique items that may not be available for purchase or found elsewhere in the game. When looting items from the caches, expect to find duplicates in your inventory, which you can sell if you think they will just end up unused. The more caches you loot, the more Gil you make.
Engage in expedition intel or sidequests

With the expansive landscapes of Rebirth, there's a wealth of expedition intel waiting to be explored. After completing every expedition, you gain access to rare crafting materials. These can be sold as they are or transmuted into other forms for sale if you don't need them for your adventure.
The Pedometer Pin

The Pedometer Pin is a convenient add-on that keeps tabs on your step count automatically. And the best part is, for every 100 steps walked, you earn 1 Gil. This might not seem like a quick path to riches, but if you relish adventure, you won't mind going for a jog.
