Terrible suggestions.

Make a crafter and craft weapons and ammo sell it.

Create thief and steal from bos.

Go to somewhere on the world map where you can see ruins of a town (no actual town) enter location. If it is a map with ruins you can find junk on the ground there (you might need to run around that map a bit). With 4 Junk you can craft BBs that is 40xp (you don't need a workbench for that and no skill requirement). Gather junk and craft BBs until youre full. Travel to the nearest town and sell them. Though unprotected towns can harbor danger in form of other players, traders there most of the time have a decent amount of bottle caps. Make sure you trade with the right person, as some NPCs pay more caps for ammo and some play less.

You can also find harvestable trees on one of those ruin-type maps, a good ressource to get wood which enables you to craft basic weaponry you can sell. I don't know the exact number of XP and sell value, so i can't suggest what to sell.

Another good way is to harvest fibers you can find them below Junktown or in Madoc and some other places anyway you need a knife to cut fibers you can make ropes from 2 then sell it and if you have good CH 3 min but the more is better join the slavers you can sell enslaved critters to players or to Vortis or Metzger for 200-150 cap. Some of the slaves can level too they gain hp only though also other slaves can have hp above 100 but those don't level up.

Try make your thief char in operas character planner. You need about 150 big guns for start and then kill centaurs with fire! (flamer) till u reach level 21. With 10 int and skilled you should have 300 steal and picpocket. Steal 5mm ammo from bos patrol and then go around all traders till u find some caps. sell 5mm ammo and repeat till your last brain cell dies.

I've recently been herding brahmin to ncr, very lucrative, from 375 caps to 150!  Just think of the fortune you can make with only a rope!

Easiest way to earn caps is to kill people and take caps, that's how you get easy caps.

If you have high OD and PE (for encounter placement- how far away you appear), pitch a tent by SF mine or between SF and Mine.

All you need to make SEC and non-HQ regular ammo is there (EP machine at the mine aboveground entrance).

Also, ruins full of Junk. (BBs and Frags with GP/MP from Mine.)

Also- can scavenge the dead from SF encounters.
(And Remnants/BoS are nearby to farm.)
Plus Gordon's is near (and Redding/Reno), plus Cent farming.

Some hours of the day there are other players, but you are really pretty well off farming the SF area.

Many traders with caps. Try getting Barter to 160 then Salesman for 200. Throw in Karma Beacon and don't attack NPC factions.
Not sure if KB actually works, but try.
High rep/barter will let you get 50-80% value seling things to traders that don't normaly buy them.

In SF this means you get 6 Traders (Doctor, Bartender on Tanker, 2 Tanker Traders, 2 SF Traders) plus maybe a few others you can barter with.

LOTS of caps.

make a doctor. Give him some combat capabilities but make sure he has necessary stats for doctor profession level 3! You can craft drugs for exp and caps. :D

first though, start by searching the wasteland for broc flowers, xander root and junk. Junk can be found in abandoned city scapes (lil squares on the map). Just drop in on a city type location and search for junk. Craft junk into BB's and sell to an NPC. Should fetch 4 caps per bullet. Craft 1000 of these babies (which is easy) and use that to get your equipment.

If you die and do not have a tent/stash then you can just gather more junk and sell it for your gear - you get 40exp per 75 rounds of BB's that you make so, you'll be gaining exp even if you're not killing mobs

Starting out, for me, was basically shoveling shit and lifting boxes at the hub and junktown but after some prowling the wiki I learned to make ammunition and that was alot more profitable and more experienceful! Storing all my stuff in some random drawer in Junktown( no one ever searched them :D ) and after accumulating some ammo go off and hock it between Junktown, The Hub, and Adytum. Also another quick way was sticking around Adytum and making BB's and usually trading it in for a Mk2 Leather Armor, a Combat Shotgun, and some 12 Gauge shells!
