10 Easy and Effective Ways to Make Money in GTA 5 Online in 2023

By Rahul Rajput On Aug 21, 2023

In GTA 5’s Online mode, the game is all about making money. So much modern material costs so much money that players often have to figure out how to quickly make millions of dollars. Since this game has been around for almost a decade, there are a lot of ways for players to make extra money. This article is going to look at ten different cases.

There’s sure to be at least one way that will help the reader, especially since the next few suggestions cover a wide range of topics. There are other ways to make money in GTA 5 Online that aren’t on this list, so it’s not like the things on this list are the only ones. Just that these ten examples are some of the most common ways to do things.

In GTA 5 Online, do you need money? Here are the top ten ways to make money in this game.

1) Robberies

Heists are one of the most well-known ways to make money in GTA 5 Online. The Cayo Perico Heist is the most popular choice because it can be done by one person. The Diamond Casino Heist and The Doomsday Heist are also good choices if you know you can trust your friends.

It’s important to know that Heist Replay Glitches make all heists even better because they skip the prep tasks.

2) Money glitches

This kind of information changes often. Most money bugs in GTA 5 Online involve:

Heist Replay
Frozen Money
Vehicle Duplication

Rockstar Games often fix bugs, but some, like the Heist Replay Glitch, can last for weeks or even years. For the latest exploits, players may want to look at r/gtaglitches, the Se7enSins boards, or YouTube.

3) Passive income

Using passive income is one of the easier ways to make money in GTA 5 Online. Here are the businesses you need to remember:

(Up to $50,000 per game day) Nightclub
(Up to $20,000 per day in the game)
Arcade (up to $5,000 a day while playing)

It’s easy to keep people going to a nightclub, so it’s easy to keep that idle income coming in. In the same way, to get $20,000 per day from their Agency, one must finish more than 200 Security Contracts. Arcade is the easiest to regularly max out because you only need to fill up all Arcade Slots with any machine, even if it’s the same one you already have.

You can use an AFK exploit with the Nightclub Garage or the LS Car Meet Test Track to stay inactive indefinitely and keep getting extra income.

4) Agency jobs

In terms of the Agency’s passive income, this location has a couple of good missions that aren’t the usual Sell Mission:

Security Contracts
Payphone Hits
Dr. Dre missions

When done, Dr. Dre’s tasks can pay $1,000,000 and can be done more than once. Security contracts pay enough per finish, and their main purpose is to make this property bring in more passive income. The last thing to talk about here is Payphone Hits, which can be very profitable.

There have been ways for players to get around the limit of Payphone Hits in the past, so this is something to look into.

5) Fooligan Jobs

As part of the Los Santos Drug Wars plot, if you help Dax, Fooligan Jobs will be unlocked. When you finish one of these Freemode tasks, you can get up to $50,000.

Best of all, when you finish ten of them, you get an update for the Acid Lab that makes it much better at making money through Sell Missions.

6) Sell Missions

Most businesses in GTA 5 Online make money through Sell Missions. Basically, this is what you do:

Buy or steal what you need.
Wait
If you run out, you can buy more or steal more.
Wait and do it again and again until you have all the items you need.

Some businesses do things in different ways. Still, the above list is usually how it works for MC properties, Acid Lab, and other similar places. When you do Sell Missions with other people in a lobby, you can make more money, but you’re also more likely to lose everything to a griefer. If that happens, just stop the game or disconnect from the Internet right away.

If you don’t want other players to get in the way, it’s best to do Sell Missions in an Invite Only Session. For some companies, don’t forget to use Stash Houses and daily Street Dealers.

7) VIP Work

Most people who play GTA 5 Online can easily become VIPs, so they might as well do VIP Work. It doesn’t matter what kind of business you have, and the pay goes from okay to good. Most VIP Work can be done alone, which is good for people who like to be alone. The Interaction Menu is where you can choose a job.

In general, this way to make money is best for newbies, especially those who play on consoles without Career Builder.

8) Customer Jobs

Client Jobs are tasks that people who own Terrorbytes can do. One of them, Robbery in Progress, is easy to beat and pays more than $30,000 per finish. That’s not bad for something that only takes a few minutes, especially if a weekly update makes it better.

9) Make use of the weekly modification

Most weeks, GTA 5 Online gets a new version on Thursday. That means the jobs that pay twice or three times as much money change about once a week. Check out what the Rockstar Newswire is selling this week if you want to try something new to make money.

Some weekly updates may even give you more money, but they are much less common than the normal 2x and 3x boosted jobs.

10) Shark Cards

When all else fails, you can always use the controversial microtransaction called Shark Cards. Even though they cost real money, they are still the best way to get millions of GTA$ in a few seconds. If you play GTA 5 Online for free, you can’t use this method, which is pretty clear.

In a similar way, GTA+ also gives you $500,000 every month and some ways to make more money. Microtransactions are known to make a lot of money, so players can expect something similar in Grand Theft Auto 6.
