The provided tips will be aimed more towards newer players in GTA Online. However, veterans of GTA Online may still find some useful tips in this guide. It will be focused more on broad advice about how to flip a profit in the crime world of GTA Online. 

Double Money Events in GTA Online

The first way that any GTA Online player can turn a quick profit is through the weekly Double Money events. As the name implies, this is an opportunity for players to earn twice the money they normally would on particular jobs, which differ from week to week.

This opportunity provides players an opportunity to try a variety of game modes with an impressive payout as an incentive. These Double Money events are added to GTA Online on almost every Thursday, providing a weekly opportunity to add funds to new and veteran players alike.

Doing Heists in GTA Online

Heists are another essential method to earn profit in GTA Online. An average hour-long mission can earn players anywhere between $400,000 to over $1 million for completion. This method is a go-to for anyone starting up in GTA Online due to the creative nature of the missions provided and the potential payout on a successful mission.

To undergo Heists a player must have a luxury apartment. The profits from heists are enough to earn back the investment quite quickly. The introduction of both the Casino and Doomsday Heists provides players the incentive to participate as they provide a major payout for completion.

Heists are almost essential for financial success in GTA Online and if possible any player looking to get rich should participate.

GTA Online's Daily Objectives

Unlocked at rank 15, Daily Objectives are daily challenges that provide a small payout for completion. These day to day challenges may seem insignificant to players but can make a huge difference in profit if consistently done.

If a player successfully completes all Daily Objectives within that month that player is awarded an additional $500,000. Alongside the accumulated profit of the Daily Objectives this averages about a little over $1 million for simply doing the day to day challenges provided for players.

Although not a substantial amount of money, new players should certainly engage these Daily Objectives to begin building a foundation for their GTA Online career.

Investing in Properties in GTA Online

Buying properties such as the motorcycle clubs or night club businesses are a sure-fire way to earn a profit in GTA Online. Unlike the previously mentioned methods, these are entirely passive profits, meaning after they are bought they will earn a set amount of money per hour. Averaging anywhere between $40,000 to $80,000 per hour, these investments are worth the money as they require no involvement from the player minus the initial acquisition.

However, players must be a CEO in order to gain these profits on top of the actual purchase of the Nightclub. To become a CEO players must purchase an office, the cheapest office for purchase is a $1 million investment. Given the passive nature of owning these businesses though, within a few hours the investment will be worth it.

If a GTA Online newcomer can save enough money, investing in profitable businesses is a safe way to ensure income on a daily basis.

All of the following methods are viable options for making money in GTA Online. They do all require a set amount of work to make a profit. With enough dedication, these methods can set a new player on the path to being a millionaire.
