Heists are undoubtedly one of the best ways to earn a lot of money in GTA Online if you're bored of businesses. Not only do they offer tons of fun and adventure but the amount of cash you can earn is huge. For example, the Cayo Perico heist, which can be completed solo, will net you around a million in-game dollars.

This is a lot of money that can be earned in a short amount of time. Heists are also one of the best ways to stack cash if you wish to grind in the game and are looking to stockpile a lot of money.


2) Grind the Cluckin' Bell Farm Raid

The Cluckin' Bell Farm Raid is another interesting way to make money in GTA Online without depending on your businesses. Vincent requires your help to root out a cartel from Los Santos. The whole process will get a good sum of money as well.

Since this mini-heist does not require any prep money or property, new players with limited funds can also participate. It also takes relatively less time to complete the whole thing, making it a prime target for grinding for money in the online multiplayer mode. Completing the Cluckin' Bell Farm Raid will get you $500,000.


3) Contact Missions are your friend

While numerous players ignore the Contact Missions in the game, they're one of the best ways to make money in GTA Online for beginners and veterans. These missions are offered by GTA 5 story mode characters who appear in the online multiplayer mode like Lamar, Martin Madrazo, and Simeon.

All of them have a variety of missions that players can complete. This ensures nobody gets bored or has to complete a string of monotonous tasks. While the pay is certainly not as high as heists, the Contact Missions are much more fun and can be started without spending a dime or owning a property.


4) Jobs can earn you decent money

Rockstar Games has implemented the Jobs feature in the online multiplayer mode specifically for those who are bored of the regular ways to make money in GTA Online. The missions under this section range from intense deathmatches to adrenaline-rushing races.

Since the developer often offers double cash and RP on many of these tasks, players can earn a good sum by grinding them throughout the week. The variety in the missions also ensures they don't get bored. Jobs are some of the best alternatives to making money if you're tired of running business missions.


5) The daily objectives are an underrated method

The daily objectives are another great way to earn money in GTA Online if you are taking a break from your businesses. While they don't offer a crazy sum of money of RP, you can make around $30,000. This is a set of three tasks you can easily complete each day to collect this reward.

On top of that, maintaining a streak of completing the daily tasks will earn you hefty bonuses after a couple of days. This makes them one of the best ways to make money in the game without having to participate in anything dangerous.
