3 best money-making methods to grind in GTA Online

GTA Online has a fair share of money-making activities that you can indulge in. There are freemode missions, heists, contracts, races, hit jobs, and random events, just to name a few. Among these, some specific activities are more lucrative than others, especially when variables like time and effort are taken into account.

An argument can be made that three activities: Cayo Perico Heist, Cluckin' Bell Raid farm, and Nightclub sell missions, are excellent for making lots of cash in GTA Online. Here's how.

3 great money-making methods to cycle through in GTA Online

Cayo Perico Heist

The Cayo Perico Heist is arguably the best heist in GTA Online. It allows players to enter a completely new island (a new map), where they can scout El Rubio's mansion and then steal valuables from it.

The best feature of this heist is that it can be done even if you are solo, making it the best and only solo heist in the game. If you are a veteran, you can easily do this heist under 45 minutes, along with setups and the finale. The heist's payout can be anywhere between $1,000,000 to $4,500,000, before the cuts.

After doing the heist once, there is a two and a half hour cooldown period. This is where other activities come into play.

Cluckin' Bell Farm Raid

After doing the Cayo Perico heist, you can take a breather and do The Cluckin' Bell Farm Raid. This is somewhat of a mini-heist, which involves a few setup missions and a smaller finale. This can also be done either solo or with a team.

The best part about this series of missions is that you do not need any particular vehicle or property to start. You can simply head to the letter "V" on the map and start it.

For a more seasoned player, it can take them anywhere from 45 minutes to one hour to complete the raid. The payout for this relatively easy mini-heist is $500,000.

If you are a new GTA Online player, this is the first mission you should be focusing on, since it does not require any vehicle or property. Then you can purchase a Kosatka and start the Cayo Perico heist, from which you can earn more and purchase MC businesses and then a nightclub.

Nightclub sell mission

Lastly, you can sell your nightclub goods, which can fill up in the background while you do the aforementioned activities. This particular money-making method is preferred for a more seasoned player, particularly because nightclub goods require you to own various MC businesses and bunkers.

Basically, if you own MC businesses and bunkers, you can have an additional side business from those through your nightclub. You can assign technicians to different businesses, and they will source goods to your nightclub over time.

Once the nightclub fills up, you can simply take the armored van and sell them. The nightclub sells missions that are some of the simplest in the game.

Though it takes around 20 hours for the nightclub to get a decent amount of goods, you can sell them more frequently even after completing the aforementioned heists.

If you keep repeating these three activities, you will be able to earn money efficiently and quickly in GTA Online.
