5 best ways to earn money in GTA Online: Odd Jobs and others (August 3 to 7, 2025)
1) Odd Jobs

Rockstar did something different this time with the latest GTA Online weekly update. Instead of focusing on major activities in Los Santos, the developers have promoted odd jobs. Some of the side activities are now giving 2x cash and RP, making them one of the best sources for money in GTA Online. This includes:
The last two entries are the latest ones that debuted with the latest Money Fronts DLC. As completing one delivery only takes a few minutes, doing them repeatedly will give a great amount of cash this week.
2) Featured adversary modes

There are a lot of adversary modes in GTA Online, and it could be overwhelming to remember and play every one of them. Most of the time, there aren’t enough players ready to play a certain adversary mode. That’s why Rockstar added the GTA Online Featured Series playlist.
This special playlist contains certain adversary modes for you to try each week, and the best part is the double bonuses you can earn by participating in them. Let’s look at all of the adversary modes available in the Featured Series this week:
- Collection Time II
- Collection Time I
- Land Grab V
- Land Grab IV
- Kill Quota III
- Kill Quota V
- Trap Door II
- Trap Door I
3) Back to Cayo Perico
The Cayo Perico island made a surprise return last month via a new game mode – the Cayo Perico Motor Wars. It is an adversary mode that has been added as part of the Money Fronts drip-feed content, and it functions similarly to a Last Team Standing match. There is a good variety of arsenal that participants can find in this mode, including:
- Sticky Bombs
- Homing Launcher
- Railgun
- Marksman Rifle Mk II
- Special Carbine Mk II
- Combat Shotgun
- El Strickler
There are some weaponized vehicles too that one can find here, including:
- TM-02 Khanjali
- Barrage
- APC
All of this makes it one of the best and most interesting ways to make money in Grand Theft Auto Online this week.
4) Washing Cars
The GTA Online Money Fronts DLC added one of the best businesses in Los Santos – Hands On Car Wash. Located in Strawberry, the business allows one to earn more in a variety of ways, mainly:
However, one can also earn passive money from it, starting anywhere from $750 to $1500. What makes it special this week is that it is being boosted, allowing the business owners to earn double the amount of passive income. This makes the Hands On Car Wash business one of the best ways to earn money in Los Santos.
5) The Priority File of the week
Every week, the GTA Online Garment Factory owners have access to the Priority File mission. This is one of the available FIB Files missions, but it pays double the amount of cash. This week, the Priority File is none other than The Fine Art File.
The objective of the mission is simple: Retrieve a stolen piece of art from a penthouse. However, you will need certain things to help them in this mission, mainly the EMP Charges and a helicopter.
Completing this mission right now will give you more than $300,000, making it one of the best ways to earn money for the Garment Factory owners.
Although there are dozens of other ways to make money in Los Santos, you should try all of the aforementioned options and hustle a bit faster than usual.
