Recently, Epic Games Store gave away free copies of Grand Theft Auto V, and needless to say, there is a sudden spike of player-count in the GTAO on PC. The online aspect of Grand Theft Auto is all about building a crime empire and earning money. But how does one do this?

The obvious answers revolve around purchasing a business, doing VIP missions, or buying a bunker. But all of this requires a significant investment sum, which is not easy to make. There are a few ways in which one can earn easy-money while leveling up. And all without spending a single buck.

10 Daily Objectives

The easiest and fun way to earn some cash and RP is to do the daily objectives. A player must be at least Rank 15 or above for this. Once above the specific rank requirements, players can open up their interaction menu, and check out the daily objectives.

Most of these objectives are very easy to complete and do not require a team of players. However, sometimes the daily goals are directly connected to a business task, which can not be done if the player doesn't own said business.

9 Daily Spin & Visitor Bonus

The Diamond Casino & Resort is the place to be in Grand Theft Auto Online, and there is a straightforward reason as to why - Visitor Bonus and Daily Spins. Other than the cheats or hacks, this is the only way in the game to earn something by doing nothing.

The Diamond Casino allows players to collect 1,000 free chips every day, which can be converted into GTA$. It also lets players spin the wheel to earn free rewards that range from money to exotic cars. The casino is one place that all players must visit every day.

8 Free Vehicles & Properties

While this is not a money-making recipe, it is a beneficial tip for new players. Much like the interaction menu, the mobile is probably the most significant part of GTA Online. Players can use it to call favors, join other people, and accept invites. But here, players will also find perhaps the most prominent feature of the phone, the in-game internet.

Players should always scout websites for vehicles and properties to look for free stuff. Visiting a website and sorting the page from the lowest to highest price will show if something is available for free. And who doesn't like free stuff?

7 Collecting All Action Figures & Cards

There are 100 easily collectible action figures and 50 playing cards spread throughout the map in Grand Theft Auto Online. Collecting each one of these will give players some RP and money, which is making money for mainly walking around in the game world, something that players are meant to do anyway.

After the action figure activity, players will have earned 150,000 GTA$ and  150,000 RP. Similar rewards can be received for the cards. There are many guides available online showing how to get each one of them, and they are worth it.

6 Finishing All The Bounties

Here is another easy way to earn 250k GTA$ for doing what can be described as single-player missions. Bounty Target missions are given to the players by Maude Eccles. These are some of the easiest tasks in the game.

The main objective is to capture designated NPCs or kill them. There are a total of five bounties, after which players will have earned a fair amount of money, as well as a secret weapon. It is suggested that all the bounties must be captured for maximum profit.

5 Treasure Hunt

Here is another way to earn 250,000 GTA$ quickly. The treasure hunt is a promotional mission that serves as a teaser for Red Dead Redemption 2. The task is about finding a lost treasure and has a story arch connected to it. Players have to find the treasure by following the pictures they receive on the phone.

This is very similar to bounty target missions and is essentially a single-player task shoved into the online, which isn't a bad thing, especially when you look at the reward.

4 High Rated Missions

One way to play missions in Grand Theft Auto Online is to use the menu to browse specific missions. This is another way to earn some good cash and RP while having fun. In the mission browser menu, players can quickly see which are the highest rated missions. These are usually the missions with an excellent reward.

Players can replay the missions over and over again, kind of like farming in Dark Souls. The only downside to this method is that it's going to get repetitive.

3 Quick Job

The Quick Job icon in the game lets players play Doomsday Heist in just a click. This is the best way to play this mission without investing in a facility.

The Diamond Casino and Doomsday Heists are one of the highest paying heists in the game, and they're just a click away. Once clicked, the game will try to find possible Heists or setups that require additional players. Repeating quick jobs will quickly earn players with millions of GTA$.

2 Create A Custom Playlist

Here is how to make the best use of custom playlists. Go and create a new playlist and then look for all the missions that are high paying and have the additional bonus rewards. To find this, look at the top right corner of the missions.

The tasks with 3xRP and 3x$ mean that the rewards are three times more than the original. Adding these missions into a playlist and playing through them will result in a reasonable amount of cash and RP.

1 Accept Heist Invites

Here is possibly the easiest way to earn big money. Heists invites are continually popping up in the phone, and players can accept these invites to join a heist or a heist setup. Playing through these missions will require some time, but try to communicate with the team, this helps in finishing these missions fast.

Once the players have joined a heist setup, chances are that after it is over, another invite will pop up to continue. Keep at it until the Heist is done for maximum reward.
