5. Get A Job, Ya Bum
If there is one way not to make money in Grand Theft Auto Online, it's wandering the streets of Los Santos doing nothing. Keep grabbing jobs wherever you can. Early on you'll get at least $1000 and a few hundred RP. Rank up a few levels, or hit random job in your phone, and you can matched with some higher levels and pull crazy stunts that will net you a huge wad of cash. Also, you get 1.5x RP just for doing a mission on hard mode - which is easy if your with other people. You even get a boost for playing a mission with fellow crew members. Doing things like slowing bumping your car into your on foot friend, surfing on your friends car at high speed down the freeway or simply taking him out with a surprise crowbar to the face won't get you any money. It's not like that stuff is very fun, anyways...Right...Right?
