“Do things alone.” If your friends are not going to a place you like, then go there alone. If you wanna do an activity but they are not willing to come, then do it alone. If you wanna start a business but you don’t have a partner or a team, then start that business alone.
Or if you wanna experience something which might be seen as a group thing, like going on a hike or going to a concert, then do all of those things alone as well and find new friends there. You can’t live your life based on what others are willing to let you do.
Do things alone until you find people who are willing to do things with you.
Do not force people to come with you to do anything. Do it solo and do it afraid; it is better than sitting around and wondering about what ifs.
In this blog, we are touching down on the same topic, but in a fictional world of Los Santos. In this guide, we’ll talk about how to do things solo in Grand Theft Auto Online, more precisely, how to make money in the game as a solo player.
As you know, everything costs money — in real life as well as in the fictional life of Grand Theft Auto. Playing as a newbie, that too with little to no cash, can be a hard experience for you.
So read this blog thoroughly, apply the things I’m about to share, and in no time, you’ll be a centi-millionaire in GTA Online.
1. Rockstar Featured Series
The first on the list is the one that you can do without any money.
If you’re just starting out and don’t own a criminal enterprise DLC (which Rockstar gives you as a free add-on with 5 million dollars and an enterprise to choose from), then the Rockstar Featured Series makes the most sense.
Although it doesn’t pay in millions, it still gives you decent cash to build yourself up.
💰 What You Can Expect
- Weekly new jobs and contracts — race, combat, and hitman-style missions
- Flexible gameplay — choose races, combat events, or jobs that suit your mood
- Payout range — around $100K to $200K per session
Tip: These missions are ideal for beginners who are short on cash but eager to start making money in GTA Online. However, if you’d prefer to skip the grind and jump straight into the action, you can simply buy GTA Money at an affordable price to get started faster.
2. Low-Cost Businesses
After completing enough jobs and races in the Rockstar Featured Series, it’s time to level up and start a business.
Since you’re still not a millionaire, go for the cheapest business with quick profitability — something that helps you break even in a few days and start earning real money soon.
🏍️ MC Club Business
The MC Club is one of the most underrated yet cheapest business ventures. Many players overlook it because it’s often seen as a gateway to other businesses like the Green Lab or Coke Factory.
But it’s by far the most affordable and can generate solid early profits.
| Business | Startup Cost | Profitability | Notes |
| MC Club | $200,000 | High (for beginners) | Unlocks other businesses like Coke Factory |
| Green Lab | $1.3M+ | Medium | Requires setup |
| Coke Factory | $1.5M+ | High | Needs MC Club first |
💡 Why Choose the MC Club
- Requires only $200,000 to start
- First few missions like Death Bike and Hitting the Roof pay back your investment
- Can help you earn your first million quickly
3. Cluckin’ Bell Farm Raid
The next activity you can do as a solo player is the Cluckin’ Bell Farm Raid.
🐔 Why It’s Perfect for Solo Players
- No business or property required
- No upfront cash or account level needed
- Available through the yellow V symbol on the map
If you don’t see it, don’t worry — Vincent will call you about the heist eventually. Once you get the call, the symbol will appear.
After going there, you’ll get a list of setups to complete before the final Slush Fund mission.
⏱️ Time & Rewards
- Setup time: ~1 hour to 1.5 hours (less with experience)
- Payout: Around $500,000 per completion
This solo heist feels like a real one — and the payout is totally worth the effort!
4. Nightclub Business
If you’ve made some cash in the game and still want to play solo, the Nightclub is your best bet.
It generates passive income and doesn’t rely on associates or teammates.
💵 Startup Requirements
- Bank balance: $2–3 million
- Choose a decent location
- Upgrade equipment and hire staff
Once set up, your nightclub can earn:
- $100K every 48 minutes
- Even more if you maintain high popularity
⭐ Why Nightclub is Worth It
- Fully solo-friendly business
- Top passive income source in GTA Online
- Popularity boosts your hourly earnings
- Considered the best long-term business for solo players
Final Thoughts
Whether you’re just starting out or already building your empire, GTA Online offers plenty of solo money-making opportunities.
Start small with Rockstar’s Featured Series, build your first business through the MC Club, and then scale your way up to high-profit ventures like the Cluckin’ Bell Raid and Nightclub business.
Keep grinding, invest wisely, and soon you’ll be among the elite earners of Los Santos — no crew required.
