Best ways to make money (and CEO/Associate Question)

[Josh]

I just started GTA V Online, I'm rank 10, and I'm wondering what they best ways to start off making money are besides getting invited to heists/setups.

My question is, once you are qualified to, how do you become a CEO and what does a CEO do? Also, quite a few times I've been invited to become an associate. What does an associate do?

Thanks

Pretty much buying cargo, then moving that cargo to warehouses. Then selling that cargo for money.

I'm not sure if there's a minimum rank requirement, but to become a CEO you need to buy an office which is over $1,000,000.

You'll earn good money being a bodyguard and completing objectives set by the VIP/CEO providing they don't die. Better yet you could accept heist invites.

CEO unlocks the ability to do a few certain missions in freemode. After having done a lot of these missions I've found that doing hesists is better money if you have a decent group of people, but doing CEO missions allows for more ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ around while still making some money.

If i was in your position I would just spam the featured game modes, the ones giving double money and RP. This way you make decent money, and your lack of weapons shouldn't hurt you while you level up and unlock more.

Once you have a buzzard/savage (or are playing with someone who has them) you can spam the regular missions like 'Los Santos Connection' or 'Judging the Jury' to get pretty good money pretty quickly. This is usually more reliable than hesists if you don't have a group to play with.

One last thing I would say makes a difference is selling cars at the upgrade place. Once every game day (about 48 minutes) you can sell one for 2~8 thousand. Just steal one off the street in between lobbies while you're in freemode and killing time, then turn it in. 2 minutes work for a few thousand dollars.

Do the contact missions as a starter. They get you used to the mechanics of the game, and they are fun for, the most part. Once you get experience with the contact missions, move on to the heists where you can make much bigger money.

After that, worry about CEO.
