Easy money
Create an invite only game session. Then, go to any store, and rob it. Punch the clerk, and they will run off. Take all the money in the cash register. Next, enter the Start menu, and go to Xbox Live Marketplace, as you would if you were going to purchase in-game money. As soon as Xbox Live Marketplace loads, exit it, and you will spawn back in the same store at the exact same spot, except the world will have refreshed. You can then punch the clerk again, and take the money from the cash register. Repeat this process as many times as desired. You can get approximately $100,000 an hour using this glitch.
To earn some money easily at the beginning of GTA Online without alerting the police, steal a good common car in Vinewood. Then, go to a Los Santos Customs car shop. You can sell stolen cars to car shops, but most car shops will not accept luxury sports cars, as they will say they are too hot. You will get approximately $9,000 to $10,000 for a good common car that does not have much damage. Once you have earned some money, deposit it at an ATM to avoid potentially losing it to other players or if you die. Once you have earned enough money using this method, buy some body armor and weapon customization to do heists and robberies to earn more money. It is recommended you purchase a silencer for your weapon when you have enough money so you can avoid heat from the cops.
Once you reach Rank 45, the “Mixed Up With Coke” mission will be unlocked. The rewards for completing this mission are $18,000 and 3,500 RP. It can take approximately 15 minutes to complete the mission the first few times, but once you figure it out, it can be completed with three other players in approximately one minute. Note: One player will need to be at Rank 45 to access the mission, as well as one player at Rank 19 or higher and two players at Rank 9 or higher to do the mission.
Once you reach Rank 75, the “Rooftop Rumble” mission will be unlocked from a guy named Martin Madrazo (he leads a Mexican narcotic gang in the Los Santos area). To complete the mission, you basically need to kill five people. It is possible to earn up to $2 million and 400K RP per hour by continuing to efficiently complete the mission. Note: You can also do the mission if you are at a lower rank and get invited by someone at Rank 75 or higher. If you are at a lower rank, make sure to use sticky bombs instead of the grenade launcher, and kill any survivors with a rifle.
Easy robberies and XP
Enter the restricted area at the Los Santos International Airport through the fence (jump it or drive through it) near the flight school to find three helicopters. Use the helicopters to easily escape the police after robbing stores. However, make sure the helicopter is not parked where the cashier can shoot you. Robbing and escaping the cops will also earn you easy XP. You will usually get $1,000 to $8,000 for each robbery.
Easy lower wanted level
Use a mask before committing a crime because it will enable you to easily lose one star from your wanted level once the police start chasing you. Wait until the cops cannot see you after the crime has been committed and they are pursuing you, then remove the mask. One wanted level star should immediately disappear. However, it will not have an effect if you only have one wanted level star.
Always have fighter jet access
Go to the airport in the south part of Los Santos. Switch to first person view, and enter any helicopter. Note: Do not exit first person view. Fly to the front of the airport, and locate the area that has different colored columns that surround the two plane monuments. Fly around in a circle, starting at the white column and ending with the yellow column. Tap each column in the circle with your helicopter. Your helicopter will explode when you tap the yellow column, and you will be killed. Run to the hanger in the middle of the airport. A P-966 Lazer fighter jet will now always appear in that normally empty hangar, including in future game sessions. You only have to kill yourself with the helicopter once.
Fast traveling
To quickly travel to a location across the map, select a race that is nearby to where you want to go. Then, go to the race, enter the lobby, and drop out of it. You should then spawn at the start of the race location in free roam mode.
Crowbar
Start team deathmatch in Cargo with another player. Once the match begins, go to the melee weapons on the map to find crowbars. Grab a crowbar, and complete the team deathmatch to be able to permanently keep the crowbar.
Black Mask appearance
Reach Rank 80, then go to the mask store. Purchase the Black Skull mask, then go to a clothing store. Talk to the cashier to browse the outfits. Select “Business Smart”, and purchase “The Discoteque”. You will now look similar to Black Mask from Batman: Arkham Origins .
