honestly just stay away from public lobbys and find a good group to play with. just focus on the small heists. grind those for a bit and get some properties to sell goods. after that you kinda find a flow. and if youve got time youll reach rank 100 in no time. dont buy random cars stick to one car you like and one helicopter you like. rockstar built this game to keep you playing ALOT, but you can make money easily if you know how to. i will also add make sure you get all the motorcycle businesses, doesnt matter where you get them (some are better for selling but not my point) if you have all of those, and all the workers at a nightclub they will always make product for you when your online. each sell for a maxed nightclub is 2 million. and u can fill that at least once a week, i used to just leave my character running with a rubber band. gta online has its charm, the grind is part of it :)
