Title: Money Making Schemes
Post by: GeeWizz on April 30, 2009, 04:15:46 am
Being new to the server, I've yet to find a paticular way I like making money yet.

I made this thread with the hope that member can post ways to make decent money.

[So far I know of being a Medic]

I'll help :poke:


1.  Loan players money with intrest.
2.  Deal Drugs
3.  Deal Guns
4.  Gamble


Can't think of many more, weed is a good industry to start off in.  Just don't interfere with my workings, or you=dead ;)  (In-game, of course).

Thanks for your contribution.  :)

Deal Drug is a very good way but is risky as you have to fight off rival dealers..
Dealing Guns samething all the big Mafia's are hustling smalltimers so watch your back and have someone with you.
Gambling good but watch for scammers, always ask Admin to watch over.

2 choices:

1. Being criminal, Doing crimes, Illegal business, etc. (Earn lot money and fast)
2. Being good citizen, police, doing legal things, legal business, etc. (Earn lot money, but low speed)

Check SA:MP Group for gangs/groups/mobs/mafia/etc. and Medic/Driver/Fisherman/etc.
Check ARPD (http://arpd.argonathrpg.com) for Police
Or join police family & legal corporation, >>!HerE!<< (http://www.alterliscorporation.co.cc)

The best way. Period.


Deal RP drugs. You can always find decent RPers that buy them.

I would say, choose a job that you can perform well.

If you drive good, be a taxi driver or a chaffeur (eg. for a mafia don, they always have cash)
If you are good in chasing people, join the police force.
If you're calm, patient, yet creative and you shoot good, try being a hitman for hire.

It basically depends on your skills I would say.

QFT. I began as a medic and really roleplayed it. It was is and always will be the best way. As of now I have set up a real estate firm and do occasional concerts with a rock band! In short--> Roleplay.

If you want to make a quick and fast money you might consider doing illegal businesses. Doing illegal business such as drug dealing, weapons dealing etc2 is a quick way to make money but the risk is if you get caught by SAPD or FBI, then too bad that is the risk in doing illegal business.

If you want to make money by being a police member, DO NOT expect to get money quickly. You can make a living out of police work but it is not easy.

But as cDa has stated, above all this the most important key here is to role play.

Example:

I earned 100k in 1 year by being police  ;)

Yes, as cDa and Pixy said, Role Play

Buy a car for 400k and sell for 700k or so... tbh is the only way of making money real quick. That, or win an event (DD, race, lotto etc).

A much funnier way to get money is to roleplay, because you may not get LOTS of cash in a short time, but at least gives the game a point else than selling and buying stuff.

Growing weed and selling it on the streets is a fair easy job, can be well roleplayed, and you always get a profit out of it. It is also a very basic job, the only thing you have to worry about is to do deals far away from cops.

Being a cop, well, you can't make much money out of it, but it is very fun too.

Try doing that nowadays, most people are so ignorant they don't even bother to buy RP'd good from new players.  Saying this it only applies to a handful of people who don't like spending money.

The problem is that I already charge quite a bit for my Lasagnes, not to mention that the /ad's are very expensive when you make a few of them.

real $ is in Real Estate, although you have to build Capital before you can invest and sell.

Been /ad'ing RP Drugs for two days straight and not had one single warning, saying that i'd usualy advertise something like "Selling - Sherbet Power & Crystal Rocks Confectionary" it's enough to fool people to make them beleive am selling Candy.  When infact am sellling Drugs.

Kidnapped multiple SAPD Officers and even the Chief before and most i got was a measly 10,000$.

DD, yes if you want to wait in a lagged to hell line then time you get in your Vehicle is ruined and if you get out it, it'll eventually disappear.  Even if you do get in with decent CarHP you still have to deal with all the laggers that lag ram you here there and everywhere.


Like Nitr0x said if you have enough Cash buy a decent Vehicle / Business / House and try sell it for alot more, eventually you'll build up so you can purchase better stuff and sell that.  That's how so many people 800k+.  If you can't do this best bet is to either Roleplay to make cash or simply be a Cop.

Hmm.. Today I won 30k from a mini DD at the skatepark and walked out with 39 carhp so its not a bad way to earn money. Mini events, quizes and simmilar stuff are an easy way! Rp-ing ... Ah are there good RP-ers left? There are but there's the mass of people that cant speak english, that enter every server with their hack or they just start deathhmatching(or carkilling , carjacking etc. ). So thats a bad thing. When you invest into weapons and you dont have a house ... Damn thats bad  :neutral: You can lose everything in a matter of seconds and nobody cares about it so I recommends staying off weapons.

When I did that, I got warned for illegal ads, and noone bought the RP drugs, just the scripted ones..

Well I think 20 bullets (or maybe 2) of shotgun is enough, coz u can just driving to evade cop
No need to use weapons at all

Unless you want to do gunfight, robbery, kidnapping, etc.
