You woke up one day and decided that you wanted to be your own boss and work your own hours. Congrats! You are now free to make money online solo in GTA 5. You can take advantage of the second screen on your console to keep track of your vehicles and take orders. All you need is a laptop, an internet connection, and some basic tools to get started.
GTA 5
First things first, you need to decide which version of GTA 5 you will be using. The base title is free, however, some additional content and vehicles are available for purchase via IAP. If you decide to go this route, make sure to do some research into the prices and availability of the different cars and trucks before committing. There are a lot of cheaters out there who try to trick you into purchasing in-game items with real money. You don’t want to get scammed, so it’s best to know what to watch out for. Also, make sure you are running the latest version of GTA 5 because there are a lot of improvements and changes that have been made in the game since it was released in 2012.
Laptop
To play solo, you will need a laptop because all the graphics and computing power is on your end. You can also get pre-made laptop skins to make the experience more seamless. If you are worried about overheating or your laptop getting damaged, then either choose a different model or invest in a cooling mat or fan. If you decide to go the latter route, make sure to remove the protective film on the surface to allow proper air flow.
Internet Connection
If you decide to go the independent contractor route, then you will need to have an internet connection just to make sure that you can access the resources that you need. Depending on the state that you live in, you may have limited or no internet access without paying a service provider. If you do have internet access, then make sure to hide your IP address because people who play online games usually try to hunt down individual players. They will then use the information to jack up the price of ads shown to you or to bombard your inbox with unwanted spam.
Linux
If you have a bit of a tech-savvy side, then you can install Linux on your laptop. It’s a free operating system that powers most servers on the internet. All you need to do is download the right software package from the internet to get started. Once you have it installed, you can use the Terminal (command line) to access the resources that you need. For example, let’s say that you want to mine crypto-currencies like Bitcoin. You can use the Terminal to navigate to the folder where the mining software is stored. Once you are in the folder, you can use the command line to specify the settings for your PC to connect to the mining server. You will need to research the correct settings for your PC because the software will not operate on all devices. To save time you can use the Terminal to automate the process of mining. For example, let’s say that you want to mine Bitcoins every day at 3:00 pm. You can create a script in the Terminal that will automatically do this for you. Now when you boot up your laptop at 3:00 pm, you will see the word “Bitcoin” associated with your name in the chat window. Cool, right?
Tools
Depending on which route you went to make money online, you will need basic tools to get the job done. Some of the most common tools that you will need are a wrench to open up your car’s hood, a Phillips head screwdriver to open up your own home, a saw to cut down trees and other large objects, hedge trimmers for cutting down all the weeds around your home, and so on. Make sure to get all the proper tools for the job as hand tools will make things a lot easier. If you don’t have access to the proper tools, then try to find a few things around your house that you can use. It’s always best to have the correct tool for the job rather than using a makeshift one because you never know when something might break down. Also, make sure that all the tools that you get are in good condition because you won’t want to end up using tools that are broken or worn out. This will make things a lot more difficult. Don’t underestimate the value of a good set of tools. They will make your life a lot easier and more enjoyable.
The Second Screen
If you have a TV, then you can take advantage of the second screen to monitor both the TV and your laptop. This is especially useful if you have multiple moniter displays because you can then show different content on each one. You don’t have to be bound to one device exclusively anymore. The second screen also provides you with a larger display area so that you can have a better view of what you are doing. If you are playing online, then you can also take advantage of devices like the Xbox One or Google Home, which have a small screen that you can use to interact with the game. Just keep in mind that these devices are also connected to the internet, so you will need to have an internet connection just to play.
Once you are set up and ready to go, then all you need to do is take care of business. The days of babysitting kids and looking after the home are over. You can now work independently or in a team to take care of finances, sales, and deliveries. All you need are keen eyes and a good set of hands to take care of whatever comes your way. You can find full-time work in your chosen field or use your skills to make extra money online. The choice is yours.
