How to earn money in Schedule 1
These are the best tips to boost your cash and online balance to the millions and unlock achievements quickly.
Target high-spenders and hike up your prices when selling drugs
When listing products for sale, you’ll first need to set a base asking price. While you can stick with the default, it’s better to raise the price, consider increasing it by 1.6x, and customers will still buy them.
Within the city, some customers are willing to pay significantly more than others, like Jessi Waters. Make note of these high-spenders and avoid assigning them to your dealers. By keeping them for direct sales, you can charge $20 to $30 more, or even over $100 in some cases. If you don’t want to identify them yourself, we’ve got a guide that highlights the best customers for each dealer.
Do not hire dealers early on
Unless you’re juggling multiple tasks or managing several properties, it’s better to sell drugs yourself before relying on dealers. Dealers take a 20% cut and can’t increase prices, which means less profit for you.
Casino Can Also Help With Earning Money
If you’re looking to make some quick cash, head to the Casino where you can try your luck at a few gambling games. Currently, there are three available: Slots, Ride the Bus, and Blackjack. Ride the Bus and Blackjack offer a bit of fun and payout with each win. But if you’d rather gamble without much thought, Slots is the easiest way to throw in some cash and hope for a win.
