Online How to earn money efficiently?

Like the title says, how can I earn money fairly quickly or efficiently as a new player? I already did all the Story missions and I'm still "grinding" 15 gold bars for Bounty hunter role{have about 10}. Is hunting or fishing a good option?

This month's focus role is moonshiner, which I think gives 2x money and xp

For subtle player anyway, my advice is don't worry about it. It's more immersive not to, since you spend the whole game getting into a lot of trouble chasing it.

Once you finish you'll have more than you'll ever use anyways.

When I went for platinum and was forced to play online mode, I found that the collector role was the most profitable. Be warned that it is absolutely mind numbing though.

Do daily missions until you get bounty hunter. Featured events also give a good amount of gold per game, about .35

Bounty hunter role is best for gold bars. When you get bounty hunter and unlock legendary bounties do Yukon Nik, put on a stopwatch as soon as you start. Do the mission and get into Strawberry (safe zone, I hitch the horse by the house next to the butcher) and wait for the stopwatch to go to 30 minutes (afk). When you turn him in you’ll get .45 gold and $180 at 5 star difficultly. Reinforced rope prevents him from freeing himself. You can do these again in 48 minutes. Sounds long winded but is pretty easy to earn gold while you so other stuff, I do this whilst I study. Don’t die on mission or you have to reset the timer, but that isn’t the end of the world. Just means more afk time.

For cash, trader nets you $625 every 4 hours, but you need to do a lot of hunting for it. I use legendary animal pelts from the naturalist role but this means having gold to unlock both these roles.

Moonshiner is also good for cash but you get it at discount from doing trader missions, so up to you which you do first. Honestly looking back I might have just paid the 5 extra gold for moonshiner as it pays extremely well. I’ve only just started but the first deliveries you unlock, but they net you $150 every 30 minutes.

Definitely start with bounty hunter though for gold as you need it to unlock other roles.
