This is not something you can repeat over and over but the $5,000-$6,000+ you can get, is more than enough to buy all of the camp upgrades and most of the useful recipes. Progress through the story and eventually, not too long after you reach the second camp near Rhodes, a bank mission will pop up. If you choose to crack the safe instead of blowing it, you get more cash. It's a very easy mission and rewards you with a few thousand dollars – far quicker than trying to grind the cash prior to this.

After you've done that, you want to do the treasure maps. Maps such as the Poisonous Trail, Jack Hall Gang and High Stakes treasure maps all reward you with Gold Bars. These are worth a small fortune if you sell them to a fence.

Combine these two money-making activities and you can avoid most of the money grind and get straight to the How To Make Money Fast In Red Dead Redemption 2.

Now operating under the guise of Editor-in-Chief (purely because we felt the position was needed for public relations purposes), he's tasked with a lot of the kind of jobs that would put you to sleep at your desk.
