I'd be up for it, haven't done the heist as mentioned but have seen some videos and played hundreds of hours online.
i just got rolled for 3 lots of supplies for my coke MC business 
i play solo so i only turn over 1 load of supplies at a time, as my supplies had run out i bought supplies ($75k) then tried to sell my stock... game froze,
only option was a restart, the game had taken my $75K but the supplies never turned up and there was no $75k listed in my transaction log,
so i bought a second lot and then sold my stock, once i had finished (2 boat runs) i got a msg that my supplies had arrived but i also got the 'transaction pending' bug and so those supplies never arrived,
so i had to buy a 3rd lot,
$225k spent due to bugs n crashes
this has been happening with the bunker as well,
but with the bunker you never get raided unless it's 50%+ full.. which mine never is, so i now buy stock, then back out and save the game before choosing to sell,
it's a bit more awkward doing that with the MC business's as solo players still get raided, so i like to stay logged out as much as possible

Played this online on ps3 (ages ago now!) yet to venture online on pc is it worth it?
would you be starting from scratch? there's quite a few business's to buy and they aint cheap so there will be a lot of grinding to start with
Associate
Yes from scratch I think.
might be worth watching a few Youtube vids first as some uploaders have done some "rags to riches" videos for people starting out,
they show you how to earn some quick cash..

Cheers will take a look. Got LSPDFR installed at the moment so got to work out how to change it so I can go online.

Geez what a bloated video. That guide could be so much shorter.
As you are starting from scratch. If you have not bought it yet, buy a premium online edition.. cdkeys have it for 9.99.
This will give you a massive head start and as the game stands you need one.
It will give you a CEO office, a bunker, clubhouse a decent car and 1 million.
There is no getting away from the fact the game is geared to make R* money by making most things out of reach. However grinding can get you the starting cash to make the game easier to make money, like a Kuruma, and a Buzzard. From that point, life is a little easier.

Ah I've already got it and only the standard version.
Not a problem. How much time are you looking to put into the game?
Associate
Not sure just yet see how I like it. I've had to download the game again and rename my directory so willing to give it a good go.

Played a few hours online last night. Certainly a lot more to it than there used to be.
That will help out a lot.Got the Criminal Enterprise Start Pack.
Don't worry about the locations of the bunker. For the time being, I would set it to research as there are some items you will need at a later date.
You should have a frogger chopper. You can use that for VIP work solo and getting about in. Easy money is seeker, use the chopper, done in less than 5 mins.
Currently, biker sales are times 2. However, in true R* style, the upgrades for businesses are so expensive the return on them is minimal at low level.
Do you have a Twitch Prime account? If you have the Rainforest Prime. set up a twitch account, link it to prime, then link prime to your Social Club account and that is worth 200K a week. Easy money for nothing.
Use the Helicopter to complete the treasure hunt and Mauds bounty missions. Both give you items (Revolver and a hatchet) with lots of RP and 250K each when you complete the item tasks. Do them in the contact mission "Pier pressure" There you can run around the pier, and the beachfront killing as many people as your murderous heart desires without the cops showing up.
Make sure you spin the Casino wheel each day.
Also, do the flight school. Its good money and RP and helps bring up your stats.
If you are interested in your stats, some of them are easy to increase, just a time sink. Driving is easy, just drive on the wrong side of the road along the hard shoulder. Flight, just nick an aircraft and keep on landing it as LSA. So basically bunny hop up and down the runway. Strenth, fight people in pier pleasure mission. Walking around in stealth mode does that one. Stamina, ride a bike, run. Lung capacity. Swim under water.
Check out the GTA Online Reddit. There are loads of tips in the FAQ's and always the most efficient ways to make money.
I would avoid Doomsday Heists for the time being as they are a pain at low level with minimal vests. See if you can get some normal Heist invites. However, buy a Heavy armour combat vest. this gives you greater protection in these heists, A lot more. Only works in them though.
Oh and if you want a solo public session for whatever reason.....
Alt-tab out of GTA. Open up Resource monitor, click on the memory tab, locate the GTAV process, Right click, Suspend process for 6-7 seconds, then restart process, back to GTA. That should empty the lobby and you will be alone.. This can be helpful if the lobby is a mess and you just want to get on and do solo free roam stuff.
