First of all, welcome to the community. Please make sure you read the rules multiple times so you don't get in trouble for breaking rules which may lead to a ban. 

Now, if you know all the rules, then you can start your journey to being the richest man/women on Altis. If you have already started Altis Life, don't worry, you can always catch on where you are later on this thread. Now I'm going to expect that most people who is reading this has only just joined this community so you should have £100000 in your bank account. What you need to do first is go to the DVLA in Kavala and pick up your Driving Licence. Once you have your driving licence, go to the car dealer and go and buy yourself your first Off-road which will start you earning money.

Then get in your brand new car and head over to Apple Trees. Hold Windows key to start harvesting apples and when your inventory is ful, you will get a notification in the top right of your screen. Go near your truck and press T while looking at it, on the right side click the apples you want to transfer in the truck, and put how many apples should be transferred at the bottom and your off-road will now have apples in it. Keep on doing this process until your off-road is full by looking at the weight in the top right of the T menu. Once full, head over to the market where you can sell your apples and make your first income, once you have the money, put it in the ATM before you get robbed or killed. @TCK Clarityhas a great video on how to do apples here Link

After doing multiple Apple runs, you should have enough money to buy yourself a new truck. Go over to the DVLA again and buy the truck licence. Once you have your truck licence, go over to the truck shop and buy a Zamak Covered. This truck will help you get your first million very quick. Once you have brought your truck, go to the general store where you can buy yourself a pickaxe. Now, you have two options, you can do copper where you will get more money than the other option but there is a high chance of being robbed or you can do Oil which was the route I chose and you still get good money and rarely get robbed. 

To mine copper, drive over to the copper mine. Press Y, click on your pickaxe and then press use. Keep doing this until your inventory is full. Once your truck is full, head over to the copper processor with 20k I believe (been a long time) where you can buy your processing licence. Process your truck then head over to copper trader. Sell your copper quick then drive to the nearest ATM and put your money in your bank account so it's safe.

To do Oil, it's the same process, head over to oil extraction and mine your oil and fill your truck up. Then head over to Oil processing where you need around 20k again to purchase your processing licence. Process all your oil and go to Oil Exports where you can sell your oil and once again, put all your money inside your bank account.

Now for the next good couple of days, you are going to need to keep doing this process to get enough money to start your riches. It might get a bit boring at the start but the time will be worth it. Once you have about 1 million, you are going to buy your first heli. Go to the Airport in Athira where you will buy the Humming Bird. The humming bird is around 250k half price so pick one up then and you now have your first helicopter. Now, you are going to want to buy your rebel licence. Head over to Rebel #1 and buy your rebel licence but be careful because if there are unfriendly people there, they will kill you because it is a KOS zone. Buy your rebel licence for 500k and then you are ready to become a full rebel with big guns. Buy yourself a MK20 for 50k half price or buy a vermin or TRG if on a really tight budget, this will give you some protection. Now head out of the rebel before you get killed and go and carry on getting more money so you can buy big trucks to earn huge payouts.

Now, you should have enough money now to join a gang. Try and join a small gang first where most of the people are at your stage and will want to work together. If you all do an iron run with guns, you should be fine or you can do oil to be safe. You could also try doing weed which has around 1.1 million payout per hemmt box however if the police catch you, your truck will be scrapped by the police and your truck will be gone forever. 

Keep doing what your doing, join bigger gangs like TCK and Vendetta. Then what you do is completely up to you, you can kidnap cops, rob people etc. 

Once you feel that you are now dedicated to this community, maybe joining the police or NHS would appeal to you. While your police, you are not allowed to do illegal activities except from having a vermin which is an illegal rifle while not on duty however you get extremely good money and free weapons. Or you can join the NHS, you are allowed to do rebel activities but from my experience, it gets a bit boring but that's up to you to decide. 

More videos will be coming soon if @TCK Claritydoesn't mind posting them on here too.

@shambala12great post! ...just in the middle of doing the final finishing touches on a new video, should be up within the next hour or so, really exited to share this one, its going to be great for new players and it isn't a very common method either and is very overlooked and underrated. stay tuned people :p

 
Great guide for newbies.  I'll add a few important tips that I learned the hard way when I was new.

1. Always assume you're going to get robbed, even outside rebel territory.

2. Keeping tip 1 in mind, NEVER carry cash on you. Keep it in the bank and withdraw ONLY when you're about to make a purchase and the area is clear.

3. Always scout the area near your purchase vendor for other people BEFORE you withdraw your cash. If there's other people there, wait until they've gone. 

4. Safety in numbers! Try to do all of SGT Shambala12 tips with a friend or even better friends.

Another thing I found vital was to purchase a cheap house and storage create as soon as you can. Without it, you have nowhere to store your gear. Nothing kills the mood more than buying your first handgun to lose it 10 mins later when some idiot shoots you.  Buy a few hand guns and ammo and store them in your house.

There's probably a lot more I could add, but these tips will hopefully prevent a ragequit :D

I must still be pretty noobish then.. because I pretty much do the opposite to all of those.. whoops 

 
It's a nice guide @SGT Shambala12 - It compliments mine somewhat - I don't even touch on any illegal stuff, as I don't do it and have no idea on joining rebels etc.  

If I could add a minor criticism, it would be formatting. Maybe break them down into Major Steps. It's hard to read a wall of text!

I was hoping to get someone to do an Esqy-Style write up on the baddie side of Altis - How to rob, housebreak, knock people out, scrap cars and how to do any of the tasks for a shipwreck - And then add it to my Newbie post. (Fully credited of course)

 
You could also try doing weed which has around 1.1 million payout per hemmt box however if the police catch you, your truck will be scrapped by the police and your truck will be gone forever. 
Just thought it would be beneficial to add that you can still roleplay your way out of this if you get lucky with your cops and how you first act with them - be very friendly with them, if you're at the weed field act as if you don't think you're doing anything illegal, etc. - just make up an interesting story.

Exactly this. You also have a challenge (Should you choose to accept it) - try NOT to use 'Its medicinal marijuana' as your excuse. It's literally the 1st excuse on the list, and is not as creative as you think!

Fixed 😆
