Yes, for sure. Rotating definitely makes a difference since it helps optimize earning. The main thing to know is that you have two types of businesses in GTA Online - Passive and Active. The passive businesses like the Nightclub safe, Agency safe, and Arcade safe, just fill up on their own over time before they cap out. So there's no rush or active participation required with these. You only really start losing money once a safe is full and still generating, so checking them once per session or every few hours is plenty.

For the Nightclub, the technicians are some of the best earners. They basically auto produce goods in your warehouse as long as you own the linked business (for example, a bunker or MC labs). So for Nigthclub just occasionally do its popularity missions to keep it high.

Now for the active businesses like the Bunker, Acid Lab and MC Businesses. You need to be a lot more active on these because you need to constantly resupply, wait and then sell the produce. Now that waiting period is where you can do other stuff to optimize. So what you can do is (just an example but you min-max based on what businesses you own):

1 - Login and collect all your passive income (safe), and then resupply your active businesses (bunker or acid lab etc). 2 - While waiting for it to resupply and produce, do some other missions like maybe Contact missions, payphone hits, cargo work, or even a heist. 3 - Whenever the stock is full in any of your businesses, sell it. Just sell it in a private lobby to avoid griefers.

As for what to prioritize, the Acid Lab is usually the most efficient and solo friendly since it’s cheap to resupply and normally only needs one sell vehicle. The Nightclub is the best long term passive earner, but only if you own the feeder businesses to supply it.

And if it feels like you never have money, double check that your businesses are actually upgraded and linked to the Nightclub, since an unupgraded or unlinked setup earns a fraction of what it should. Hope this helps!
