The creator, Jonathan Silva, emphasizes that the real opportunity lies in capturing the massive global attention on the game's release, rather than in the game itself. He targets audiences who cannot afford the game or console, offering methods like content clipping, trivia videos, gameplay, news updates, and reaction videos. ### Key Points - **GTA 6 Hype and Attention** [00:02] — The trailer for GTA 6 received over 100 million views in less than a day, demonstrating massive global attention.

The whole world is practically glued to this, GTA 6, which will run on PS5, obviously, and you know that, right? Warning, it's money. Just so you know, the trailer for this game got over 100 million views in less than a day, okay? This isn't hype, this is a hunger for content. People this video I'm going to show you exactly how I'm going to make money with GTA 6, even though I don't even like the game. Seriously, I don't like GTA V. It's not that I don't like it, I just don't play it, okay? I bought it, I tried to play it, but it's just everything's alright, okay? And even so, I'm going to make money with it. I bought GTA V a while ago. I might not even buy GTA 6, but I'll still make some cocoa with it. I'm sure GTA 6 will bring in new but they will be rich, they'll have a good income, they'll help their families earn 10,000, 15,000 a month. I don't know exactly, but the question is: are you going to be one of them or your phone watching videos from the people who are producing them? While you're scrolling through this TikTok feed, there are 16 and 17-year-old kids building a channel, a profile from scratch based on this, on a game. The they'll make money from it. Because, guys, look, the money isn't in this . The money isn't in the game, the money is in the attention. And the attention of the entire world will be focused on the release of this game. My name is Jonathan Silva and in this video I'm going to tell you five ways to make money with GTA 6 without even buying the game. And my goal here is to help you for free, okay? Since Rockstar charged practically R$ 500, Rockstar charged practically R$ 500, R$ 450 or R$ 550 for the pre-order of this game, which by the way people had to wait 146 days to be able to play paying, you'll have to wait six months before you can play the game. That amount alone would cut off most Brazilians' livelihoods, okay? For those who don't have the money to buy the run the game. Millions of people are waiting for the release of this game millions of people don't own the console, and yet both of these audiences will still put money in your pocket. Remember that leak back in 2022 where someone inside Rockstar leaked 90 videos of GTA 6 while it was still in development? The hacker's name is this one. He was 18 years old at the time, and he did it. And does Rockstar know what she did? Nothing. She neither confirmed nor denied the leak. And she just let the internet theorize about everything. She just let it go to see. And man, that was the biggest proof that the game's energy level was very high, even far from launch The first way I'm going to make money with GTA 6 is through hacking. So basically, I'm going to wait for the big players, the big game content creators, to create content about games, which will probably be live, OK? I'm going to record my screen, I can even do it with my cell phone. I'm going to record the screen and I'm going to cut this out. I'm going to post it, look, let's go, on TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Kawai, and Instagram. These four social media platforms pay per view, and since the game is going to be so hyped, there's going to be no shortage of views. I'm sure of it. You can choose the best moments happened in the game, which, being a new release, will probably have a few other bugs. Anyone who's live streaming will capture this bug live, and if you 're screen recording, you'll catch the bug, post it on your social media, and maybe you'll be the first to post about this bug that happened on TikTok, YouTube, Kawai, and Instagram. That's the good thing . One haircut, a job you do once, you can enhance it four times over. All four platforms will pay you. And making cuts is precisely the right way to start gaining an audience. Because I know, I know your question is, Jonatas, I'm not going to start because first, I don't have a console and second, because I don't have an audience. You're saying that because you have millions of followers, but I didn't start out that way. I also started with zero followers and my channel is a face, which is actually a positive point, I won't appear and I'll be starting from scratch. What you can also do is open multiple accounts, different names and post the cuts, there's absolutely no problem with that. After I post, monetize, and everything else, a tip is to start showing your face so you start appearing and that way you build loyalty with those people. When the while, okay? Because it's a release that's been anticipated for 13 years, but when that release is over, when the hype dies down, you can put other games in between and create a community, and then you'll have your own audience. As long as it's a want. Once you show your face, you have to be careful about what build a community. I can even teach you this, but the focus is on starting now, because one way or another you're going to gain an audience, because people, literally everyone , are searching for GTA 6 and believe me, most people can't afford the game, and that's why they're going to search to find out what the game is like, at least. If this has opened because I bring you lots of insights and videos practically every day— things you'd pay to learn. I'll teach you here for free, okay? TikTok accounts, I can even show you the balance I've made in the last few days, okay? Let me just lower the brightness here. Look, today I made If I look at the last week, look, how much did I make approximately? That's practically R$4,000, right? This is within TikTok, okay? More specifically, on TikTok. shop, okay? For those who don't know, I use artificial intelligence to that sell for me. It's very similar to the haircuts, okay? Because I small thing, and then I post it again on my profiles, dark profiles where I don't appear. The good thing about having dark profiles is today. So, today I have several profiles: one profile talks about women's fashion, another about men's clothing, another about gadgets, and so on . And I don't link my face to it, okay? I use artificial intelligence for this. tool I use to generate these videos in the pinned comment. The second way I'm going to make money with GTA 6 is through EEGs (eggs/curiosities). Remember when I told you that content creators, at least the biggest ones, will be doing a live stream at the game's launch? So you can pick up on the steregs or some interesting detail you're seeing in the live stream, and you noticed, "Wow, this guy said something interesting about this location on the map, for example, or about this character." What am I going to do? I'm going to capture that moment, obviously, I'll do some more research on the character, and I'll make a dark video and YouTube channel, my Instagram, and my Kawai. Instagram doesn't monetize yet, okay? Forgiveness. Kawai also monetizes YouTube. TikTok also has monetization, and Instagram doesn't yet, arrives here in Brazil. It's likely that trivia and secrets about the game isn't too difficult, okay? Just so you have an idea, when the GTA 6 trailer was released, man, in less than two days the whole GTA 6 community came together to find the STGS. So , if in a video that, let's say, not everyone saw, people already found the STGs and started sharing it, you can imagine in a game that has an open world, bigger and everything else, so there will always be more STGs. If these content creators don't show interesting facts, ignore everything; just Google it. Dude, there are tons of websites that show steregs on a specific map, steregs in a city, steregs for a specific character. All you have to do is grab it and create a video. Olivia's STGs. It's over, the crowd will watch. Why? Because it's new. And one of the secrets here is that every GTA 6 video, from now on, pre-order until release and even after release, the algorithm of these social networks will reveal a lot. Not because the algorithm is benevolent, but because people are searching more about this topic. So, if there's a lot of demand, people want to watch. The algorithm, oh, it delivers it to everyone and even more people. And that's how you monetize an account. Dude, I've already started posting videos about GTA 6 here, and let me tell you, the first videos impressive. The third way to make money with GTA 6, and think about it a bit, is to buy the game and record gameplay. I know from someone who's recording, playing, or streaming, it's good because it's already done, right? You take the reaction of the guy who's famous with the game, who's also famous, you put it in a clip and post it and boom, I can have my own gameplay, if my favorite content creator went there and he went the right path on the map and I want to go the left path or vice versa and I won't be able to because it's a live stream, so by having my own game, by controlling my character here with this joystick, that's it, I'll control whatever I want in that game, man. In fact, this joystick is a gameplay channel can be born from scratch, okay? And this happens all the time, especially now in GTA 6. Oh, Jonathan, but you're telling me that a lot of people are going to start creating content, a lot of people are going to start live streams, watch anymore. On the contrary, people who don't know how to do a live stream, people who do it haphazardly, or who start a live stream, grab the controller, put the game on the screen and just stand there, well, nobody's going to watch, because you don't have any reaction. People aren't seeing your empathy, your kindness, your enthusiasm, are they? So, if you're going to start a live stream the way you are, man, if you're funny, grab a close friend, put them next to you, and start a live stream with a camera, obviously, so people can see the two of you having a good time, love it, it's gonna get good reviews. In other words, the people who didn't buy the game and the create cuts. And if your live stream is good, if it's funny, people will create game? I know there are still many people who believe there's no room for new streamers. Ah, there are already too many people doing live streams, there's no space left. That's a lie. Every now and then a new streamer emerges with something different. Whether it's their speech, their hair, their face, their way of speaking, or even having a stutter, for example. It's a curious thing. You have to understand that the big streamers have been doing live streams practically every week for a long time. So it's the same format, it's the same person, it's the same everything, okay? The same games and everything else. When someone new starts playing a new game, man, the chance of you launch is much higher than if you start a live stream when the game is two or three show up however you like, okay? The fact that you don't compete with anyone, you build customer loyalty, because you end up becoming the new thing. The fourth way is to talk about news and updates. When I say " talk," I mean you can either appear on appearing here, or you can create a Dark account on Instagram, or you can create a teach here on the channel—it's what I teach most here. You can create a YouTube channel where you appear commenting here, for example, recording your camera and taking small clips of gameplay from other people and putting them in your video. That's okay what news and updates are you going to talk about ? So, maybe there'll be a ? So, maybe there'll be a pet update that shows a certain city, the problem, Rockstar had to fix it, for example, because look at the size of this gigabytes you need to download this game. That's a lot, brother. So, can you imagine a game this size having no bugs? I know it's been several years of development, but even so, it's a lot, man, it's a lot of files, man. And then you can make videos like, oh, what's coming in GTA 6, what you didn't see in GTA 6, new GTA 6 character, what character X says in the game, game who disappeared. Do you understand? Since the GTA games follow a chronological order, as it's a franchise, you could perhaps even make videos about GTA V, with gameplay footage , but mentioning GTA 6 at the beginning, for example. And the fifth way, this one I 'll probably do too, because GTA 6 will be hyped. And dude, anyone who doesn't take advantage of the GTA 6 hype is going to be left behind, you just have to do a reaction video. Jonathan, but hey, are you telling me that React is going to be good, React is going to deliver, React is boring, man? It is not. If you knew how many reaction videos there are right now , open your feed to get an idea. Dude, React's figo is practically the rice and beans – everyone knows how to make it and the algorithm delivers it. Why? The algorithm doesn't look at your reaction, the algorithm looks at how you're reacting. So, if I, who am not even that famous, put my face up and down, you know, in a bigger space, I put here a GTA 6 gameplay, a bug that happened, man, people will pay attention to that and won't since my face is there, it's going to become more recognizable, and people are going to start stopping to watch me because, wait, I watched a video of this Jonathan guy, wow, that he shows up for me, I'll stop to watch too, because he's interesting and I become interesting. So, think about it this way too, put your own stamp on it, put your own style into your content, edit it, do React, and is still very well delivered by the algorithm, man. And the effort is practically zero, okay? To give you an idea, if you tell me that React isn't worth it, that React is useless, that it has no future, well, let me tell you something, you know Casé TV that's broadcasting the 2026 World Cup right now? Guess how it started? React. React in his room. That's it. The webcam is a really mistaken, was the headset here, right? Very weak as well. And the background, his setting, was his room, and he had only just begun. Perhaps if he hadn't exist, for example. So, look at the butterfly effect of that. So, React is no silly thing. Now I want you to put these five shapes together, okay? You can find trailers for GTA 6, even some gameplay videos of GTA V, maybe modified ones, anyway, start creating content, because people are searching for this stuff in droves . I'm creating content about this game myself. Check out this video. GTA 6 is the biggest attention-grabber in the coming years. The only certainty we have is that Rockstar will make billions in the coming years because of this game. Now the question is: are you going to take your share? I'm not going to say "take a Rockstar, but you're going to get your slice, so to speak. You're going to participate in this movement on the right side, which is the side that's creating, generating content, monetizing, or on the side that's just consuming, either buying the game and just playing it, or just watching TikTok videos of the game, for example. In both cases, you're wasting your time and wasting your money too. I know your family might need you right now, but I also know everyone you love. And here's one way you can change your game. You can at least start to change your game. Look at Casimiro, for example, he's a practical example of this. He started in his bedroom with what he had, and he World Cup games competing with Globo, with Rede Globo television. So I want you to stop watching others profiting here. Keep watching, but also apply it. If you don't start doing it, if you don't do it, men, nobody feels sorry for us, okay? I can feel him saying that. So, if you get sad, if you get tired, man, nobody's going to knock on your door. Hey there, how's it going? Okay, are you tired? It is fine? Nobody, man. Nobody. So please, do it for yourself, because nobody else will. Just for being here watching this video and watching it all the way to the end, you already deserve my congratulations, okay? Because you're genuinely seeking to learn. So do this: choose one of these five things, and start today. If videos with artificial intelligence, for example, maybe even news or pinned comment. TokFy is the tool I use to generate videos that sell for me every day within TikTok Shop. And if you want to use the same tools to make videos for GTA 6, you know what to do, right? The world will be looking GTA 6, you know what to do, right? The world will be looking at GTA 6 no matter what.
