Blackhat or Whitehat - Which One Do You Wear?

By Ben Holmes

I've often come across 'Blackhat' methods of earning money... 'Blackhat' basically meaning 'dishonest'. For example, you can post ads on Craigslist - "Beautiful & Lonely 18 Year Old Girl Looking for Fun Guys" - then set up an autoresponder to answer all replies with the message "Sorry I'm not here right now, I'm gone for a few days to my Grandmother's house - but please go -here- (dating affiliate link) and sign up, then look for me under the name "CuteVirgin" - I'll be looking forward to meeting you!". Will this make you money? Absolutely. And I know that some of you reading this will immediately start to look up Craigslist, and find a dating CPA offer.

But this simply goes to your character. I long ago made the decision that if I couldn't show my mother what I was doing, then I simply shouldn't be doing it. So earning money from the porn industry was clearly out of the question. Ditto with 'Blackhat' methods of doing business. It's not that I don't recognize that there's a tremendous amount of money to be made from dishonesty - it's just that I'd rather sleep well at night, and feel good about what I'm doing.

You can make excellent money with honest methods of doing business - and in the long run, I suspect that 'Whitehat' methods will turn up more profits. Many 'Blackhatters' are constantly flitting from one scheme to another - as one gets closed down, they move to the next. In the meantime, I'm slowly building up my business using entirely honest whitehat methods, and it will never be closed down to me.

So this is a decision that everyone must make for themselves - whether to lie & cheat for extra money, or to be honest and above board. As for me, the answer is clear. What do you say?
