Blackhat is a means to an end

I’ve tried enough methods (private and public) and seen them patched to know that blackhat is in a decline. It’s not dieing, it’s just getting harder and harder and the reward is getting smaller and smaller.

At the moment I make good money on youtube and some affiliate sites but today I’ve decided to accept blackhat as a means to an end.



In this journey, I have 3 objectives:

(1)Improve my existing Video production skills.
I’m pretty familiar with Adobe Premiere, Adobe After Effects, and Adobe Photoshop but would like to improve.


(2)Take this computer science course:

At the moment I’m on week 2 of this course and I love it. If you're interested in computer science I'd really recommend it! The course is hard and concepts can get frustrating at times but the lecturer is amazing and you can always rewind when you need extra time to understand something.


(3)Maintain my current sites and youtube channel



I’ll update on my progress daily, except for weekends.

This journey should last 3 months and when it's over I'll design a new journey with new objectives.



Thanks for reading this far. Whoever you are I wish you the best of luck on your journey!

good luck ... I also think that the action for doing much in the internet is getting higher and higher.

Personally I've always sort of taken the same perspective. In my experience, the things that reward me the most are the things I put the most time and energy into. The more I learn, the more skills I have to leverage. It does not matter if it's blackhat seo, whitehat seo, or physics. It's all just learning. I think your insights and direction are great!

I think you are wrong here buddy. Since it's turninn much harder everyday, not everyone will try to stick doing it. So it will increase the reward since some niches will not be spammed to death.

Your title triggered me for someone reason, Best of luck OP.

Best of luck in your journey.

It is great you're getting more and more views every day, I wish you just all the best. As for the Photoshop, I do often use it for my blog, too.
