I make around 9-10k a month, but this comes with a disclaimer that it didnt happen overnight, and i am constantly honing my techniques. I anticipate starting March I could possibly start tripling that amount. One thing I have learned is that implementing black hat methods for other peoples businesses/products is more lucrative than trying to duplicate my own efforts. For example through my "consulting" company I have offered black hat to several legitimate online and offline companies. You wouldnt believe the astonishment when sharing just a tenth of what can be done. I cut a deal taking a percentage of the sales and I keep it moving. The business grows through word of mouth and I become a marketing guru offline. I have made some good deals with legitimate companies. We all need to think of this Blackhat ability as a legitimate skill/trade, when you look at it that way you begin to see the possibilities.....
