Unethical Ways of Making Money Online (What You Must Know as a Beginner)

Evil Ways of Making Money Online: What Newbies Should Know

Money making can be very hard online if you are a newbie. There are numerous ways of making money online, but we first need to get adapted to the techniques of making it. The methods can be good as well as evil. While I have been sharing, and will be sharing, the good ways of making money online from time to time on this blog, today for a change let me discuss some evil, devilish ways of making money online.

Before I list down the methods, I want to tell you that I am only discussing these methods for your knowledge. This post is only a brief review of how people have been making money online using evil methods. I do not recommend or condone using any of the below-mentioned methods. I do not take any responsibility for any damage that you may cause or that may be caused to you by using the mentioned methods.

Additionally: Understanding unethical methods can help you identify scams faster and avoid falling into legal or financial trouble online.

1. Making Auto Blogs or Scraper Sites

A scraper site is a site which pulls content from other sites, and an autoblog is somewhat the same thing—it pulls data from the RSS feeds of blogs. You can make a site scraper or autoblog from the many scripts available on the internet, like AutoBlogged and WPRobot. You should narrow down to a particular niche by checking the keywords in any keyword tool.

You can get a good amount of traffic using this kind of site, so you can then monetize it with Adsense and other advertising networks. The bad part is that you hardly get any backlinks to your site from other sites since your content is not original. So either you may need to do a lot of link building, or maybe open a network of such sites and link them to each other.

2. A Blog Wholly for Pay-Per-Post and Text Link Selling

Another evil way of making money easily is by making a blog wholly for pay-per-post review posts or for selling links. You could start up the blog by using free articles that you get from article directories and excerpts of news and other articles (obviously with links back). Then, after a few months, once Google has indexed your blog and you have started getting a good amount of traffic, you could start accepting review posts, selling text links, and promoting affiliate products.

3. Open Up a Proxy Site

Well, we all know that even though we talk about the internet being free, somehow we get blocked from using many of our favorite sites. Most of the time, the administration of schools, colleges, and offices decide to block social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, or web-based email and chat clients like Gmail and Yahoo Mail, because they think this may affect productivity.

But life isn’t always “all work and no play,” so many people try to access these sites with the help of proxies. Thus, proxies are quite a thriving business online. The need for proxies never ends. You could create a proxy site using any available script on the internet. A popular proxy script is CGI Proxy, which is great because it allows people to use sites that require a login. You could use it to make a proxy site and then monetize it, probably with a big 764×80 sized Adsense ad in the header which will show when people are browsing.

4. Forex Giveaway Method with Forex Affiliate Programs

Forex has always been a high-paying niche because of all the hype surrounding it—things like “you will earn $1000 per day doing nothing” or “your bot will do everything for you.” You can earn a good amount of money by promoting forex affiliate programs.

The first step is to create a simple membership site with a nice layout. You can easily do this using WordPress and some free membership plugin. Your site basically gives free membership to gain access to paid premium forex products. You can then go to ClickBank and search for forex products that are hot in the market and list them on your website.

Then create a fake registration page on your website and set it to redirect to your special monetization page. You will need to target people who do not know that these forex materials can be obtained for free through file-sharing sites. This often targets users from third-world countries, since many people in the West already know how to download paid material for free.

5. Making Money by Giving Away Freebies

You might wonder how one can make money by giving away freebies, but yes, it is possible. You can collect freely available content on the internet and upload it to your website, then use CPA (cost per action) advertisements on your site. You can share the links on other websites and forums.

Many people who do not know about CPA adverts will complete offers to download the content, allowing you to earn a good amount of money. There are many CPA advertising networks you can join and promote. Another option is to upload files to file-sharing sites that pay per download, paste the links on your website, and require visitors to complete CPA ads before accessing them.

6. Earning Money by Uploading Warez

I am sure you know that warez—nulled scripts, ripped videos, music, etc.—are in great demand on the internet. There are many warez-sharing sites online. What you may not know is that many people make thousands of dollars just by uploading and sharing warez.

Many file-sharing sites pay for every download. You can download rare but high-demand warez and upload them to these file-sharing sites. The next step is to join many warez forums and post the links. Thus, you can earn a good amount of money from downloads.

7. Open Up a Private Torrent Site and Torrent Tracker

This method is highly risky. You could create a torrent site and ask for donations to maintain the server, offering users who donate more upload space. You could also heavily monetize the site with advertising networks like Google.

However, this method is extremely risky, and if you use it, you should be prepared to face possible legal situations that may arise.

8. Advertising Networks Arbitrage

Arbitrage is a method by which you buy something at a particular value with the intention of selling it for a higher value. In this method, you buy traffic from an advertising network like Google AdWords and direct that traffic to a landing page which contains ads from another network, such as Clicksor or Yahoo.

The main idea is to create a site with very little actual content but format the advertising so that it appears to be real content. Visitors click on ads thinking they are real content. You test different keywords and ad networks. A good amount of money can be earned—and it is clearly evil.

Instructions: If you are serious about making money online long term, always ask whether a method is legal, ethical, and sustainable before investing time or money into it.

Short Case Study: The Cost of Taking the Easy Way

Short Case Study: A beginner used scraper sites and CPA tactics to earn quick money. While income came fast, the sites were eventually penalized and accounts banned, resulting in lost earnings and wasted effort—forcing a restart from scratch using ethical methods.

We clearly state again that the above-mentioned methods are just for informational purposes. We do not recommend using any of these methods. If you land in trouble or cause any damage using these methods, we do not take responsibility for anything.

Conclusion

Evil money-making methods may seem tempting, especially to beginners, but they carry serious risks. Understanding these tactics can help you avoid them and focus instead on ethical, sustainable ways to build long-term income online.
