What It's About
Today's listener has a questionable question.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1887
Today’s caller doesn’t think I’m going to feature his question … which of course piqued my curiosity. And then he dared me to feature it, and I can’t turn down a dare. Well, actually I can, so don’t get any crazy ideas—but actually I did like the actual question. What is he selling? Netflix passwords! Okay, not quite, but he’s selling what he calls “black hat” tips and tricks. So as he’ll explain, it’s information like how to share Netflix logins and other things that aren’t quite illegal but also aren’t necessarily favored by big companies. Is this a viable business? Hey, I’m happy to hear about anything! No guarantee I’ll be able to mention it or say good things about it, but I’m pretty open-minded. Let’s dive in and hear from Craig, also known as Harry. You’ll understand when you hear his message…"I have a side hustle that's a little sneaky. In fact, it's so sneaky that I bet you won't feature my question on the show! But I'll try just in case. I like to help people with what might be considered "black hat" tips and secrets. Nothing illegal, but things like giving away shared logins for Netflix or Amazon Prime, or showing how to return items to stores after the return window has closed. There are many more, but I don't want to say what everything is up front. I want to sell a guide to all of these tips. I'm going to call myself Black Hat Harry, even though my name isn't Harry ... it just seemed like a good idea to protect my privacy. But speaking of protection, I worry that eBay and other platforms will remove my guide and maybe even keep my money after sales have been made. Should I be worried? I'm not trying to go completely ‘dark web’—as I said, nothing I'm doing is illegal, it's just a little borderline. I dare you to run this question and tell me what you think!"Listen to today's episode to learn more...
