These are a few ways to make money online with integrity.

You can make money online through many different methods. Some are more manipulative. Others outright dishonest.

This is not a right or wrong type post. I intend to share ways to have fun, to help people and to build an online business while loving the ride, and to do so from an honest space.

At the end of the day, you can have fun, be generous, act with integrity and live an incredibly cool life through building an online business from a genuine, heart-centered space.

      Hi Robert,

      That's the cool part; when you do things with integrity, it's about the community, not an island. That's why the response rate grows. Steve, Michael, Rose and everybody else know it's always a team effort. The more we team up and help each other, the more fun we have and the more success we see.

      In truth - and goodness it's hard to see this LOL - the island or the man do not exist: Just One. We gotta clear the illusions and fear to see and embrace this concept, but doing so makes life easier and more fun, and promotes our collective success.

      Thanks for read and sharing.

    Now this is what it's all about. I struggled with this in the beginning of my online journey. For me it was all about making money and never thinking about who I was serving.

    Sure you can make money doing the dishonest things, but it's not worth it in the long run. Building a business takes thinking about things in the long term.

    As an entrepreneur you should always be thinking "how can I add value" and always operate from that.

    Value first and the money will follow.

    Nice post Ryan!

    Thanks for the reminder.

    Nice post...Thanks for sharing.

    I'd add to your list:
    - Promote only legit products that deliver a ton of value
    - If you are a product owner make sure you keep your promise in terms of "money back.."
    - Make honest reviews on your blog/channel
    - Build a relationship with your audience based on trust and honesty

    Is it possible to make money with integrity in the porn industry? Someone told me that selling porn profitably is credible. Almost as if the watcher is being helped.
    {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[11337627].message }}
    • Profile picture of the author ryanbiddulph
      Hi Randall,

      All depends on the clarity of the seller. If one looks at porn as an industry based on consenting adults providing entertainment, sure. But few humans take that honest view of porn. Most of us feel a bit wrong watching it - guilt or shame - and more aware folks do tune into the fact that many pained, scared, and flat out scarred people are porn actors. If you feel anything but pure clarity and detachment in selling, it's gonna be so tough to do it with integrity.

        Exceptional response. You open my eyes to a brand new reality regarding the pain with actors themselves that i have never even thought of. Awesome post.

    It's hard to uphold integrity especially in the beginning. You'll be in a huge disadvantage if you stay entirely clean. But as soon as you generate enough momentum, it's easier to do the right thing.

    One thing is clear, doing business with integrity is more likely to bring you more return in the long run.

      Hi yintegriti,

      My experience was totally different; being honest helped me profit more quickly because if you are clear with people they are clear with you, and send you money.

      Of course, being dishonest early on shows a lack of clarity, resulting in struggles or some quick profits, attached with headaches, a tarnished rep, all that jazz.

      Weird idea meme spread from IMer to IMer - being honest delays profits. What? If you are honest and act with integrity, honest people find you, buy into you, dig your integrity and buy your stuff pretty quickly. But if you're dishonest, you delay your profits, attracting all types of dicey situations and people.

      One of the worst responses I have ever read. And even worse if taken as advice.

      If you feel you have to lie, cheat or con your customers then you have no long term prospects and quite frankly shouldn't be in the business. Doesn't matter if you are a rank newbie or a seasoned marketer.

      Integrity and honesty isn't something you should pick and choose as suits.

      In reality if you start off without integrity and succeed, it is unlikely you will change in the long run.

      If you start off without integrity and fail, then you will have to change.

      So why not start as you mean to go on?

    Probably one of the best and most honest posts I've ever seen on this forum. This is so true and is a good list of things to look for. I've probably been scammed out of well over six-figures since I've been online, so I recommend that you do your due diligence on every single person that you do business with.

    I've learned this after seven years of hard work in this space - be honest, totally and completely honest at all times. It will win hearts and minds. Next, focus on adding value whenever and wherever you can, not asking for money first and then focusing on it later - provide value up front (I'm not saying give away everything you know, but if you focus on money in this space, it will backfire on you).

    "See your work as the reward and money as extra or a bonus" This. I was primarily attracted to the online business space for the freedom aspect of it. Focus on building wealth slowly in this space and not quickly, I have yet to see someone build "wealth" quickly in this space and keep it (or still be around).

    The only argument I have is that there are not a few ways to make money online with integrity, but rather a lot of ways to make it with integrity. As I always say, it's rarely what you do, but rather how you do it.

    Sell a product or service that enriches your customers life. Knowing that you are providing something of premium quality is key to good business. How much value you can provide for a dollar. Do not rip people off.
