Is that what you're interested in?  There are legal ways, I'm sure, they're just not
nearly as well known.

Perhaps what you could do is to set up your own email service or some other
kind of service provider (especially something that's privacy-themed).  That's
the other major reason that people use networks like Tor - privacy and
confidentiality. 

For example, there are well known email services like SIGAINT
(http://sigaintevyh2rzvw.onion/ ) that are successful because they allow you to
send email without revealing your location or identity.

Or, if you have the know-how, you could design your own social network, blog
service, or something along those lines.  You would have to find a niche that
hasn't yet been filled on the dark web (say, extra privacy, or it's a place that
doesn't offer scams, etc.) That, in theory, is legal - although some of the social
networks I've come across do advertise for the drug markets, etc.

I would just advise that if you plan to do something like that, become familiar
with the network itself first.  As with any business, you'll have competition, if
you don't know what you're doing, it will show, and people will pick up on that.

For example, if you're creating a social network, what sort of niche does it fill
that the others don't?  Is it geared toward a certain type of person?  How would

you make it stand out against all the other social networks and forums?

The rules are almost the same as on the clearnet, but the types of goods and
services people are looking for tend to be different.  And also, the most popular
currency on the dark web (at the moment) is bitcoin.  So I would become
familiar with that as well. 

Is that helpful?  Good luck to you.

6 Ways to Make Money on the Dark Web

First you probably will find out this posts relevant for you

How To Launch Your Own Monero Deep Web Shop using WordPress

In today’s ever increasing world of technological advancements, people are

discovering that the typical 9-5 day job is no longer the only option to make a
comfortable living income. We see with services like Youtube and Twitch that
content creators can make a simple video daily and make hundreds of
thousands a year if they are entertaining to watch. There are also plenty of ways
to make money online such as blogging(such as this one) or providing computer
related services for those with technical knowledge regarding certain software’s
or freelance programmers.

But these are all the legal ways to make money over the internet. What if I told
you that you could make very fast money, discreetly over the Dark Web? The
Dark Web has a very scary connotation, as many people worry that once they log
on all there files are erased and replaced with animal torture and child porn. In
reality, you will never find this kind of content unless you yourself truly look for
it. In actuality, the Dark Web is simply an anonymous way to browse the
internet, and exists as a freedom movement from national governments. At
least, according to all the owners of marketplaces on the dark net.

In this guide, we will learn about ways to make money on the Dark Web. We will
not actually discuss accessing the dark web, as there are hundreds of tutorials
online already. But I would highly recommend the Tor browser over any others.

8/7/2018 How do I make money using deep web? - Quora

There are a variety of ways you can earn and make a living through the dark web
through various Cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin or Monero.

The conversion from cryptocurrencies to cash payout is done via exchanges

online, and is quite feasible.
 Consider the criminal aspects of every activity on the darknet in mind, some are
more criminal than others and those that are not criminal at all depend on the
country where you are staying at the moment you engage in that activity.

A quick note about “OpSec”

Something every single individual engaging in illegal activities on the dark web
needs to be aware of “OpSec”, or Operation Security. Just because you have
downloaded the Tor Browser, that does not mean that you are completely
untraceable or anonymous. You will NEED to use a VPN(Virtual Private
Network), encrypt all of your messages to vendors and clients with PGP, and it is
highly recommended that you use Tails as your OS when operating on the Dark
Web.

Making Money from Carding

Carding is considered more dangerous and an activity that Law Enforcement

actively pursues to disrupt. But it is still possible to manipulate bank account
information and credit card companies by means of forgery and burglary to
access bank accounts. On many darknet markets, you can purchase bank
accounts with the details of the owner of the bank account you are trying to
break into, and withdraw funds from the same bank account.
 You can also buy and manipulate PayPal accounts and other virtual accounts.
 There are currently communities that deal with this activity and it is definitely
worth starting to read discussions there and from there to continue. It is highly
recommended to use all the tools that will do the work anonymously as much as
possible in order to enter this world, such as Antidetect 7.

Aside from purchasing actual bank account information from vendors, you can
also purchase guides and tutorials on how to commit fraud and carding on the
same markets. There are hundreds of them around and some of the highly rated
ones are definitely worth checking out.

Drug trafficking

The traditional way of buying drugs involves calling up a dealer and meeting up
with them in person to exchange cash for your fix. Darknet marketplaces allow
us to order our drugs through the Internet and prevents meeting with dubious
people on the street, possibly risking your life if the dealer is sketchy. This new
method is sparking a revolution for drug resellers and users wanting pure, uncut
products. If you have a steady supply of certain drugs, the best way is to sell
them is register on one of the major darknet markets

You can find a list of darknet markets here . Almost every market requires you
to pay a vendor bond to become a vendor. Most are between 100 and 250 USD.
You can also promote and market your goods on darknet forums, but if you ever
scam any buyers, at least early on in your vending career, it is highly unlikely
anyone will buy from you after that.

8/7/2018 How do I make money using deep web? - Quora

Trading in digital goods

The sale of goods such as guides and various software over the dark network has
become simple. Most markets support the possibility of selling various
downloads such as books that cannot be marketed on the net or at a cheaper
price than Amazon and other book chains. You may also find vendors selling
cracked software such as Antidetect 7(value is about $499) for greatly reduced
prices. These software’s are usually legitimate, but make sure you securely
download them and make sure no viruses are included in the download, seeing
as nothing is stopping the vendor from including them.

Offering murder services

More often than not, murder/hitman services are one of two things: A scam, or
Law Enforcement officials. Most markets ban the sale of murder services and it
is highly unlikely anyone would purchase your service. All in all, completely
avoid this as an option.

Sale of weapons

If you have a number of weapons that are not registered and you are interested
in selling them, you can sell them on some markets. It is recommended that you
read the market regulations before signing up and paying for a vendor account.

Make SEO works for other business on Dark Web

Yes, it is a truly legitimate profession in the real world, but it can also be offered
in the web grid for people who want to promote sites that offer shady services or
markets for goods that can not be sold legally.

Community management

Community management means the you hold the great power of the
community owner. The community owner can offer various services and
advertising space on the name he creates for himself, as well as he can create
collaborations and thus demand a percentage of salary for his collaborations.
Communities are forums similar to reddit and facebook, but with a large
emphasis on cybersecurity and Dark Web activities.

Starting Your Own DarkNet Market

Before you consider this option, I strongly recommend you to read about Ross
Ulbricht who was arrested several years ago for running the Silk Road. This is
one of the most dangerous and complex areas to deal with on the dark web, but
it does depend on the merchandise you are marketing. It is recommended to
think a lot and to know that there is a need for technical and marketing
knowledge in order to develop the market in such a way that it will become
profitable. There is also a need to establish contact with community owners to
advertise your market, seeing as nobody will know it exists without their
advertisements.

please read about Ross before you decide to make money this way:

Developing a ruthless rogue software, oftentimes called, “Ransomware” requires

connections with a skilled programmer or being a skilled programmer. The
software steals information from the user and encrypts it and asks for money in
return for the contents. Large companies and offices and even private
individuals can not afford to lose some of the content and pay the money in
digital currency making it difficult to track them. This activity really attracts the
attention of Law Enforcement, so it is highly recommended you know what
you’re doing before engaging in this activity.

Ill give you a free tip, GItHub is wonderfull website to start with this kind of
project, for example:

Making money from software Development (programming)

Since this is a technical world, we need programmers to create different projects.

Various services can be obtained through programmers in the dark network
whose identity you do not know and who do not know your identity. This makes
it possible to create dubious projects without risking prosecution.

It is recommended that you join Forums and get involved with the community
to meet connections and stay informed on various vendors and market news.

Since the others have actually done a very commendable job of answering this
question I am going to follow up by saying, quite sincerely, that between Dark
Web/Deep Web, if you have to ask how to make money there then it is not the
place for you.

This is the Internet equivalent of walking into an illegal poker room in the dark
of the night and asking the doorman how you can get a % of the money earned
from their high stakes games.

If you have to ask then it is a place where you don’t belong.

The people who make money in this area of the Internet will chew you up and
spit you out.

Antonio Kowatsch, I know my way around the internet.

Updated Mar 30

There are various ways to make money on the Dark web. I'm pretty certain that
you're talking about the Dark web and not the Deep web (as you might have
guessed by now there is a distinct difference between the two). On the Silk Road
e.g. it was possible to offer certain services in exchange for bitcoins. Some
created memes, others photoshopped images for their clients and then there
were the people who sold nude pics of themselves or their ex-girlfriends.
Another thing that seems to make the biggest earnings is selling drugs on the
deep web, this is however illegal in case it's not apparent enough. Drug stores are
the most lucrative business model on the Dark web next to hackers for hire and
stores that sell stolen electronic goods.

It's pretty simple: if you want to make money on the Dark web by being an
upstanding citizen you can pretty much forget about it. Unless you offer services
that are either borderline illegal or de facto illegal you won't make much of
anything so don't waste your time.

Final conclusion: it's much easier, more lucrative and most important of all
"legal" to make money on the clearweb. Create an account on Upwork, write and
publish ebooks on Amazon and upload something on Payloadz. Those are
methods that actually work and they are all legal. Do the right thing and stay out
of trouble.

Deep Web economy solely depends on Bitcoins. It was found by Satoshi

Nakamoto and its blindingly anonymous and secure.

I honestly have no idea how it works. But to make purchases or sell stuff in Deep
Web you should be smooth with Bitcoin commerce, that I'm sure about!

I suggest that you should first understand the basics of Bitcoin commerce.

You can make money on deep web but you don’t want to sell drugs, fake id, and
paypal accounts so there is another way to do it.

1. Make a website on normal wordpress or blogger

2. add some strangest things from dark web with related keyword.

3. write some 20 to 30 articles with rich keyword (all articles from the deep
web)

4. Apply for adsense.

5. Now make backlinks of your websites and post on the dark web.

6. Now you’ll see that you get plenty of traffic to make money indirectly by
deep web.

On the dark web, you're best off just doing what you’d do on a regular website—
monetizing your domain.

This is hard to do on the dark web, and there isn't as much traffic as the surface

There are many ways to make money using the deep web, but I would be really
careful with legalities as few are actually legal. I will not be providing guides for
such, but I will suggest if you are simply interested in how to do so, but not
actually engaging in illegal activities, there are guides you can google.

I suppose some options are legal such as buying fake Facebook accounts.
