Hi Commander and Justabout:

In this video, I show the three most common types of smuggling I do in Elite Dangerous. There are many more, but these are the most common and the ones that work best if you have a ship prepared.

Imperial Slave Smuggling in the Empire This is mostly to increase reputation. It doesn't earn you much money, but it's useful if you want to get on the good side of the Imperial factions.

Slave or Drug Smuggling to the Federation This is serious stuff. You pay a high price if you get caught, but if you do it right, the reward is good. I use a cold ship and thermal ejectors to avoid detection. You can also use stealth navigation if you don't have a well-equipped ship.

Selling Stolen Items Everything I get by looting stations or stealing on foot: resources, data, merchandise. If you see an item appear twice in your inventory, it's because one is legal and the other is stolen. All of this can be sold on the black market or used in pirate missions.

I hope you like the video!!!
