I won't give a lot of advice on morality of persuasion because I don't think I'm the right person to give this advice. I will say though:
Most people are not exceptionally skilled liars, and your audience can usually tell if you're lying. Either be an extremely good liar, or be extremely honest and transparent about your motivations.
I'm doing the latter personally. I know I am not that good a liar.
Many US politicians are extremely skilled liars.
If you are being honest and transparent, then you can't just create propaganda separate from yourself, you have to become the propaganda yourself.
As a rule of thumb, if you ask your audience to do X, also check whether you'd be willing to do X yourself. Talk is cheap, action matters.
You probably have to high self-esteem to last long-term in this career path. If you keep doubting your own morals, you won't have high self-esteem and will eventually burn out.
Morality is subjective and people of different political ideologies have different moral values. EA/LW moral philosophy in particular is hopeless IMO, it's not grounded in actual concrete actions. You will probably have to figure out your own morals. I can't spoon feed this to you, and most other people can't either.
