How do you explain your job to people? (IM)

You're a Entrepreneur or Business Owner.

...And when you want to have fun with it, just say your the CEO & President of a major Online Pharmaceutical Operation.

Then they say wtf does that mean? You simply say... "I push pills" and at that point they are so fucking confused the questions will stop.

I had to laugh at that one. Thanks.
 
I started out E-whoring and made a good amount. Then I said "fuck this shit", and started consulting other e-whores who were signed up under my broker link. This is a very profitable position that I like to call the "Internet Escort Service".

Them: So, what do you do for a living?

Me: I make websites.

Them: On the internet?

Me: Usually.

Them: Do you make them for companies?

Me: Mostly.

Them: Which companies?

Me: Sorry, I'm not allowed to talk about my clients.

Them: But does it pay well?

Me: No, it really doesn't. I've been at this for 8 years, and I am thinking about going back to school.

Them: Oh, that's too bad.

Me: Yeah, the internet is just a fad. I'm getting out while the getting is good.

Too funny.
 
Depends on who it is... I make websites that make money, all the way to, I'm an internet slave laborer.
 
I usually just say "online marketing" and leave it at that. I think most people wouldn't understand what we do even with an explanation which would just confuse them more.
 
NEVER say you "Make Websites" because for one... that's a pretty small portion of what most of us actually do.... and two, they will have 2 million fucking questions ready to ask.

(see Netflix/Blockbuster is thrown in there b/c people know them so they aren't going to be that confused and they are impressed that someone in cut off shorts and flip flops works with a reputable company - and THAT explains the fancy cars)

haha.. i use the exact same example.. i mention the same companies as well.
 
All jokes aside it's as simple as saying you're an Internet marketer, as in you market shit on the Internet. If they're still confused walk away before they start drooling.
