I had to see a doctor, the first time in a long time, so it was a new doctor. On the new patient form, it had occupation. I wrote, "Adventurer". The doctor asked what was an Adventurer? I said I could spell Adventurer, but I can't spell Entrepreneur. He smiled, and changed it.
What do you call those people who run a company producing Newspapers? News Paper Publisher What do you call those who run Hustler Magazine? Magazine Publisher What do you call those who run a Website? Web ?..... There you go...
I dont think so dude... I prefe to tell people that I am self employed. Especially girls do get impressed that I am ONE MAN ARMY
But after I prefer to call My self Web INNOVATOR or WEB DEVELOPER or Optimisation Consutant that doesnt matter what you call yourself but matters is that how complited word you use for your work to tell others what you do.. When I am talkin to people who speak same language s I do i.e. hindi i usually tell them that i have my own work and help people make and publicise their sites on net otherwise I prefer to use some heavy names like web innovator
After stumbling around in my brain trying to figure out how best to say what I do while balancing it with what the person I am talking to is really going to understand. I say I make webpages. I say I own my own Web Development Biz. I am the CEO of an internet website. I happen to be the right hand man to the President of the Internet. Ok maybe not that last one. Sometimes it's, "Ahh.. Let's not worry about that."
This is a good one...I don't make much yet but when someone hears about me doing stuff online and asks what I do I just say I own some websites and make money from advertising. I am taking e-Commerce management at collge right now and the wost is when people ask what that is. I didn't know so many people had no clue what the word "commerce" meant...or is it the E that throws them off I think I'm just going to go with e-Commerce Specialist next time someone asks and I will point them to dictionary.com when they ask what that is.
I say that one too, why should you give people two random words and then blame them for not understanding. You can't beat a good whole sentence, you know its going to save explanation time in the long run.
