How do you explain what you do for a living online to others?

Ohh I got question like this almost every second day!
At first when I tell what I do than everyone thinks that I'm doing some kind of hacking /stealing money from anothers and so on , my dad still says that I must be doing such a things because I have always money and buying something new and I don't look pretty much on price tags at shop now already for some 2years -and how da heck you can get money by sitting just in front of pc , gosh how it annoys me when he tells to everyone that I'm just addicted with PC and can't find anything else what to do, especially to my gf , it sucks really... , well it's not an addiction when I haven't played any game on pc for like a year now and use it only for really making living - and I can live without it, but oh well

I really don't see why world can't accept this just as another job at all, even it's better than their works ( don't say it isn't true for that 8-15peoples) , I mean you can build your own carrier here much much faster, you can be your own boss, you can earn as much as you want and need, and can be king in the castle! In my age I have reached much more than almost half of another peoples in this world, by not following them and their concepts about working at all!
But even you tell them that you do that and it's just another work, and that I earn 10X more than them - well they can't accept it and don't believe me unless I show them my wallet, after that they keep asking me all time to show me what I do and to learn for them also! Oh these dumb peoples..., just their are to conservative and can't accept new things!

 

100% True...

Me being a teen, am aiming to not have a job in real life, but earn online. Have been motivated by people like w3bmaster, who don't have an actual job but earn from the net... (Also hearing stories like Teen earns 150,000$/month and all the BS)

 

I say I am a freelancer. Then if they probe me further I will say it is like the guy who do odd jobs like cutting your grass for you. The only difference is that I do it online.

 

Yeah thats why i have hid it from my parents so far (im in my 20's). Too scared to admit it now. But eventually I will have to.

 

I just say I own websites.

 

yeah but don't they start asking questions on how you make money or what kind of sites?

 

Haha, this is so funny. It reminds me of someone who asked me about Google's last name! Can you imagine that?

Well, I had the same problem dealing with these questions. Some people don't even know how to use their computers so it's very hard to explain. But I tried my best to explain what I do and how I make money online, or give them my business cards so that they can check it out...LOL

Happy Memorial Day!

i say web developer and that usually does the trick.

 

no matter what you say you're going to get follow-up questions.

 

Its hard to coup up with these things. I tell my friends I am a online business man. I own couple of websites and I do business.
It doesn't matter to me anymore what do they think of my work. I just need to work hard, earn and spend it on my bills, gas, households and others.
It took me hard years and hard times to reach at this point so I am not going to loose it for someone who thinks I am crazy or something.. lol

 

if i was a webmaster i would jsut say it directly and try to explain to them that its like a internet job where i can work anywhere even at home if i have internet. and i guess there's not much to hide just be direct.

 

lol lame it may be I bet you make a lot more than anyone who doesn't understand the difference between a shell and a kernel. Good show

 

There are many webmasters still struggling to make both the ends meet.
Making money on the net is a really tough job.

 

Hehehe. Everyone wants to be able to live well. A word of advise though, don't give up on school just yet. If you do, you may regret it later. Life throws you a curve ball sometimes.
