I get it riht out in the face and it pisses me off. People see me around and about and think I do sod all, they first ask what I do (how do you explain that to someone who doesn't have a clue about the web, business or marketing). Next question is always , 'so how much do you earn then'? I always reply, enought to pay the bills
lol jlawrence I always find it funny when people get all hush hush about how much they earn and equally funny when nosey people want to know how much you earn. It's probably best to say what old welshy guy says. Pity is a better feeling to have coming towards you than envy I would imagine.
Can't say I worry about how the other guy feels - if he's stupid enough to ask the question, then he's probably stupid enough to believe any answer you give.
You should make up a wage and go into every little detail of how you get every penny or cent. He'll wish he'd never asked and probably won't ever bother anyone else.
Whenever I get that question, and when people find out that I make a living via the internet, it's usually assumed that it has something to do with porn. It amazes me how clueless a lot of people are about the internet...
Happens to me also... when I tell people I have several websites they always assume they are porn related
I love that cartoon that has a computer est up with just two buttons on the keyboard, labelled Music and Prn Sad thing is that just about sums uphow many people view the web.
