Ridiculous Things Non IMers Say

[verilix]

I got my sister and mother in on this. They're making a couple dollars a day in their first month. They work about 1-2hrs a day.

I know exactly what you mean, I try talking to my wife and friends and they just look at me baffled about the words that are coming out of my mouth, my wife just says Honey your doing it again! and then I say, O right I forgot you don't understand.

 

[acidol2]

Oh god, this is hilarious... most of the time I explain stuff to my friends they look at me all confused, and say:

"What? Hold up, hold up, hold up. You lost me. You saying all this confusing stuff. Start over"

 

[Robocops]

"Is what your doing on the computer legal"
"How does youtube make money"
"I wish i knew how to make money off the internet"
"How does your voucher code website make money if you don't sell anything"
"Why would Google want to advertise on your website"

I relate to you 100% on this. But I guess we can't blame them... Cause whenever she talks to me about fashion, I nod my head and pretend to understand while secretly thinking "I hate Matt Cutts, I hate Matt Cutts, I hate Matt Cutts".

I'm a student of computer engineering and in college, someone told me how samsung made millions from s4 launch by their website alone because "internet guys pay you for every hit". I couldn't help but laugh.

lol, serious bro, how much do you make on poker? Is it something that you do as a hobby, or are you at the professional point?

Haha
Im not a pro, but i do it as a hobby and once, I earned over $1k in 2-3 days, but managed to lose it in 1 day. Soul-destroyer.

But now I am doing some low entry tournaments and I am doing good

Funny how every single person on this forum will get told most of these responses in their IM career.

"internet guys pay you for every hit"

The last time I talked to my parents about IM, my dad said to remember that when the FBI knocks on the door that he warned me. Everytime I explain to him what I am doing, he either thinks it's a ponzi scheme or that I'm scamming someone. Fortunately, he'll forget all about it the next day.

Another time when a nice check came in the mail, my mom asked me to tell the affiliate company to stop sending me "illegal" money or I'll end up in jail.

I've learned to keep all of this to myself now, because it's not worth the pointless arguments... lol

Where are you located? As far as I understand, online gambling using currency can be illegal in the United States. Especially for someone underage. XD

when people ask what do i do as job.
i have no answer then.

 

[gullsinn]

What my Mom says, "putting your fingers on this keyboard all the day really makes you money or is there any other resource of earning". Sweet, but funny, Mothers are so lovely.

There are lots of things i hear everyday from different departments of my company, mostly software developers, web designers. They count me (seos) as like data entry operators!! I just keep myself calm and ignore them. People needs time to understand internet marketers and how the earning money online works. The day when they will hear that someone is earning $$$$$ online just by using their brain for few hours a day, they will start taking us seriously.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. - Steve Jobs

if people/parents/friends/etc are still telling you to get a "real" job, you haven't scaled your methods up enough

 

[Aaric]

Yeah. You're right. But, my parents tell me online money is a scam and one day police will come knocking my doors. Especially my grandfather who has a habit of taunting me with words like, " Son, I don't want to see you go to jail at this age. I tried convincing them that all the money I am making is legal and legit.

In fact, during my initial days when I told my friends that I won't go for placements and stick with online thing, they mocked me and told that one needs "real" job to pull on the family and sustain. Now, they have to eat their words. I want to keep earning for another decade and after that I will start offline business.

Filling taxes?

This could mark the end of the thread BUT, there are people (me included), that are starting earning money online, I mean, not everybody is on the scale up step, many of us are either starting or starting to see some success here and there.
