How Do People React When They Find Out You Work Online?

No matter what I tell them the response is like:

Can you teach me?
How much do you make?
What?
Can you really make money on the internet?
 
I find it difficult to explain how I make money online to my friends who don't know anything, however, they are very interested.
 
I get mixed reactions.
Most will just think that I do something 'shady' like porn or something.
Some ask me when I will get a 'real' job that pays money (??) and do something with my life (mostly my family).
Most are very surprised that I drive a 2010 (bought it when I was 19) and 'don't have a job'.
 
I don't tell them ,because if you tell them ,they will just ask you to teach or broke friendship with me if you can't .

Though they won't say much ,look into their angry faces & you can hear there eyes

" you ugly self satisfied clown , i know you do it in 2 minutes
you don't have a magical brain , i can do the same ah...... even much better than you
you always score less than me in exams
"


that's my way:D

soon I'll be eligible for 9-5 job and hopefully I'll wrap up that to 11-3.30 or 4
 
I am no where near being able to do it full time...but i'm reading this thread so that i will know how to address those people when i do reach that point :D

stop dreaming and start doing something... -.-
 
Young people are either intrigued or skeptical until you tell them how much you're making. Then they want in it.

Older people are always skeptical and ask a million questions.

Usually I just give a fake, short explanation to avoid a million questions. "I sell shit on eBay". (Not true anymore.) LOL

I sell shit on eBay". (Not true anymore.) LOL --- Nice excuse lol

I told my friends I make money online since I just turned 18 and they was like wtf is internet marketing....uhhhh INTERNET...MARKETING lmao. Then I told them I buy websites and stuff and add niche sites..that's when I lost them in the conversation lol
 
Just tell them "I buy some crack & resell that shit on the internet"
Lol
Just tell them something like this
Seo specialist
Internet production marketing manager
Server manager
Web developer

Always try the difficult terms so that they don't have much questions. And mostly, people dont understand a shit about IM who is out of the game of Blackhatworld :D
 
I just tell them i'm the MF who mails them the VIAGRA SHIT MAILS :eek::eek:
 
i tell my friends how i work online and they say its a scam, then they saw my new iphone and some new gadgets and they ask me if sell drugs haha!!
 
My grandfather tonight: "Hey teach me how to make those computer things (websites)"
Me: lol
He doesn't even know how to turn on a computer.

Bankteller: "do you work for google?"
Me: "yea sure" :rolleyes:
 
What I say now is I do Internet Sales and Marketing. Screw em. LOL!

I left my day job in 2002 and never looked back. I used to sit at my desk and build my affiliate sites. Then I started making 20 times as much as they were paying me LOL, so I knew it was time to leave! So I've been working online from home for 10 years now! People are always skeptical. I often feel like people think maybe I'm doing something illegal because I have a big house and a fancy car. It used to bother me, but now I say like many others F'em!! LOL! Let them work that 9-5 while I work at home in my PJ's and get to hibernate all winter. LOL!! I seriously don't give a damn what they think anymore. And I also got sick and tired of trying to tell people they could make real money working from home! They never believe you and act like you make some kind of commission from telling them this crap! So now I'm like screw it then, be skeptical! Sick of repeating my self to people who don't believe or are too lazy to learn! Want you to hand them everything on a silver platter. Keep being a non-believer! That's more money for me to make online. LOL!

So tell them as little as possible, trust me.

Christmas 2011 watching a Kindle commercial with my Grandma.

Grandma- "What's that?"
Me- "It's something you can download books from Amazon on and read them."
Grandma- *confused look*....."And you have to go to the library to download them?"

Grandma also thinks cause she has a computer from 1995 she can play dvd's on them. Took about 15 minutes to explain that's not the way it works.
:pat:
 
I showed a guy I work with a clickbank earnings screenshot on my phone. He asked if I could come over his place and teach him how to do everything to make "loads of monies". No thanks, I'd much rather send affiliate links to IM products :D
 
I don't even describe what I do anymore. I just do this:

You see this watch? You see this watch? That watch costs more than your car.
