Might as well tell them you're a pimp and the websites are your bitches making you money.
This is something that is new to me as I starting working for myself around 7-8 months ago now. At first I would explain the process of being an affiliate and for some reason even after being drilled with questions for an hour people wouldn't get it.
Then I progressed to telling them that I sell things online, this they didn't understand either since I didn't have a warehouse and inventory. So I came up with another description.
I told people that I rank websites in Google and for some reason they didn't understand the concept of Google "ranking sites" and just thought that Google just randomly shows them websites. After this point I was about 4 months on with working for myself.
I gave up on trying to explain anything, now I just say the following when people ask me what I do:
If it's a girl I'm interested in: I have my own business, it's all a bit technical but rest assured that if you would like to go to dinner with me that I will pay for you.
----If anything they at least laugh and I can start talking about something else.
If it's just a normal person: I have my own business, I don't say anything other than that. If they ask for specifics I just say business consulting.
P.s, actually landed 2 SEO clients this way![]()
you can use animoto (paid) or use proshow producer (free on member download section )Nice,
I think Ill use that at the bar tonight.
And I like you quote at the bottom. I haven't been in that situation with IM luckily Im pretty much getting paid to learn right now. But i was in the same situation when i had to rely on my videography skills to pay rent. With out thing is the savings.
That reminds me I wanted to know if you guys had ideas about my business with videos.
So basically I go around to all the Motorcycle dealers in my area and make videos of all of their new and used moto's then Edit it, add voice over, upload to youtube, embed to website, and link to Cycletrader.
I need to know of a software, if it exists. That Can take the existing images on the site, and create a very cool video of the motos.
Or something where I dont have to goto the site itself. uh anyways little off subject.
Actually i'm lucky because my (female) fiancee does IM as well.. makes life quite easy. I just tell my dad i send links on twitter and i get money for it.
This is all you need to talk to girls about IM

Lol, I'm the opposite!!!
I'm a girl, who has trouble talking to guys about anything with IM. Unless it's sports, video games, or sex, it's basically in one ear and out the other. I could use those as examples, but they prefer action over words, if you get my meaning ;D. I'm trying to get my sister into the marketing world so I won't be alone in socializing around here.

You think you've got issues? I've been trying to explain to a court all week.
Even my own defense doesn't understand let alone the prosecution or the jury.
the problem I am facing is the alleged offence is un internet related but they
cannot understand how I afford my lifestlye using stealth accounts and digital
payments so it's catch.22.
Girls are so different from us. Deep down, they expect the man to be strong and 'find a way', they don't expect to do the seriously mind bending tasks often associated with riches in IM. They like to have a simple 9-5 job, go out with their girlies on the weekend, read cosmo, talk about love and sex and their periods, their emotions and stuff. That's not to say this is bad. Women are just different. Apart from a couple exceptions like Sweetfunny women just aren't suited to hardcore IM. To be honest when I am with a girl I like to be around the carefree, feminine, emotional energy they have. I don't WANT to talk about python scripts or the way ReCaptcha keeps f*king changing or the best way to deal with masses of spintax automatically. I want a break from all that. The best thing about a woman is her feminine energy and her looks and her body, so embrace those things. Keep IM separate, the only thing that should be entering your girlfriends ear is your dick, not how you made $40 on fiverr this week by selling scrapebox blasts.
