How do you respond when people ask "does it make any money?" How do they react when you tell them that it does?
I think the problem here isn't necessarily etiquette so much as it is ignorance. Most people don't know anybody who works for themselves, and a little education will probably go a long way towards maintaining normal relations.
- massarog 15y agoI say yes it makes money, it is my full time job. They just reply with "oh, well that's good, good for you". Instead of saying I run an 'online business', I've just started telling people I run a marketing company (which it is), and that seems to fix the weird looks and comments that I have been getting from family.
- e1ven 15y agoRight. Why would you focus on the fact that it's online? That's almost an irrelevant detail to "What do you do?" You run a marketing company. Just say that.
