That was hilarious Lisa! Thanks for sharing. I just tell family members that I “create websites and help businesses rank higher in search engines”. I teach a class at the local university and you’d think I’m a professor with tenure if you heard my Mom tell people about it. It’s sweet though and I’m glad she’s proud of me. :o)

Ha! That was good!

Being a Social Media Specialist really isn’t that different. I’ve had almost the same conversation with all my relatives at one time or another. It’s funny to see them say “Awww…” when you can tell they have no clue what I’m talking about!

Ah, good times, good times.

Haha some one just linked me to this video, a good one that is for sure. My parents say the same things when I said I was making money from Google and SEO they thought I was up to something illegal.

Ohh Lisa. That’s a little too close for comfort. Love it! I also get that because I work from home, clearly I’m not busy. Ever.

Whenever it comes up, I deflect onto my brother (Systems Architect). Rather than experience the pain of explaining Internet marketing, I get the hilarity of watching people’s faces glaze over as he explains things like N-Tier Application Architecture.

My nana tells everyone that I teach. She’s right, so I don’t even try to correct her.

Hilarious! People still think I “design” websites and then ask me if I know that if you put “Beyonce” on your site, your site will rank high for “Beyonce”. I just blank stare and nod…
