What Do You Call Yourself?

36 replies
Im in the middle of filling out a web form for this private forum and it's asking me what my occupation is.

Funny question really.

It is asking me to type in less than 3 words what my occupation is.

Hmmmm?

Web developer? No, not really, I dont really develop...

Web designer? Nope, I dont design professionally. I dont make money with design.

Internet Marketer? Doesn't that seem a little too broad?

Web publisher? Well, I do publish lots of information and content, but that kind of sounds to snobby and old school.

Blogger? I do blog, but im not a blogger.

What do you call yourself?

    You are over thinking, and you are an internet marketer.

    Notice your comment when you listed internet marketer? You didn't deny it, you just said it was too broad for your liking.

    Ok. That's a lie.

    I call myself a writer. But the joy of being a writer is you can create your own worlds and make your characters as young and beautiful as you wish. Oh... don't forget rich.

    When I was doing it full time, I used webmaster. I could build but had coders do it for me most the time, so webmaster was appropriate. I usually put Nurse now.

    "Self Employed"

    It answers their question... while telling them absolutely nothing.

    If they really want to know what I do, they'll have to bother to have an actual conversation with me.

      I will generally use either "Self Employed" or "Retired" depending on my mood.
