People are always asking "what do you do" "how do you have so much money" "now that you're done with college are you gonna look for a job" and at first I'd tell them about affiliate marketing, and then it got old so I started making up random shit as to how I had money and why I wasn't looking for a job, but when you get to the point where people actually believe you're a 22 year old astronaut who invented a new propulsion system for a spaceship, it's time for something new. I'm thinking it would be useful to come up with some kind of career/business that gains credibility based on the fact that you do have money, like a financial adviser or some shit like that. That way when I meet new people, I can tell them "yeah, I do this and this," they'll think "wow, this guy must be good at what he does," and then I can extract even more money from them by getting them to sign up for my service / hire my business / etc. I've been trying to think of ideas that wouldn't be too implausible but that you could still reasonably charge a huge amount for, so you're not wasting your time. Any ideas?

Gets people just confused enough that they don't usually ask many more questions. Then, when I'm out on the town, dropping five or six bucks on dinner and hitchhiking home drunk, people know I am baller, and damned good at what I do.

Media publisher. It's so generic but has a "professional air" about it. Or whatever. Its bullshit anyway and I only use it because it sounds better than "I sell weight loss ebooks and diet pills to your sister"
No I didn't. Because you can twist "media publisher" to suit whatever service you feel you're qualified to offer clients. Anything from SEO to SEM to web design to offline advertising.
Ah, that's a good one. So as soon as you've told them you're a media publisher, you ask what they do, and then you reply with something that makes them think your business is exactly in line with what they need.
The only men I talk to: we discuss work.
The women I talk to: they just know I run some sort of website business.

There ya go.
Him: "So what do you do?"
You: "I'm a media publisher. Mostly online, performance-based stuff but my firm also handles more traditional media placements as well."
Him: "That's cool! I've got a guy that does something called SEO for me but I don't think its working and I can never get him to answer emails but he sure cashes the checks fast! I've also wanted to look into sending out some postcards to local zip codes to test response...blah blah blah. Are you involved in either of those areas?"
You: "Funny you should ask because I got a software that does ALL THAT."
This is about the most accurate answer you can give without confusing 99 percent of the people who ask.
