I hate this question because no one in the small town I live in knows anything about the internet, In the past I'd try to explain what I do to people but they always have this blank stare on there face like they don't know what I just said.
I used to explain it to my friends all the time but I stopped when I told one of my friends what I do and like an hour later he said he knew of a good job opening and that I should take it because eBay wouldn't support me forever. When he said that I was like umm what the fuck dude I don't have any dealings with eBay nor have I ever said I did.
I've also had family members come up to me and say so I heard you were making money online what type of things do you sell on eBay and again I was like what the fuck is up with the people in this town and eBay. They think thats the only thing online which someone could make money at doing haha.
And finally another one of my friends gave the best response after what I told me I do, he said "Who would have thought you can make money online".
So now when someone asks me what I do I simply say I'm a bum, I wake up when I want to, I don't go to work, I sit at home all day long and play games online.
Fuck em if no one seems to understand what you do, just as long as you understand what it is your doing.

We just spent a few hours talking about that question
Let's keep these people dumb - we need someone to clicks our ads and fill out forms.

Here's what I said this year that worked like a charm...
I make my money with Google's Adsense program. You know Google right?
Yes.
It's a great program... even if you don't want to work online full time... you can easily make your car payment part-time with Google.
What is it?
The best way for you to learn about Google's Adsense program is to just head on over to Google and let them explain the whole thing to you in detail. You'll love it. Let me know what you think.
...
That worked like a charm. Because it's a program put out by 'Google'... it lends all kinds of credibility and puts them on the 'dumb' end of things.
I'll use it from now on.
Best,

actually I'm gonna pull a thread like this but OP did it first lol
I have hard time explaining what I do to my family. Don't even bother about ebay, they don't even know how to install firefox or antivirus properly on their own. So explaining to them will be a pain in the ass.
I'm sssoooooooooo ccoonnffusseeddddddddd arrgghhhhhhhhhhhhh
Best thing I can come up is: online marketing advisor (huh.. WTF)
I'm gonna watch this thread to get better ideas

Agreed.
I just tell people I build and sell websites. No need to go into the details of Internet Marketing, Ad Copy, Landing Pages, PPC, SEO, CPC, and all that shit. They won't understand anyway.
hahaha I can't say this because the majority of my friends think I'm already a porn producer after showing them my Cute Sexy Women website I set up which was a bad mistake because now at parties when I'm trying to hook up with a chick it never seems to go over well when my drunk friends come yelling HEY HOWS THE PORN INDUSTRY!.
However I've yet to see what drunk slutty chicks think when they say stupid shit like that hmm might have to test it out tomorrow night.
LOL! I had the exact same thing happen to me. Thankfully I stopped mentioning it, said that I stopped doing it because it's not profitable ...
Now I am free again. I still have a day job, so "What do you do?" is not a big question for me.
How about just saying that you've retired early?
