For years I’ve never really known how to answer the question, ” What do you do for a living?” My typical answer is, marketing, internet marketing, Search engine marketing, or SEO Consultant, but the typical person has no idea what SEM is. When I say Search Engine Marketing, the typical response is: “Oh, what search engine do you work with?” Then, I have to explain what Search Engine Marketing is in a sentence or two. I’m getting used to the response.
But I finally have it figured out. It took me awhile, but I think I finally got it. When someone asks me what I do for a living, I will now say “Advertising” or, “Internet Advertising”. It is so much simpler, and I think people understand what advertising is. So, my thought is that they’ll think Internet advertising must be advertising on the internet. Sounds logical, right? Hopefully, that will make the conversation go much more smoothly. Although, I haven’t had the opportunity to test my new theory out yet.
