    Default Does everyone know?!

    So, there are lots of full time cam girls out there - Me being one of them! But of course, I don't tell my friends or family that this is what I do to get ALL of that money. So I'm curious how everyone else deals with these "what do you do" questions.

    Look forward to hearing some of them!!

    I tell them I work for google, which isn't too far off the mark as I did used to. I also say I do sales and admin for small businesses from home.. Which I do.. Sometimes I do quite often get questions from people about how they can do the same though so if I were to concoct my story again I'd probably say it was something so complicated that no one would ever ask about it!

    This is quite a good one! I usually tell people I do a bit of online trading (Which has a smidgen of truth in it I suppose!)

    But then sometimes they ask what it is I sell, and can they see my page?! Haha oh dear

    Oooh that's a good one. Accounting / book-keeping for small businesses overseas. The second anyone mentions "accounting," people's eyes glaze over instantly!

    I used to be an accountant so I just tell them I do that from home. No one bats an eye. My Dad thinks I do online English tutoring as well (because of my weird hours). My sister and close friends know the truth. Others who don't know what I do (ex coworkers) are a bit nosier and want to know which companies I work for etc and why I haven't updated my LinkedIn profile. So now I am thinking about actually starting a business name to shut them up.

    Oh the joys of living a double life lol.

    Yes! It'd be easy to memorize a few words associated with accounting. Bust a few of these words out and no one will be asking any more questions! : http://www.dummies.com/how-to/conten...d-phrases.html

    Here is a thread with a ton of work at home jobs. My fake job is similar to the ones posted there. I've actually done it a bit so I know enough about it to flesh out the conversation.

    I used to do that when I first started!.. It was pure hell from both genders. ... so I hope you can handle everyone taking advantage of you and judging you so much... I learned pretty quickly it's best to OMIT it.. about after a year.. but my family all knows and think I am pretty well to do and they try to take advantage of me to , either that or I get a lil to generous.

    When I starting out I would tell them I work for customer service call centre from home, then I just got comfortable telling them what I do let their judgement wheels spin.

    Now I could jump into Direct Selling/Network Marketing

    but I just don't care who knows. since its none of their business and if they want to have an opinion of it they can start giving me $3,000 a month for bills and debt.

    I must say, finding this forum has made me feel so much better about the work I do! I for one am not quite ready or willing to tell all and sundry what I really do (I live in a small town in North Scotland)!

    But good for you to those who do

    I definitely think my fake job is going to be the overseas accountant haha x

    Whatever you tell people that you do be prepared to shutdown any questions with "When I am away from work, I don't want to talk about it" or know a little about your pretend job even if you gotta Google it. A friend told a guy she was an accountant and he asked her what did GAAP mean. She didn't recognize it as an accounting term and dude called her out for being a liar.

    I usually just say massage therapist. Which I am.

    I posted this in another thread in regards:

    This was idea sparked from one of my Aussie custys. He said Australia is in dire need of accountants and bookkeepers. He said I just needed to learn the Australian version of Quickbooks which was MYOB. I watched Youtube vids and got a little familiar with it.

    I tell people I am an Australian bookkeeper. I do get questions because it is soundsinteresting, but it explains everything:


    Q: Why do you have these lights?
    To Skype with my overseas customers. It helps build the relationship better and I do not like looking like crap.

    Q: How do you make such good money?
    Because things in Australia are more expensive and my skills are in demand, I can charge $40 USD.

    Q: Why do you sometimes have to work at night?
    Because it is daytime in Australia, I need to have Skype meetings with them.

    Q: Why can't you just come over with your laptop and hang out and do you work from my house/why can't I spend the night?
    It is dealing with peoples money and it is detailed oriented, need full concentration and to be alone. I don't come to YOUR work and camp out.

    Q: So you studied the Austrian tax codes and you know that stuff?
    No, that is what CPAs are for. I record and sort out books for business owners. I know a few basic things (Which I goolged a bit - like June is the end of their tax season, etc)

    Q: How did you get into that?
    Elance.com, word of mouth, etc.

    Q: Where are all of the papers I normally see bookkeepers with?
    What century do you live, that is what clouds where created for.

    Q: Why are you so worried about the speed of your upload, who cares about upload?
    Because I have large files I need to upload, I need to get them there and not time out.

    usually just say I own a business as a bookkeeper and people are instantly bored and they move on. I only get more questions as people start to notice my odd work patterns or large sums of money out of no where or my nice things or begin to get closer to me. I knew books in a former job so I thought I would go with something I knew something about.

    I was an accounting manager in the collision industry so I say I specialize in small- med body shops - go with what you know

    For the last 4 years I've surprisingly never had anyone judge me, take advantage etc.

    Very few people know, most know I work from home in media sales. I also have a business, an LLC so some people think that's my job as well. That's all they need to know since I'm the only one paying my bills

    I've had it a bit easy lately because I do have a waitress job, so that's usually what I tell people. I also just state I'm self employed and do internet sales.

    I have had mixed reviews telling people. I really only befriend non-judgmental types like myself anyway, so maybe that is why I have not been judged as much. But to go out and tell anyone in society that I am a cam girl, no way. Like a potential landlord (if anyone has and had a great response I would like to hear your story, maybe I will try it) or school admissions, etc., noooo......

    Even now and then my close friends will say a comment and not realize how offensive/hurtful it is to me. I just rather keep it on a need-to-know basis.
