As you can probably tell due to my lack of posting I haven’t had much success getting anything done. I’ve been doing lots of visiting and family stuff and have had to recover from several whiskey-induced hangovers so really haven’t had the time or been in the mood. I’m definitely giving myself a true to life test of what it’ll be like once I start travelling but it looks like I’m failing miserably!
Anyway… on to the post. Because I’ve been catching up with people I haven’t seen in awhile I’ve found myself doing a lot of talking about my travel plans and the question about whether I plan to work on the road usually pops up at some point and that’s when I mention my websites. I think I’ve explained the ways of Adsense and affiliate programs to about 14,563 people so far.
I’m kind of to the point now that I’m a bit sick of explaining everything, not because I don’t like talking about it, but because I assume that people really don’t care. The strange thing is that most people seem really fascinated by the whole thing. They’re surprised that someone can actually earn money from websites and they want to know more and the questions keep flowing my way. Either that or they’re being polite!
It got me thinking about how many times I’m going to find myself explaining what I do to people I meet during my travels. As much as I love talking about earning money with my websites and encouraging people to do the same, I really think that explaining the ins and outs of the business to everyone I meet will start to suck the life out of me.
I’m thinking that I might be better off just saying I plan to teach English in China and moving on to the next topic of conversation. Who wants to talk about work anyway?
