You Might Be an Internet Marketer If…
1. It takes you twenty mintues to explain to your family what you do for a living and they still don’t quite “get it”.
2. You wake up in the middle of the night and can’t resist checking your email and your stats on the way to the bathroom.
3. When the first thing you do in the morning is check your stats – before you’ve had breakfast or brushed your teeth.
4. You eat all your meals at your computer.
5. You start having withdrawal symptoms when you’re away from the computer for too long.
6. When you can’t sleep because you’re too excited about your next big project.
7. When working online has become more fun than work.

All this is so true, I have lost too many hours of sleep thinking about the next big idea and checking stats to no avail.

Ha ha – I love the first one…it also particularly applies to my friends – they literally have no idea what i’m talking about and think that I’m either wasting my time or are involved in scams! Too bad, because I love this job!
Nice one Kim.

Kim,
I love the videos! I’ve already put some of this stuff to use. Please keep it coming…
Alex,
“Too bad, because I love this job!” You said the “J” word! J.O.B. stands for Just Over Broke. :-)
Having fun is NOT a job.
P.S. I’m teasing ya, I love it too!

Hey Kim, here’s another one…
8. Every time you go offline and walk on the streets you feel like you’ve just traveled on a time machine to the past. “How can this people be so rudimental with their brick and mortar business?”
Ever happened to you?

I can relate to every one of those points.
Herez my addition:
“Your family prefers to leave you alone when you are working, because they are bored listening about IM, blogs, twitter n blah blah blah” :)
@peter I try hard to conceal that feeling :)
