Mom, I’m a Problogger! - How to tell a Secret
Posted on March 29th, 2008 by Jorge under Blogging
I decided to tell my mom that I have blog. “What?”, she said. “A blog.”, I said. Wait a minute I’m gonna put this into a dialog. It’s way more cooler:
Me: It’s a kind of website that it’s updated regularly. The correct word is weblog.
Mom: I still don’t understand.
Me: It’s like a website.. On the Internet.
Mom: That’s wasting time.
Me: No way! In fact I’m earning some money.
Mom: There he is… Thinking that he will become rich and famous…
Me: Maybe… This kind of business is very popular nowadays and if well managed it has lots of potential.
Mom: Really?! Then show me where you work.
Me: I only need a computer and an Internet connection. I have no store or office.
Mom: That’s exactly what I’m trying to tell you: your business doesn’t exist!
Me: No?! Really?! Then these $100 bills don’t exist, right? No problem, I’m gonna buy some stuffs with this “money that doesn’t exist”.

Thanks! In Portugal, this way of making money and living is not taken very serious so I writed this post as a critic to the notion of “not making real money from blogs”.
Take care.

:)…That’s a very funny conversation. But anyway, I’m sure I will have the some problem when explaining about blog to my parents. They still expect the children to use official uniform and go to office everyday to earn some money :)…

My dad is still skeptical that the number he see in Paypal are REAL MONEY. He’s gonna test it out by paying for it and buying something on Ebay. Can’t wait to see his expression when the package arrives!
