How do you explain to people what you do for a living?


1

As entrepreneurs, we rarely wear one hat to be able to say "I'm a web developer". If you are a solo entrepreneur who makes a living on the internet, how do you explain what you do for a living at generic social events.

I say I am an entrepreneur when talking to people far from the startup circles. If they ask for a clarification or if I talk to techies I say that I run a software company.

When talking to entrepreneurs I usually say I own a "B2C SAAS business", which is specific enough to relate to or to give my experiences or opinions more context.

Depends on the audience. I run a small software company is usually the one most people understand that aren't startup people themselves.

If they press me further, I do a complete 360 and say "I'm kidding, I'm actually a drug dealer" :)
