haha, but they know I don't know how to do that!

I've thought of this, but they'd expect to see pictures and hear all about it. Unless I say I'm a non-nude webcam model, but they'd be smarter than that.
I'm thinking of starting Passion Parties and tell them I moderate forums and sell cookies in the meantime. I'm also still applying at a few normal jobs here and there, but only to jobs I'd enjoy, like thrift stores and adult bookstores.

similar here. the in laws have threatened to kill me and several other really really nasty things so we'd like one less thing for their fire. they're 65 and 50 so they shouldn't be around too much longer with all the enemies they make and their health problems. we'd just like to keep them from pestering us a little longer. what with the mary kay everyone buys the story. i don't sell it to anyone but myself and my mother, but no one knows that.LadyBakes said:
I work at a pet shop during the day, and so I'm able to blame a bunch of my income on that. But they know it's a minimum wage job, so it doesn't explain the ability to move out and get an apartment. I tell them that I work a second job: online customer service. They are all like 'good for you!' .. Yes, good for me indeed.
I have no problem telling OTHER people what I do.. but my family is a tricky subject. At least I'm not *lying* to them. I'm just not filling in all the details.

This is a neat thread, as I am still deciding what I'd like to tell people who I don't feel need to know what I do.
I agree that yes, there is a good chance people will find out on their own anyways. I don't agree that it is everyone's business.
I have told some family members but they don't need details on the things I do sexually. If you had a husband or boyfriend, you wouldn't feel obliged to discuss what the two of you do in the bedroom with your family members would you? That's just creepy.
And quite frankly, some of what I earn as a cam girl has nothing to do with anything sexual. It only gets sexual when or if I want it to. But even if I was sitting on cam doing myself 24 hours day, I still don't think we owe it to anyone to disclose these details. That's no body's business except for the people sitting behind their computers watching. And if that happens to be a friend from high school, then it is what it is.
I am very aware that anyone can find me online. Even with the location block. There's twitter and such... but if someone found me online and confronted me about it in real life, I'd simply smile and leave it to their imagination.
I chose to share my sexuality with the world. I may not have the power to choose who gets to watch it... but I still maintain the power to chose what I want to share and when I chose to share it.

My mom knows what I do, as do my friends. But I still run in to people all the time that I would rather not tell them that I'm a cam model. I bartend a few nights a week but they know I have another job. I tell people I do copyediting work for adult companies (which I have done before), or depending on who it is and if I think they'll be cool, I say I'm a phone sex operator (I actually told my mom I was a PSO at first, to see how she would react; eventually one day, she asked if the people I'm talking to could see me. When I hesitated, she was like, "Ahhh, ok"). I've learned that a lot of people are fairly accepting of this. I'm ok with people thinking I'm a little strange. And then I can still talk about some things I do and it doesn't feel like such a big lie.
I've never felt comfortable saying I'm a regular model --I'm 5'4" and wear and wear a size 8, not exactly model size.

I feel the same about saying I'm a model. Also, if you say you're a regular model people want to see photos and ask questions about what agency, how you got into it, what you're making, etc.
I just told my mom I've been selling cookies and am planning to do Passion Parties. Teavana is hiring near me, and that'd be a fun a job. So hopefully I'll have a regular part-time job soon. I'll still come on MFC quite often if I get it, though.
I have a friend that has her own little business updating pictures on websites. It's something you can say you do and do from home. To stop them from stopping by tell them it is just regular work, and not to disturb you. Just like they shouldn't come to your office.
Currently I tell my mom that I am doing web design for a small company in a near by neighborhood. I get to work from home except for twice a month when I go in for meetings. She's a bit more willing to believe I work from home if there is an actual place I have to go to now and then and there is.
I actually looked up web design jobs and found one close by. She knows the location and that I am only there on meeting days so there is no need for her to show up at work. She can just catch me when I get back. I conveniently am always back from meetings about an hour before she gets off work.
I can't talk while doing design because I sometimes have to chat with clients via phone or webcam. I also do meetings via cam. She is so concerned about my doing good at work that she will never bother me if she thinks it will distract me or hurt my job in any way.
I made sure there was a website and read through the whole thing to insure nothing could give me away.
If she asks to see my work I show her dreamweaver with a css file pulled up and tell her it won't look right until it's live. I also mess around creating sites a lot so there will always be something new, and even live sites to show her if necessary.
I don't intend to tell her this forever but right now it's kind of necessary. She believes I quit a very good job for an even better one and if I told her what that was the lack of an actual company with benefits would freak her out. I have to wait until I am well established and have the money and then I might tell or... or if I get my novel published we'll just move onto my being a writer, hahaha.

I work in a retail store, getting shit hours. Lately I've been getting 8 hours a week, which I can't live off of. My mom questions how I live, but I tell her my S.O. pulls most of it together and pays for a lot. But I just bought a TV the other day, so I can't tell her we're buying all this awesome stuff with none of my money. Hard to explain as well with the new apartment we are getting which is way more expensive and stuff than ours. I tell her I'm fine and my hours are getting me by.
But they are not.

Yeep! So my dad finally directly asked what I did yesterday. Here's what I told him:
I told him I work for a company that's similar to a temp agency, but for online work. I told him you keep them up to date on your qualifications, and they'll lend you out for projects. The projects thing opens you up to having to learn to do new internet things, which increases your skill set, thus enabling you to earn more money as you work with them. I told him that the NDA I had to sign was a blanket NDA, meaning that ANYTHING I do in that company can't be directly discussed.
Might seem like a little overkill, but my dad worked in tech for most of my life, so he knows aaaall the bothersome details to ask. But at least I have a believable backstory. -phew-

"I work for the government...no I can't tell you anything else, it could compromise national security."

(nosy bitches, you are not my parents wtf you want from me)

My mom received my MFC 1099 form so she knows how much I made (which was an assload) last year. She assumes I do some sort of marketing job for the website. She warned me "if it seems too good to be true, it probably is", and I kind of wish I had the guts to tell her the truth so she could be shocked at how well her baby girl is doing, but she's uber conservative and would freak out about my occupation
Tell people you sell stuff online on Ebay. if they question why you dont have a house full of product, tell them you list and sell stuff that is filled and shipped by a dropshipper.
Which you can actually set up and do for real, in a limited way to make the lie only a semi-lie.
Someone ill find out eventually. I agree with Alex.
If my daughter was making a decent living all by herself, I wouldn't care if she was a stripper a cam girl or a lawyer. She's an adult, when I was her age I did as I pleased where I pleased, and my folks if they had any clue what I was doing would have been pretty pissed off at times, I have no doubt. I lied to them too, when it was just easier than explaining the truth.
I'd be far more concerned that some whacko would try to find her and harm her, rather than be concerned with what she was doing for a living.... so you have to expect a parent to sort of have that WTF moment when they find out.
It's the 21st century, parents have to come into the light with everyone else, I cant see any parent who grew up in the age I did (I'm 46) having a big issue with it. But I grew up in a very open minded social setting, with fairly open minded parents. (religious as they were back then, at times).
Every family is different, you know best how yours would react to the idea.....
Perhaps, if you showed them how in control of it you are and, how much you make and stand to make in the future, that would help, if they had a better understanding of it all.
Unless you have conservative religious folks, in which case, a really good lie might just be way easier.
lol
Whatever you make up to tell people, you better be able to back it up to some degree, because it only takes ONE smart ass little bastard with a chip on his/her shoulder to out what you really do.

No offense to non-MFC models but I really do feel like just saying I am a camgirl gives the wrong impression of what I do. I agree that perhaps if my family truly understood how MFC works they'd be more okay with my job.
While dirty acts are a large part of my job, being entertaining and sweet and talkative and interesting are likely an even bigger part. I'm actually proud of my job, I just don't think most other people can wrap their head around it like that.

Then call it something else. Which as you point out, it probably should be a title that better fits the job.
In Japan (and also in other countries) it is not at all uncommon for businessmen to pay for a non sex escort. Very busy men often will pay good money for good quality female company for dinner, events, ect.
So your job is lets say, 60% non sexual social interaction. I say then you gals need a better title than camgirl, camwhore or online model.
The title "Web Hostess" is maybe a better one. I suck at making up job titles.
How about, a "Social network host/hostess".
I'm sure someone can come up with better.
A good title can make a job look so much better.

Online councellor or therapist would work, just leave out the naked part (and there is a large element of this to our jobs so it's not really a lie).
If anyone says that you're not qualified, you can point out the fact that you can be ordained to marry people without having to study anything via certain websites and that similiarly councelling doesn't necessarily require qualifications...

"Online suicide hotline live chat councilor"
Tell people it's very important that you do not be disturbed between 6pm and midnight.... these poor suicidal souls need your undivided attention.
Yeah, that's the ticket...
I LOVE "Online Geisha"! I am also fond of "Fantasy Artist", "Human Interaction Specialist", "Online Instructor" (hey, you could be instructing them in a lot of things if you wanted!), "Actress", "Visual Artist", and a variety of other ones.
I tell everyone I am a web designer as I said above, but I tell myself I am a Fantasy Artist... Online Geisha might replace that though...
