So, what do I do?

I don't know how many of you are curious about what I do at work, but I'll tell you anyway.

My job title is "Marketing Assistant". One of the main things I do is look for blogs and other websites to put a banner ad on, contact the website/blog owner to see if they are interested in having our ad on their site, and go from there. Essentially, I get paid to surf the web, which is a pretty sweet deal. But I make sure to only do work-related web surfing. I waited a long time to get this job; I don't want to lose it over personal web surfing! But it's not like my web surfing is boring. That couldn't be further from the truth; it's a lot of fun.

One of our main advertising targets are food storage and emergency preparedness blogs. There are only so many of those that we can generate a lot of traffic from, so I've been branching out in my blog/website search. I don't know how much information I can share because I signed a non-disclosure agreement and I don't know how many of you are going to start rival food storage/emergency preparedness companies ;)

I do other "administrative" duties, if you will. My department is pretty new, so we are working on getting things organized. And because I have a background in writing/editing, I am often called on to edit things, whether it be articles to go into magazines, letters, website articles, etc. I have also done a little copywriting.

So, that's what I do and I really enjoy it. It's not a lot of pay, but it doesn't matter that much to me. I'd rather do a job I love and get paid less than work at a job I HATE and get paid more.
