I'm Not a Guru

Because I earn my living writing for websites, people have the idea that I know a lot about everything on the web. I'm almost to the point where I don't want to tell people that I work online. We met a couple the other day and as soon as I said what I do he started grilling me about website affiliate programs. I don't run a website and I don't know anything about affiliate programs. Unfortunately, it took a great deal of talking to convince him of that.
