This was a thread from the awesome Warrior Forum, and I thought I’d share the gems here :). A lot of them are paraphrased, but you get the idea.

So, here we go - YOU MIGHT BE AN INTERNET MARKETER IF…

• It takes you twenty minutes to explain to people what you do for a living and they still don’t quite get it (hint from Melanie - tell them you’re a freelance writer )
• You never know what day it is without checking.
• When you wake up in the middle of the night and feel you MUST check your email on the way to the bathroom.
• When you check your Clickbank and Adsense stats before you check your email.
• You watch more YouTube videos on backlinks, conversion tracking and traffic generation than you do people getting injured.
• When you get more emails from lists you’re subscribed to than people you actually know. And by a pretty wide margin, too.
• You eat all your meals at your computer.
• When you really *DO* “Make Money While You Sleep”
• When you’re looking for the WSO section in Barnes and Noble.
• When you go to a nightclub with at least 100 hot women and you think to yourself, “If I could just get a 1% conversion rate…”
• You have an exotic parrot that’s learned to talk and it just keeps repeating “The money’s in the list, the money’s in the list,” over and over.
• You feel lost when spending more than six or so hours away from your computer.
• You have dreams about off-page optimization and latent semantic indexing.
• When you know what all of the following mean - HTML, WSO, CSS, SEO, IM, PHP, WP, PR, ROI.
• When people ask you how your Weight Loss or Dating is going, and you think they’re asking about your niches.
• When people on five continents know your name but your neighbors don’t.

HERE ARE MINE -

• When your friends tell you how “lucky” you are “not to have to work” and think you’re being petty when you try to explain that it wasn’t luck and it IS work.
• When you actually scream out loud when MyBlogLog shows you that Liz Tomey visited your blog.
• It boggles your mind to think that the population at large has NO IDEA why Google returns the results it does in the order they appear, and you find it difficult to remember when you were part of that population.
• When you only really *need* to work 3 or 4 hours a day, but you spend 4 or 5 more reading and studying because you’re obsessed!

AND LASTLY….

• When you think of all the things you “wanted to be when you grew up” as a kid, and none of them even come close to holding a candle to how amazing your life is now.
