Hi,
I can try to start again.
A couple of years ago, I read on the internet that they had stopped selling the Glacier Mints, in Norway, and that custommers in Norway, missed them.
I was unemployed so I thought I could sell them on QXL, (a Norwegian version of E-bay almost), since I'd found them, here in the UK.
QXL wanted me to send them a deposit, since I didn't live in Norway.
I was unemployed, so I couldn't afford to pay the deposit.
But I could affort to rent a web-hotel, (because One sold them for £10 a year).
And I found a free web-shop-programme, (osCommerce), on the internet.
So I started a web-shop, which I explained about, to the Williamsson Sq. jobcentre, which was my local jobcentre then.
Mark there told me this business was a 'hobby', so I didn't have to explain about it in detail to the Jobcentre.
Then the Jobcentre put me on the Work Programme.
Where I got a complaint since I didn't speak Finish.
I had to move to Sunderland due to problems with my landlord.
Ingeus in Sunderland told me to buy a double entry ledger, for my web-shop.
I moved back to Liverpool, this spring.
I've started publising some old material on my blog, as self-publish-books, with CreateSpace.
I got around £20 in royalites, for these books, last month.
I sent an e-mail to the Jobcentre, (which ended up at your office in Sheffield), and agreed to bring this up, at Aintree Jobcentre on my next sign-on-meeting, (which was Thursday, twelve days ago).
I was told the royalities were a part-time-job.
Now I wonder why the royalities are a part-time-job while my e-business is just called a hobby.
I think these are a bit similar, so I don't understand why one is called a hobby and the other a part-time-job.
Why do the Jobcentre tell me one is a hobby and one is a part-time-job?
Does this mean I have to fill out forms regarding the book-publishing but not regarding the e-business?
(I think this seems a bit inconsistent) 🙂
Best regards,
Erik Ribsskog
