Hi,
a couple of years ago, I spoke with Mark, (I think his name was), at the Jobcentre, in Williamsson Sq., here in Liverpool, about my web-shop.
He said my web-shop was a hobby, and that I didn't have to explain about it in detail, to the Jobcentre.
Now recently, I've published some old material, from my blog, (which I started in 2007), as self-publish books.
I've gotten some royalites from this.
(Like I've informed you earlier).
And now, at the Jobcentre in Aintree, they tell me this is a part-time job, and I have to fill out some forms.
Why is the web-shop a hobby while the book-royalites are a part-time job?
This is inconsistent and confusing, I think.
I think the book-publishing should be a hobby as well then, when the web-shop is.
I do this on my spare-time, and alway show my job-search-diary, at sign-on-meetings, at the Jobcentre.
So this is something I do after finishing my jobsearch.
How can one be a hobby and the other a part-time-job?
I think this is very strange, I think that when you say the web-shop is a hobby, then you have to say the self-publishing is a hobby, as well.
Hope that you agree with me on this.
Yours sincerely,
Erik Ribsskog
