Unemployment Benefits Denied Due To Hobby Website In New York

[brooklyn_newyork]

I was sent a letter that stated "you are the sole proprietor of an active ongoing business, "mywebsite.com". Based on evidence you have an investment to protect and stand to gain financially from the continued operation of this business. Thus it is considered you are not totally unemployed. "

My website has photos/paintings/songs/links and no paypal or money mentioned. I have never sold anything on my website and I have never made any money through my website. What should I do? and help me understand.

You were likely also notified of your appellate rights, so you would want to appeal and assert that this is a hobby site that generates no revenue.
