    How many of you live off of just the income from the internet?

    As in no other part time or full time job at all but just internet income?

    I bet the results will surprise me :eek:

    I live on the internets not off of it!

    I wish it were the other way around :)

    I don't really make much money at all on the internet.. I'm just sort of making smart ass responses in the General Chat forum to get my 25 posts and start advertising my services. And I have to wait 13 days, too.

    I reckon I'll also learn a lot browsing these forums, hopefully that will boost my internet income as well.

    Agreed - this would be an interesting poll :)

    I am at about 50% - by the end of this financial year I hope to be full-time...

    The people living on income entirely from the internet probably either don't want to post here, as a risk of being harassed with questions, or are too busy making money as we speak :rolleyes:

    I never had a job

    Freelancing is my main income and i'm 22 years old soo ... :) I gues i'm voting option 2

    PS : Option 4 in a forum of webmasters hasn't his place as if someoane answers = they know what's internet becouse they use it :)

    Lol, that was me. I didn't feel right not using the poll, that seemed to be the best fit. No part time job, on account of school, but my internet income does make me nice spending cash.

    I don't make a living from the net, I'm just 16 and I don't live on my own. I do however make all of my money from the net.

    So I'm not sure what to vote..

    I'll go with the first option. :confused:

    I make all of my money from freelancing. Websites never had that "immediate money" deal and you had to spend a lot of time advertising before anyone even cared. This made stuff like SEO and graphic design worthwhile for me since the "time spent" to "pay" ratio is awesome. :D

    I have not been an employee since 1989. Since then I have made all my money from my company, which started as a print newsletter publisher, then migrated to fax, then a a BBS, email via UUCP around 1992 and then to the web in 1995. I has been many many years since the internet accounted for over 90% of my sales.

    The thread starter should have gave the option of "making money from freelancing and websites." Since both options were separate, I couldn't vote.

    In any event, I make all my money off the net, and it is the best thing that has ever happened to me.......I can go anywhere I want, and as long as I'am connected, I can get paid and make money. Screw working for someone else, a 9 to 5 job sucks...

    For those off you who are still working 9 to 5 because you're scared of losing the "security" of your job, you should know that you are much more secure starting out on your own than working for someone who is ruthless, and who does not have your best interests at heart.

    Earning in the internet is just my part time job. I have a day job that I'll be quitting soon so that I can make more money through the internet. :D
