    Just wondering, do any of you rely on DP for a full time job?

    How would somebody get paid to reply on DP all day unless they were the owner, or maybe mods? :)

    Unless you mean by making sales on DP all day long. I certainly don't but I am somewhat new here. I have already had several successful transactions since starting to post here though. :)

    Well, yeah some people can manage to make a living here. By making sales almost everyday and making like a weekly income of maybe 500-800.

    You never know...

    Nah, I don't think so. Plus, it would be better to work anyway, you could use benefits like vacations, health insurance, etc.

    Um, that's not true at all. Sure if you are making close to the same amount as you made at your job, then the benefits are starting to look nice.. but if you make much more, then who needs benefits?

    I'd rather pay for my own health insurance and pick my own vacation times and make enough to do so than have somebody tell me where I need to be and when. It's much better working for yourself. :)

    I don't think any regular member can rely on DP for a full time job. Winning contests and rendering services to other DP members is not a stable source of income.

    I don't think he means from webmastering but from other activities here such as seeling sites, link, domain and what have you.

    It's be pretty hard to have a full-time job on DP because the income is not stable and can fluctuate greatly.
