    I have no way to quantify that but my guess is the ratio would be the same. About 75 percent of our members are full-time journalists so I'm confident 75 percent of our active members fall into that class.

    Not sure why all this matters a twit but there you go.

    Why it matters?

    No big deal, just curious since i´m new to this sportsjournalists forum.

    edit: I'm a fulltime IM'er myself and just started my own snewssite and was just wondering how many of you here are working as a sportsjournalist fulltime.. :)

    I'm a fulltime Internet Marketer, sold 90% of my biz in 2010.. Took a few years off to work on some offline projects but have always been interested in sports and writing so i set up a sports news site (in my sig) just for fun.. Started as a fun project but it really took off fast so now i' m gonna work my ass off to see where i can take this simple site..

    Seems interesting that an Internet Marketer would want stats, especially one who continually promotes his site.

    Somehow, I don't think anything this gentleman would have asked would have satisfied you.

    We have people here who PM full time, so perhaps you can help then cash in on their talents. Take it to IMs and have a nice My Wife Works From Home And Made $110,000 Last Year Day.
