    I'm full time with online marketing if that counts Luckily though, I am starting offline and already having that experience and not having to worry about a 9-5 job is definitely going to be helpful. Hope to soon be pulling in a "full time" income from the offline world.

    Been online full-time since august 8th of this year and I'm almost earning full-time income as a result of my being led by a top 2% earner and a team that spends a lot of time doing scalable advertising. I don't do any not productive activities. For example I don't even check my email anymore...(ok, im lying! I check it once a day). The rest of the time I'm marketing, Marketing, MARKETING!!!

    I do offline and online marketing so you could say I'm full-time for both marketing practices.

    I've been part/full-time since October-ish.

    Left my full-time job which was in the onsite tech support field.
    Went back to school for something that's pretty useless.

    I want to finish out this degree (Psychology), but do something I love, which is design and online/offline marketing.

    Starting next semester I'll be taking what I started in all my free time this semester, scaling it out to a full-time career (aiming for +$5000-10000/month consistent), and taking nightschool classes.

    Over the winter break I'll be studying up to do my HTML/CSS Certificate from W3C (really easy, could probably do it today) and my Zend PHP Certificate (not easy).

    Did offline business development full time from Jan 05 - Sep 08 (offered a good role); sat out in US Immigration (not allowed to work) from Nov 09 - Aug 10, and have been full time at it since Aug 2010.

    I've always believed in taking charge of my own income, and not being beholden to any one source. Even when I worked a regular FT job, I always had a weekend gig. If one client or source of income cannot be dealt with any longer, I do not want that to be a killer.

Reselling their Internet Business Model (still a member) In 2008, I formed my own Offline Marketing Company for Retail Businesses.

    This is a little challenging for me to answer because I have not worked full time in little over two years. You see I charge average of $2500 a day for my services. I am privileged to only work part time in the offline world as it is which affords me time to work in the online world.

    My goal is to help as many people as I can create their own freedom as well.

    Projections to equal and pass my offline income (which I enjoy too much to stop) will happen within the next 13 months.

    I will be full time by February next year, not by choice but because I have been laid off.

    However it is a blessing in disguise. Sometimes life just gives us a kick in the rear so that we end up exactly where we were meant to be

    I am loving the thought of not having to face the morning traffic anymore.
