By
Real Estate Agent

I'm pretty much across the board identifying with all the categories to an extent.  Good thing I don't look like the guy in the photo, though!  I'm too busy to nap!

Thankfully, I fall into the first category.  I am surprised that it's only 18%!

I'm guessing (and hoping) the "creator" category is the most profitable (as long as you don't spend too much time on the computer and balance blogging with facetime with your clients)

I would say I am a bit of the creator and the joiner.  I too am surprised that more aren't creators

Hi Marcy & Charles - we are a combination of all of the above, just depends on the day :)

Jason and Naoma- I was surprised by the results too.

Julie - I hope so too!

Kevin & Monica - Sort of surprised that 44% are inactives.  I am much more of a critic right now, but would like to be a creator.
