Off hand I'd say it should read - 100% of the audience 100% OF THE TIME - but would need to know the context to be certain.

I see you put in your profile your native language as Spanglish.
I would have thought this question wouldn't have needed to be asked by a native English speaker.

Your company doesn't pay you?

wow you are so clever silty1, did you arrive at that conclusion all by yourself? or did your grandma helped you?
Btw, your use of capitals is inconsistent - "Internet" and "internet-style" - you should opt for one and stick to it (IMO, it should be capitalised).

It needs proofing. Style is awkward, capitalisation and acronyms inconsistent, hyphens shaky, prepositions incorrect. Oh, and sentence one is missing a word.

"Slingshot has been engineered

Seriously, pay a professional.

I'm also surprised that your company pays no salary

I think "real time" doesn't need a hyphen since it's being used as a noun.
