Tech At Hand has been in existence for more than 5Â years and ever since, all blog post in this blog was written either by me or by my wife. I also consider blogging as a business and I am making money out of it. This is not my sole source of income but I could say that it also give a fair share of my monthly income. In fact, my blog earning is what I am using for paying the Lot that I bought at Antel Grand Village (site in progress) in Cavite, as I mentioned in my earlier post. I also love to do experiments and do something out of the box to try new idea and make it into action.
I am also busy doing offline job, which is the reason why updates on this blog is usually every other day or sometimes two times a week. But I can say that earning nowadays is better compared before. So to make a steady flow of traffic and engage more visitors, a constant fresh content is needed for a blog to survive in any updates of Google Algorithm. Content is still the King and Marketing is the queen.
I have come to an idea of investing to hire staff for this blog and for my other blogs. If I have staff to do the research for me, I can focus on handling the on site and offsite optimization. I also believe that a business person should try to know their strength and weaknesses. Those weaknesses shall be outsourced and the strength should be further enhanced.
I also believed that there is no successful business person that runs his business alone without any support from anyone. I will let you know how further updates and I hope it will be a successful experiment.

Hi Dex
I am actually doing this since late March..
I have VAs, Writers and Researchers..
There are up and downsides of doing this though…
All I can say is that, you should find the right person to do the job for you…You should choose someone with the right mindset, attitude and available when you need them 🙂
@Amy,
Great that you are doing this since March.. Late ako dito.. Kaya minsan yung mga blogs ko it take some time para maka take off..
Yup.. Sa ngayon may mga writer pa lang ako.. VA and Researchers.. I need to know how to use them and compensate them.
Tama .. we need to get somebody ” with the right mindset, attitude and available when you need them ” agree 100%..
So How is your mobile business? Doing great..? I stop mine because I got scam through paypal back charge.. 🙁
yap! you can’t go wrong of a store, espclly if it’s in the right location. I had also invested in a small store(mini baqala) in PH a year ago, so far medyo okey naman ang kita kahit nde ganun kalaki.. 😛
@metalpig,
Great,Mini baqala + online promotion di ba ok… local search engine optimization.. 🙂
@sir Dex,

@metalpig,

cheers! 😛
@metalpig,
He he he, 4 more years to go.. I hope it could be paid in full by blogging money 🙂 it’s 27T per month
@sir Dex,
that’s why you’d already bought the Antelgrandvillage.com.ph domain just for the said project. very wise move indeed! 🙂
keep up the good work sir, & God bless! 😛
@metalpig,
Actually I am planning to make a store in the village when it is fully occupied.. This might be after 5 years or more.. But it is good to invest $50 for a better profit later on 🙂
Siguradong ang mga titira doon ay can afford to buy 🙂
