Thanks for stopping in and welcome to the world of blogging! Yes, blogging is not an overnight success and takes time to build although some build a lot faster than others . Taking on an assistant is a natural progression but you need to make money first if not from the actual blog at least in the niche that you are blogging about.

BTW …. hopped on over to your site but no blog for comments.

Yes, as your business grows we need to turn to outsourcing. I have hired a local part time assistant and that is making a huge difference in how I spend my time. This way even though I gave up some of my income to start with, I am in a better position to drive more business/income, and I am doing those things that I love and do best.

Diversifying and including different tools to grow your internet marketing is the way to go. Blogging, I believe, is integral to the success of any business that has an online presence. It may take longer, the results may not be stupendous, but they grow deep roots and continue to support the business long after other methods have had their run and grown tired.

Don’t know if having two hosting companies is critical … just make sure you have everything backed up independent of the hosting company you are currently using. This may be more important if you are hosted by a small independent company – I am all for supporting small business whenever I can but too many people I know who have used a small local hosting company and found that lo! It has disappeared! In this case my choice is one of the bigger more established ones.
