dude…you’re brave.

good luck! *two thumbs up!*

there’s always freelancing…somehow, original creativity is always sorely lacking!

;-)

welcome to the club!

So, any plans to blog full time?
All the best in your future endeavors!

Wow, I wish I can do that too. I want to blog full time and earn 5-figures income!

Dude, I’m surprised you are working… All the while, I thought you are a full time blogger!!!
As I said to most of my friend… The decison you made at that time is the best decision at the moment. Nothing to loss…
Wish to discuss with you more…

my IM: ziligan@hotmail.com

Wow.. congrats!
Well, don’t ever regret the decision that you have made. It’s over. Start anew. You can do it (obviously!) ;)

Believe in Blogging
and you will find money
For money is LOVE

Congrats and all the best!

Thanks for commenting. I’m not sure if full time blogging is what I’m going to do for the long run. I mean blogging will certainly continue but also I’m doing freelance in designs as well. If there is company that offers me both a challenging job and good pay. Why not? Let’s see what the futures holds.

congrats! and good luck being a problogger! malaysia boleh. hehehe

wow, that’s a very great news !

you’ll make it 4 sure ^^ problogger :D

go..go freelancer!

Good luck!

All the bro in whatever you do! :D

I bet you can quit because you’re still not married and do not have family of your own…

Well, you can do that….but this is the time for you to build and accumulate wealth…Think and Create some strategies for the ultimate goal of your life…

I’m planning to do exactly what you’re doing, but I have a lot of responsibilities behind my back….I gotta establish myself first income wise via the virtual world

IMHO, you *could* try being a ‘problogger’ for like a month or two. I mean seriously put 200% effort in it. After that, see whether it’s worth going back to day jobs :)

just my 2 cents.

Good luck HongKiat! Now, you can at least sleep until 12noon ;)

hahah, i would love to sleep till 12.

Like you said HK, if blogging brings you good money and you are planning to be a full time blogger then i wish you good luck. But if you are planning to have something one the side (like my plan), save up some money and make a business plan.

If you are a PRO coder or designer, you should not have problem to find a job in online or physically at least in US, UK, AU & CA.

All the best…

HONG KIAT IS SHOIK..heheheeh..like your campaign on my blog…thank u for supporting my blog..no wonder you have been aggressive promoting your blog over the last few days..all the best man!

Hi Hong Kiat, can we see your portfolio online? I’m a freelance writer who *sometimes*, *once in a blue moon*, need a sidekick designer/writer.

ades: i like your statement…!

you can sleep untill 12.00 noon but you go to sleep at 4.00 a.m.
ha..ha..ha….

anyway, happy blogging guys!

wow, you are really brave!! how i wish i can quit my job!!

Congrats, it’s a big leap but it’s worthwhile ;)

Try your hand at different things, like affiliates, creating a useful site, etc instead of just blogging.

All da best.

Another milestone and the road less taken. All the best.

Congrats Hongkiat and welcome to the club!

My advice to you is to expand from here and not rely solely on blogging - think blog consultant, trainer, etc. Find a niche and build a brandname for yourself, and pretty soon you’ll find people contacting you. And I’m not talking about just other bloggers but big companies and headhunters!

Also now that you’ll be working full-time from home, you should start to network and widen your social circle. You’ll feel great at first but 6 months down the road, you may start to feel lonely not having any colleagues, etc. I know some fulltime webmasters that go into depression and some have resorted to renting offices in town so that they feel a sense of belonging - I was affected by it too.

Anyway, good luck and enjoy your new adventure. :)

weirdoux that’s very true, you may wake up late but sleep always in the morning ;)

Hey, I stopped here to tell you good luck!!!

seems like you have earned a lot of money from your site. he3. mind to share how much you have earned? :p

Gud luck Hong Kiat…

gud luck broooo!

You say you have been head of creative, why don’t launch like a sideblog showing the population some professional Photoshopping and maybe some illustrator tutorials, free files are a visitor magnet…

i would even like to help you, i am now studying for Webdesign and Creative Designer… and i know a lot about SEO :)

greets

GlennDavid

Thanks all :-)

Fayz: I’m experimenting Adwords :-)

Hilary: I’m currently compiling my portfolios and will put it up together with my new theme for hongkiat.com

Larry: I’m already getting the feeling of loneliness.

Moses: Yeah, planning to build few sites. But for now, I wanna finish up current freelance projects in hand first :-)

Cypher: Revenue from hongkiat.com is quite okay but I’m not really comfortable releasing the exact amount though. Let’s just say I earn triple the salary of a normal executives, Malaysian market that’s is.

Glenn: Launching a photoshop tutorial or design related site is somehow what I’m intended to do in the near future however the effort involved in writing tutorials is tedious. I currently have few here in this blog, perhaps when i have a handsome amount of tutorials, I will start an independent site.

I appreciate your kindness, maybe you can add me in IMs and we’ll see what can we learn from each other :-)

Cheers.
