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 <a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/category/photoshop-tutorial/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">few</a> 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. Thanks all :-)

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. :) Congrats Hongkiat and welcome to the club!
