Absolutely, DIY takes just way longer. But it's a great industry in that once you know the "recipe", you can take $50k worth of investment and have a hit almost 8 out of 10 times.

Not looking to sell right now though. This site is in a field I have more than an amateur interest in. I plan to stick around with it for a while :)

From what I've seen, there are two recipes:

1. Great content + organic backlinks. It's slow and takes skill (especially in content ideation and creation) but the results will be enduring

2. Great content + cheap, paid backlinks. This one is much faster but requires a budget and there is a substantial risk that Google will simply shoot down your rankings

You can't compromise on content though
