About Archie

I’m Archie M. de Lara, born and raised in Nueva Ecija, Philippines and currently resides in Taguig City, Metro Manila .

I took up my Bachelors in Science Degree on Food Technology in Central Luzon State University and immediately worked with various food companies engaged into bakery and restaurants.

In my attempts of liberalizing myself financially by aiming for high-income jobs, I shifted my career into transcription (as educated at MTC Academy) after about 5 years in the food industry. It was a quick decision after engaging into various small entrepreneurial endeavors among which was being a part-time Sales Counselor for PhilAm Plans. While working as Medical Transcriptionist (MT) in Advanced MT Data, I also gained experience in teaching and at one time, was employed at PeopleSupport also as an MT.

Upon learning of the phenomenal surge of the popularity of the web, I started writing for Internet Sites and blogging in 2007. This further presented an opportunity for me to explore home based transcription which I actively started when I became an OFW in Saudi Arabia working as Medical Transcriptionist at King Fahd Armed Forces Hospital in Jeddah . I returned to the Philippines in October 2009 after my contract ended and is again on a prowl for MT job opportunities abroad to supplement my home-based MT income-generating activities.

Having to have been progressively working as an independent/home-based transcriptionist/writer, I’m fascinated on how to earn more through the Internet by blogging, hence this website
