Hi Ermballa,
Indeed getting your blog up and running is no easy task. I have to agree that guest blogging is a great idea to spread your network, as well as writing lots and lots of articles. However the best suggestion that I could recommend is to hire a VA.
Yes, finding the right VA who is knowledgeable about your topics and have the ability to write well is quite a challenge, but I tell you that there are a lot out there.
I'd like to recommend a reputable VA company in the Philippines named Pepper. Here's their site:

They're a team composed of top caliber professionals with extensive experience in creative writing, copywriting services, SEO and online marketing among many others. Aside from having good articles, they'll also be offering you useful tips to increase your traffic to your site. Hope this helps.
Best,
Rojae
