How To Run A Blog Effectively Without A Laptop by explosivesedo: 6:54pm On Jan 06, 2018 |
Well I decided to put up this lucrative article as a result of some doubts among newbie bloggers or wannabe bloggers who think blogging is too much a task to handle and also must require a special tool such as a laptop. It is a fact crystal clear to everyone reading this that blogging is done with a laptop but no one said it cannot be done otherwise, take note. I wouldn't mean to say blogging is easy, no "its way harder than anyone could imagine" Speaking of blogging in the easy term means blogging for the fun of it. But when we should understand that blogging is hard is when we have to blog for monetization. Now, a question popped up yesterday from an article I published. The question read "Can I blog without a laptop?" Wow I was astonished as I saw this question and I knew I needed to answer this question in details and so to clear the air. The said question received several negative answers from several people as to bring down the morale of who asked the meaningful question but I am taking out time to answer this. Before I proceed, I will wish to ask my own version of the same question; "Can I whatsapp with my smart phone?" Of course this is a silly question to ask right? Then I presume the former question was no less silly. Note: when I started blogging I started out with my smartphone MOTOROLA HDRAZAR 3. Why You Must Blog With any Device If you ever had passion for blogging but not having a laptop is the fact limiting you, then I suggest you do not have any problem at all. If we can understand better, smartphones are better at some handy social media platforms like whatsapp, Facebook, Nimbuzz and several others, then why can't it be good to blog with? Without further ado, I would like to explain the detailed steps to blogging without a laptop but with simply a smartphone. Follow these guides explained below; STEP 1: Get a smartphone The reason I said get a smartphone is because some people may not have smartphones but will have the passion for blogging. To those who already have a smartphone, keep at it and wait for the second step. Make sure your smartphone is built in with 3GB ram at least and a large memory space for data saving. Some smartphones have little data space and low RAM, maybe 1GB RAM. STEP 2: Get a good Sim with good network coverage Get a good Sim with a good service support in your area. Sometimes, service issues limit some people from blogging be it as you may be blogging with a laptop or phone. So it is immensely advised you get a Sim with a good network coverage around you. With this you will escape the hitchup with network and fraustrations that come alongside it. STEP 3: Get a good data plan This is the part where most people fail. Blogging with either laptop or phone must call for data usage and when I say data I mean huge data. If you are a Nigerian and you reside in major cities with good network coverage, I advise you go for GLO as they offer the cheapest data. You can start out your journey with at least #1200 subscription for 1.5GB for MTN and AIRTEL. Note: this is not social medias you could buy goodybags for this operation calls for real data. STEP 4: Get a good web browsing platform/application Several android phones come with them Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox but if you do not have any of these go ahead and download them. You can also download the internet explorer or the safari if you're using an Apple iPhone. These high end browsers allows you to see your website from a different perspective and better than the Opera Mini Browser which sometimes hides cookies and doesn't display all websites contents. When this is done you can not move to the next step. STEP 5: Start out your blog At this point you're as good as anything to start publishing. This is where you have to select where you wish to publish and the platform you're using. Basically, we have the two best blogging platforns, . The wordpress . The Blogger If you're using the wordpress platform, go to any of the browsers and type in https://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin and login using username and password. On the blogger platform, makse sure your gmail is signed in on the browser then enter blogger.com and your blog will appear and you're good to go. Wrap up Running a website without a laptop is as easy as ABC, with this detailed guide I suppose you can now run a website using your smartphone and see your blog grow. Several pro bloggers today started their journey with their smartphones, an example is the admin @blogincomes.com.ng.

While you can do all things with your smart phones .....including graphics.. Things like blogging, editing your blog post , webpages and the rest its much much better with your laptops, ( Mimi, big ) or worst still with tabs rather than phones.... That's my opinion though, except on a situation of extreme emergency , using my phone for any of the above doesn't occur. 2 Likes |

Rightly said. in addition you should always use the blogger and WordPress Android apps to manage your blog. A previous version of the WordPress app was so good, you change blog themes, customise it, and do pretty much everything you'd normally do PC with it. |

Sapiosexuality: That's why I said that's my own personal opinion. That's why we have tabs also, in case of emergency I use my tab to do some of these. To me blogging is a serious business and your phone is not a convenient tool for that. |

DJBIGGY: LOL.. It can't be true. Before you start blogging with your mobile phone, make sure you get someone to help you design your blog with all the necessary SEO features. You will only have to concentrate on publishing your post, adding pic and videos. I'll still recommend 1. Evernote : one of the best note taking app 2. Google Chrome : This app is better than Firefox when it comes to blogging. Writing from experience, Firefox won't open blogger platform well like Google Chrome. 3. Blogit : 100% times better than the blogger official app, if you're not good with HTML, this app won't give you tough time to quickly edit your post. 4. Smartphone with at least 1gb ram. I think this will do. |

Well said! But blogging with a phone is hard. Just think of it: typing, editing, resizing, formatting and designing etc. Such blogger will most likely depend on copy and paste except he won't be uploading the blog frequently. Even at that it is still hard. Even an android tablet or a Windows tablet without a keyboard is not convenient for blogging not to talk of a phone. One thing though: If you think you can blog on a phone, go for it. I believe that many bloggers today started with their phones before making the transition to PCs. |

Wanted to open my blog but was directed to a page asking for the sum of 96 US DOLLARS which is annual payment of 8dollars monthly. Response from experience bloggers in the house please. If I make the payment, does it cover the hosting and domain cost? If I'm to use my gtb debit card to make payment, how much in naira equivalent will my bank debit me. Please, some one should explain all I'm required to know cuz my dream has always been to publish my passion about political issues to the whole world. I'm tired of engaging in argument with few people on the streets and in the bus when I can have access to larger audience through blogging. Thanks in advance for good advice. |
