Hi guys, we are back 😉! So my friend Oiza (one lady with a brilliant curious mind) had asked how she can start her own blog; as its something she has always wanted to do. We had a quick chat and decided to make 2 blog post out of it. Here is the part one.

Starting your own blog can be a great way to express your ideas, share your experiences, and connect with people who share your interests. Whether you want to start a personal blog or a blog for your business, the process of creating a blog is easier than ever. In this blog post, we'll walk you through the steps of how to start your own blog.

Step 1: Choose your blogging platform

There are several blogging platforms to choose from, including WordPress, Blogger, Squarespace, and Wix. WordPress and Blogger are two of the most popular options, and both are free to use. WordPress is more flexible and customizable, while Blogger is simpler and more user-friendly. Consider your needs and preferences to choose the best platform for you.

Step 2: Choose a domain name and hosting

A domain name is the web address of your blog, like www.yourblogname.com. You can decide to stick with the free domain name which comes with the extention of the blogging platform you chose in 'Step 1' or you can purchase a domain name through a domain registrar like GoDaddy or Namecheap. For me, I am sticking with .blogspot for now. 

Step 3: Customize your blog's design

Once you are done with the name and address, then you can now start customising from the backend. This is also called the dashboard. Trust me it is super easy and you do not need tech experience for it. Once at the backend, choose a template or theme for your blog and customize it to reflect your brand or personality. You can also add plugins or widgets to enhance your blog's functionality and make it more user-friendly.

Step 4: Create content

This is the most important part for me. Start creating content for your blog. Consider your audience and what topics they might be interested in. You can write about personal experiences, share tips or advice, review products, or discuss industry news. Don't forget to include images or videos to make your posts more engaging. Remember, consistency is key.

Step 5: Promote your blog

Share your blog posts on social media and other relevant platforms to reach a wider audience. Engage with your readers by responding to comments and creating a sense of community around your blog. You know say we dey try for this one but still help spread the word on Media Techie Blog I dey beg. My helper fit dey your timeline.

The part 2 of this post will narrow down to the steps of starting a blog with blogger or wordpress. Starting a blog can be a fun and rewarding experience (especially when its big enough to attract the benjamins). 

Hi guys, welcome back 😉

Our mobile gadgets are an essential component of our life in the current digital era. They are used by us for banking, shopping, work, and communication. We must take precautions to safeguard our mobile devices from cyber threats because they store so much private and sensitive data. Here are some quick guidelines for protecting your mobile device from online dangers:

1. Keep your software up to date: It's essential to keep your mobile device software up to date. Software updates often include security patches that fix vulnerabilities and protect against new threats. Make sure you regularly check for software updates and install them as soon as possible.

2. Use strong passwords: One of the easiest ways for cybercriminals to gain access to your mobile device is through weak passwords. Make sure you use strong, unique passwords that are difficult to guess. Avoid using the same password across multiple accounts, and consider using a password manager to store your passwords securely.

3. Install anti-malware software: Anti-malware software can help protect your mobile device from malicious software that can steal your personal data or damage your device. Consider installing reputable anti-malware software on your mobile device and regularly scan for threats.

4. Enable two-factor authentication: Two-factor authentication is an extra layer of security that requires you to provide two forms of identification to access your accounts. Enable two-factor authentication on your mobile device and any apps or accounts that support it.

5. Be cautious of public Wi-Fi: Public Wi-Fi can be convenient, but it's often unsecured, making it easy for cybercriminals to intercept your data. Avoid using public Wi-Fi to access sensitive information, such as banking or email accounts. If you must use public Wi-Fi, use a virtual private network (VPN) to encrypt your data and protect your privacy.

In conclusion, it's critical to take precautions to protect your mobile device from cyber dangers. You can assist safeguard your personal information and guarantee the security of your mobile device by keeping your software up to date, using strong passwords, using anti-malware software, installing it, turning on two-factor authentication, and being vigilant when accessing unsecured networks.

Helloooooo guys, we are back 😉! I am totally excited about this topic. A few people has jokingly requested that I write on this as well like Martins. See, the truth is there are a ton of ways you can make money online. This writing I am doing, is one of such ways but I have touched on 7 others here. Please feel free to add more in the comment section.

1. Take online surveys: Many companies pay people to take online surveys to gather market research data. There are several apps and websites that connect you with these survey opportunities, such as Survey Junkie, Swagbucks, and Toluna.

2. Sell items online: You can use your mobile device to sell items you no longer need on online marketplaces such as eBay, Amazon, or Facebook Marketplace (even Jiji). Take high-quality photos of your items, write a detailed description, and set a fair price to attract buyers.

3. Participate in freelance work: There are many freelance opportunities available online that can be done using your mobile device, such as graphic design (my canva family gather here), writing, and virtual assistance. You can find freelance opportunities on websites such as Upwork, Fiverr, and Freelancer.

4. Complete micro-tasks: There are several apps that pay you to complete small tasks, such as taking photos of products in-store, scanning barcodes, or transcribing audio recordings. Examples of such apps include Field Agent, Gigwalk, and Amazon Mechanical Turk. 

5. Become a social media influencer: Ghen-ghen! This is the one everyone wants to be right now. If you have a large following on social media, you can earn money by promoting brands and products on your channels. Companies will pay you to post about their products and services, and some will even give you a commission for every sale made through your unique referral link. We should do a whole blog post on how to grow your social media followers 🤔 (just that I am looking for followers too)

6. Invest in stocks and cryptocurrencies: Many investment apps, such as Robinhood and Coinbase, allow you to invest in stocks and cryptocurrencies directly from your mobile device. You can start with a small amount of money and gradually build your portfolio over time (Disclaimer: Please be careful and do proper research on which one you decide to invest in).

7. Create and sell digital products: If you have a talent for creating digital products such as ebooks, courses, or graphics, you can sell them on platforms like Gumroad, Udemy, and Skillshare. These platforms handle the sales and distribution for you, allowing you to earn passive income from your creations.

In conclusion, making money from your mobile device is easier than ever before thanks to the variety of apps and platforms available. Whether you're looking to earn some extra cash or start a full-time business, there are many ways to use your mobile device to your advantage. Just be sure to research each opportunity carefully and choose the ones that best suit your skills and interests. Now do not say I have not done anything for you in this life 😜

Hi guys, we are here with another one 😉! We know how frustrating it can be to have our phone batteries go flat on us. Here are some useful info to help with that.

As we know, mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets have become an essential part of our daily lives. They allow us to stay connected with friends and family, work remotely, and access information on the go. However, one of the biggest challenges with these devices is their battery life. It can be frustrating when your phone or tablet runs out of power just when you need it the most. In this blog post, we will discuss some tips and tricks to improve the battery life of your mobile device.

Adjust your screen brightness

The screen is one of the biggest power-hungry components of your mobile device. Therefore, adjusting the brightness of your screen can have a significant impact on battery life. If you're indoors or in a low-light environment, consider reducing the brightness level to the lowest comfortable setting. If you're outside, try to find a shady spot or increase the brightness level only as much as necessary.

Turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth when not in use

Both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth consume a lot of power, even when you're not actively using them. To save battery life, turn off these features when you're not using them. You can do this easily by swiping down from the top of your screen and tapping on the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth icons.

Close unused apps

Multitasking is one of the most useful features of mobile devices, but it also drains the battery. When you're not using an app, make sure to close it completely. This prevents the app from running in the background and consuming battery power. To close apps on an iPhone, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and swipe the app card up. On an Android device, tap the Recent Apps button and swipe the app away.

Reduce screen timeout

The screen timeout is the amount of time your device waits before turning off the screen when it's not in use. By reducing the screen timeout, you can save battery life by ensuring the screen turns off quickly when you're not using your device. To adjust the screen timeout on an iPhone, go to Settings > Display & Brightness > Auto-Lock. On an Android device, go to Settings > Display > Sleep.

Disable location services

Location services are a handy feature, but they can consume a lot of battery power. Apps that use location services constantly track your device's location, which can quickly drain the battery. To disable location services, go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services on an iPhone, or Settings > Location on an Android device. You can also turn off individual apps' access to location services.

Use airplane mode

If you're in an area with no cell service or Wi-Fi, consider using airplane mode. This disables all wireless connections, which can significantly extend your device's battery life. To enable airplane mode, swipe down from the top of your screen and tap on the airplane icon.

Use battery-saving modes

Most mobile devices come with battery-saving modes that can help extend battery life. These modes reduce the device's performance, turn off background data, and adjust the screen brightness to save power. To enable battery-saving mode, go to Settings > Battery on an iPhone, or Settings > Battery > Battery saver on an Android device.

In conclusion, these are some of the tips and tricks to improve the battery life of your mobile device. By adjusting settings, closing unused apps, and using battery-saving modes, you can ensure your device lasts longer and performs better throughout the day.

Thanks.
