As bloggers we are always on the go while attempting to maintain our online presence
and it goes without saying; bringing quality content to our readers.
To juggle everything without letting one lapse, there are some distinctive
blogger essentials that will aid you in taking something that may
have begun as a hobby – to a business.
While we all know content is king, beautiful photography will catch the eye of a
casual reader, while it is your content that will encourage them to return.
The pricey expenditure made towards a quality camera
can certainly be considered an investment.
The photos in my very first post on this blog were tiny, hardly possessing any
“wow” factor (except for my pup Sasha’s adorable mug, how cute is she!?)
I now use a wonderful SLR to capture the imagery relevant to my posts
and when using stock photos, select larger, color-filled shots.
In working on another project with Intel,
I am over at My Life Scoop sharing my 5 Tools For Blogging Success.
I hope you will pop by and check out my feature!
What would you consider your blogging essentials?

March 27, 2013i know that i need a good camera to take photos of my baked treats! right now i'm just using my iphone, but i usually bake a night so it's dark and my photos don't come out as great as i know they could. i should definitely consider investing in a good camera.

March 27, 2013Great article! I agree with all the points, so important.
My next step is to invest in a high quality camera, and to also create a proper editorial calendar that I follow right "to the tee." Also to take part in blog webinars and conferences after my Blog is one year old…then a transfer to wordpress at some point…we will see.
I agree that having a phone to keep you completely up to date throughout the day while you are on the go, to see and answer comments quickly and to use social media.
Love this post!
