How To Manage Your Blog Remotely

Have you just started a blog? If you are new to the world of blogging, know that it can be a wonderfully rewarding way to share your views with the rest of the world as well as develop skills in writing, editing, design, photography and many other fields.

In fact, having a blog can help you get a job in these fields because it can be a way to show off your abilities. There have also been some recent stories in the news about people who have been able to make a lot of money through blogging and even live off of their blogs.

However, making money from a blog can take a very long time. The aforementioned profitable blogs have taken years to build, with their writers diligently posting regularly without payment. If you wish to put together a blog, it will most likely take years before you see any profit. But if you’re just doing it for your own personal fulfillment, then power to you.

When starting a blog, it can help to put together a schedule of posts, much like an editorial calendar at a magazine. But it will take some organizing, planning and self-discipline to follow your schedule and provide regular updates.

For example, what if you’re traveling and can’t get to a computer? Or, what if you want to be more productive on your morning commute? Fortunately, there are many ways you can blog without sitting in front of a computer all day. Let’s take a closer look at the apps you can use to manage your blog.

WordPress

The mobile version of the blogging platform by the same name, WordPress allows you to upload new posts and other media, manage your comments and follow other blogs. While the user interface is more minimalist than the version for the computer, it allows you to do just about everything your blog needs.

Tumblr

This platform is kind of like a marriage between social media and blogging. You can follow other users and post content from your blog in order to promote your work. You can easily upload pictures, video, graphics and text. Posts tend to be somewhat short, so try posting on the first few lines of your blog post and invited followers to view the rest at your site.

ShoZu

This is a very helpful small app created to assist you in managing all of your pages at once. For example, if you have a blog, a Facebook page, a photostream, and a Twitter account, the app will synchronize everything and let you manage notifications from one place. That way, you won’t have to keep checking multiple websites and apps on your phone. It’s also a great choice if you manage your office’s Facebook page or Pinterest account.

Clowdy Photo Blogger

One popular blogging form is to post one photo of where you are at a certain moment, sort of like Instagram but more open-ended. With Clowdy, you can take a photo and upload it immediately, while the app provides your location. You can also see the photos taken near to your current location. For this reason, it can be a great way to learn more about photography and see things from a different angle.

With these and other apps, you can still have a life of mobility while maintaining your blog. As you start posting more and more, you will see how your following grows and your audience expands.Before long, you may be able to get advertisements listed on your site, or show off your work in a job interview.
