1. Laptop or netbook

While you may have a desktop computer at home, a laptop or netbook is also essential, especially if you travel a lot. As a blogger, you need to be able to create posts, edit them and add images and updates to your site wherever you are, and a laptop or netbook is perfect for doing this.

While netbooks tend to be cheaper and easier to transport than laptops, the quality is rarely as high. Plus, the screen size on a netbook is much smaller than on a laptop. However, if you can only afford a netbook, it isn’t the end of the world, both styles of computer are ideal for bloggers.

2. Smartphone

Over the past few years, developments in technology have meant that smartphones are basically mini computers. Anything you can do on a computer, including creating blog content and editing it, you can also do on a smartphone.

Sim free phones are fantastic blogging tools that can be used for all manner of things. From sharing content on social media to taking photographs and editing blog posts, smartphones are impressive blogging tools. Plus, with so many fabulous blogging apps to choose from, there is very little you can’t use your smartphone for.

However, it is important to note that while a smartphone is great for tweaking posts and using social media, the screen isn’t large enough for writing new posts. So, as well as a smartphone a laptop is also necessary.

3. Digital camera

To become a successful blogger, being able to take high-quality pictures is essential. That is why having a good-quality digital camera is an absolute must.

While you may be wondering why you can’t just use your smartphone to take photographs for your blog. It is important to realise that there is a major difference in smartphone and camera picture quality. And, that for a professional blog, professional standard pictures are a fundamental requirement.
