Laptop or Netbook.
Professional bloggers need to stay online 24/7 which means they need some thing portable so that they carry it along with them. Laptops or Netbooks are the solution to this problem.You don’t need to buy an expensive laptop in order to start your blogging journey infect laptop with basic specifications is more than enough for you (unless your work need some heavy work like graphics, video processing etc). Depending upon your work, you can either opt for a 15″ or 17″ laptop ora small 10″ Netbook. If you are an Apple fan boy, Macbook pro 13″ is alwaysmy ideal choice. Though, depending upon your budget you can grab one which fits your need. Though, if you are a power blogger, my recommendation would be always opt for a laptop with latest processor and RAM should be at least 2GB.
*. My preferred laptop/netbook companies: Apple , Dell , Asus
External Hard-Drive.
I think that External hard-disk is the most important device after laptop which every professional blogger shouldhave. You might be thinkingthat there are lots of cloud services available on internet which offer free storage space but remember your precious data is only one password away which means any hackers can easily hack your data or delete it. Also its better to have more than one backup so one should go for both options to keep your data safe. Also, as a safety measure, I would suggest always keepportable apps like Ultrasurf , Portable Anti-virus, Keepassand other essential software’s on your hard disk.
*. My fav. External hard drive brands : Seagate , WD, Transcend
Wireless Router or Data card
Well, how can we think of blogging without Internet. If you have been blogging for a while, you must have encountered a bad internet day. Having a good internetrouter like Belkin or any other is a must. Along with it, a back-up internet service in terms of data card is also important. If you are using iPhone or iPad, you can always use internet tethering services to share your internet connection. It’s better to goWire-less for everything, instead of setting up an office with wire all around.
SmartPhone.
Although professional bloggers spend most of the time in the house or in their office but still you need a communication device in order to communicate with your clients and some time with your readers on the go. It’s good to have your mobile number on your blog as it will leave a positive impression in the mind of your blog reader. You can also go for smart-phone if it fits your budget.
For professional blogger, having a Smart-phone with 3G connection will create a big difference. For brandingand socializing you can install smart phone apps likeTwitter, Facebook, Google+, Foursquare, Pinterest and many more. More over, you can use smart-phones like iPhone, Samsung note for great productivity. None the less, Siri on iPhone4S is something my target for now, as what could be better than having a personal free virtual assistant on your phone. For freelancer’s, it’s always a good idea to have IM clients like Skype, Fring on your phone for quick conversation with your client while on move.
