The Adventures of Ate Chechebells: blogging 101

Showing posts with label blogging 101. Show all posts

If you are a blogger, influencer or even just a normal joe/jane you know the importance of Social Media, I only know a handful of people who are not on any social media and one of them is my brother hahaha hahaha.

I won't be writing about why is it important but our dilemma of being restricted in only being able to put one link on our bio. Most of us have multiple social media accounts...how could we choose which one we would like to highlight on our Bio haiz!!! as a blogger I want to promote my other social media not only my blog.

On my twitter account, I was only able to put my Blog link.

On YouTube, I could add all my social media links in the description box but it does take up space and makes it longer.

Ok ok I am not going the rant haha haha I found this awesome app that could put all your social media link on ONE link that you could use in all your social media bio.

Hold on!! before I tell you where and how...

Remember on one of my post I did mention that one way that you could grow your blog is by joining a bloggers group. You are not supposed to just leave your blog links on the daily thread, read some of the posts. answer some questions that other bloggers need help on, interact and not only will you learn something, you might find something awesome. Well, this will prove my point. I found this post through one of this bloggers group Boost your Blog.

Being a nosy person I did give it a try and it's amazingly simple and FREE!!!

Registering is easy, you could do it by either using your Instagram or Twitter account.

Then you will be able to go to your linkify.bio page, just fill in the details with the links that you want to add. oh-oh a word of caution, not a biggie but just need to let you know, you won't be able to move around the links if you are fussy on how you want your links to appear just bear that in mind.

Copy your URL which is at the top left corner and paste it to your social media bio.

And you're done all your social media links will be on your bio and your bio on your social media will be like this.

When visitors click on to your linkify.bio tadah..all your social media link will be shown.

See how easy and awesome it was now we could put all our social media links in one place where it will be accessible to our visitors. And if you want to add more links just go back to your linkify.bio page and add the links, you don't need to re-copy and paste your URL it will automatically update your profile :-)

Of course, I won't be ending this blog post without thanking Mr. Kelvin Graddic who created the https://www.linkify.bio/ app and shared in the Boost your Blog group, sharing is really caring.

Please give it a try and give your feedbacks to him.

How about you Belles, any blogging group that you are in that you love and that helped you a lot? Which gives me an idea for a blog post. Share it in the comment section below.

Till my next adventure! Remember to be courageous, kind and a blessing to everyone you meet!

The peeps from That Mobile Shop has sent yours truly a Ready Zoom Telescopic Zoom Lens to try.

On their website, it's described as a 12X Optical Zoom clip on telescope zoom lens for a smartphone.

This got me excited this will be a perfect accessory for those people who like to take photos ahem ahem like me.

I was not home when it got delivered, I had to pick it up from the post office so the box was kinda crumpled.

I've done an unboxing video and a mini how to use it with pictures which you could watch at YouTube.

But if you don't want to watch it is fine hahahahhaha.

So what came in the box?

So how to get started? Let me show you...oh if you had watched the YouTube video you could skip this part.

Remove the cover from the narrow end of the telescope.

Attach the clip by screwing it in.

Clip the telescope onto your phone.

and ta-dah!!! you could start using it.

I have an event that I needed to go to over the weekend will see how it performs outside but for the meantime let us try it at home.

Starting off with a photo of how far the original picture looks like. I am using an Oppo F1 phone.

Decided to take a photo of my brothers toy figures using the zoom of my phone.

Then this is the picture taken using the 12X Zoom Lens.

I realized that you need to clip it properly onto your phone if not your photos will have this black frame, not sure what is the technical term hahahahaha.

You could adjust the focus by turning the lens left or right until you're satisfied.

And if you have shaky hands like me, it could be difficult for you to get the picture into focus.

But with patience and practice, you will be able to take a decent picture.

So now let us try it using other phones, I did have an event over the weekend which was a good opportunity to try it,

My brother tried using it with his Sony Xperia Z5

Tried it using Hubbyness iPhone 6

and lastly my Oppo F1

I also took a video using the Ready Zoom Telescopic Zoom Lens

And you could use the Zoom Lens as a Monocular just replace the clip attachment with the Monocular rubber eye cup.

So what are my thoughts about the Ready Zoom Lens from That Mobile shop?

I like the idea that I could take decent zoomed in photos although using it needs a bit of practice and getting used to, once you get it..you just need to point and shoot.

It is suitable for both Android and IOS phones, I was able to use it with my brothers Sony Experia and Hubbyness iPhone 6 and with its portable size, it could fit nicely in my bag.

And for my dear Belles!! That Mobile Shop is giving you 30% off with free shipping that will come to only USD 16.98.
