tanks for giving me the courage to start and know what to expect.I rily needed this

MissTechy:
Apologies for the epistle

how much do u earn from blogging ??

Misstechy, nice write-up.

However, I'll like to ask a question.

"Don't you think the acquisition of Misstechy by AMW would limit your long-term strategic influence over your startup?"

Well done. There is going to be social media boom in 2016 for Nigerian bloggers. And we need more bloggers , especially mommy bloggers who are still missing among the more than 67 million Nigerians on the internet.

PhoneGist:


Why

lol
If she is your girlfriend, you don't need to worry. Tell her to pm me or you can discourage her.
The earlier the better.

MissTechy, your post was informative . Nice one. Do you mind giving me tips on how to set up a blog? I know many people will be inclined to say Google is your friend, hell, you learnt a lot from Google yourself but I think you will have a better way to share your experiences. Thank you

I read every word and licked the plate. Your head dey there! May God bless your hustle even more.

Misstechy, all these guys are not asking you the right questions. Are you SINGLE? If yes, then your prayers have finally been answered on the verge of leaping into the new year because Lolaxavier is single too.

So which way now?

For the record, that's an awesome blog.

I am in charge of thinking of strategies for A brand and implementing those strategies. For example, the pepsi long throat campaign on social media and other online platform is done by a digital strategist

I survived, thanks to the fact that I was passionate, knew how to manage my time and made SMART goals.


Hehe, anyway, by SMART, I mean your goals must be:

Specific: What exactly do you want? The more specific you are, the more likely you are to achieve your goals.

Measurable: How will you track your progress?

Attainable: Ensure you are setting a goal that is attainable, an unattainable goal is wanting your blog to grow like Linda Ikeji’s in a month.

Realistic: How ready are you to take the necessary steps to achieve this goal?

Time-Bound: You should always ensure your goals are timely. I wanted to acquire Google Adsense in the first month and I did.

I am not sure how many of you know this, but when I started MissTechy earlier this year, I was working as a Digital Strategist at one of the top digital agencies in Nigeria. During this phase, It wasn’t easy, but with determination, passion, consistency, hard work and most importantly the God factor, I was able to survive.

HOW I STARTED MISSTECHY

I have always been a techy by default (Thank you Google), as a matter of fact, back in my university days, if there was something wrong with your laptop and you couldn’t fix it yourself, Tobi Ayeni might be your best bet. But it was until January 2015 that I decided to create MissTechy.

I started with the design (P.S MissTechy’s header was designed by me, I couldn’t afford a graphic designer), downloaded a free theme and even learnt a bit of coding (I love you Google) to fix some things I didn’t like.

During the period of designing & creating, my weekends were the best days because I could fully work on Misstechy without my job interfering. So I used it well and got my blog up on the 9th of February.

For those who don’t know, this is how my blog looked like when I first started.


MY BUSY SCHEDULE

Before I started, I kinda believed that It wouldn’t be soooo difficult, boy was I wrong! Due to the nature of my Job, I mostly had time for Misstechy in the wee hours of the morning, usually before 8 am. If you’ve been following MissTechy then, you will remember that during this period, I was only able to post 1-2 articles per day.



My schedule was simple, wake up really early, find an interesting post, go to work, come back in the evening usually by 7 -8 ish (sometimes 11 pm), look for something to post, then follow that cycle the next day.


ROAD BLOCK: SOMETHING’S GOTTA GIVE
However, despite my effort, I wasn’t getting great results. Also, due to an illness back then, I alienated myself from my friends who could have helped me with a RT or pushed my blog on social media. Finally, my divided attention was beginning to tell on my work performance.

So, I reduced the number of posts I did to 1, then relied on Facebook ads for the first month, but stopped after I realized that the people who came through Facebook ads hardly returned the next day. (I still needed to use my money to bring them back and I was in my Ojuelegba zone).

HOW I FOUND A BALANCE

The truth is, not everybody will have the type of job that requires you being online all the time, but I had and I used it to my advantage – for every time I was less busy in the office and during lunch breaks, I’d ensure I got more stories to post.

Another thing that helped me was my consistent article pattern, I found a pattern that was easy and short, with it, I could read a new story, understand it and try to make it interesting without breaking a sweat.

Also, God brought me readers like you who could make me smile with their comments, honestly, your comments made everything worthwhile.

Finally, the fact that I was super passionate about technology ensured I didn’t throw in the towel even when the going got tough. It wasn’t easy, but I was very passionate and I had a goal, I wanted to get MissTechy out there and I was willing to lose sleep and work extra hard to see that my goals were achieved.


DID I ACHIEVE MY GOALS?

My answer:



I haven’t achieved everything in my book, but I haven’t lost focus either.



LESSON LEARNT.

I survived, thanks to the fact that I was passionate, knew how to manage my time and made SMART goals.


Hehe, anyway, by SMART, I mean your goals must be:

Specific: What exactly do you want? The more specific you are, the more likely you are to achieve your goals.

Measurable: How will you track your progress?

Attainable: Ensure you are setting a goal that is attainable, an unattainable goal is wanting your blog to grow like Linda Ikeji’s in a month.

Realistic: How ready are you to take the necessary steps to achieve this goal?

Time-Bound: You should always ensure your goals are timely. I wanted to acquire Google Adsense in the first month and I did.

I am going to end with this: If someone says it’s going to be easy, BIG LIE!! It is going to be really hard, but if a smallie like me can survive this, You can!! You should also remember that you have the ability to get to where you want to, but it is up to you to get there. Finally, find a balance that suits you and ensure whatever you are doing is fun.

There you have it, really long, but I hope you can learn a thing or two from it.

Hi I read here that your blog was acquired in June by a former VP at Konga

http://techcabal.com/2015/08/03/anozim-acquires-nigerian-female-focused-tech-blog-misstechy/

Is this true?

Also, I can see that your Alexa rating is circa 110k globally and around 960 in Nigeria. This is impressive for a new blog. How do you promote your blog? Where do you get most traffic? Did you do an sponsored social media post?

Hehehe all hail the king of Hebron

Tobi Ayeni is a wonderful person. Her efforts and persistence inspire many including myself. I know I would have quit blogging months ago if I didn't come across Misstechy.

When I was on the verge of quitting, I found Misstechy. It was the best tech blog ever. Then I went further to Check it on Alexa and I was shocked at what I saw. She had only started this wonderful blog this year February.

Misstechy challenged me to pursue my passion and challenge my limits. I am proud to say that I am where I am today because of Tobi Ayeni.

Nerdslot.com remains indebted to you.

Excellent! As a lawyer, I think you were properly advised cos I have seen many startups falling into that acquisition trap.

Whatever you do, never release more than 51% of your shares. Thank me later.

MissTechy:


No it isnt, they didnt acquire misstechy.

So that news was false?

Id rather say it was misconstrued. I guess another party intentionally did that, but all that will be sorted shortly
