Jarus:
Thanks. How about answer to this:

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?

For the first month, i relied on ads, but like i said in my post, facebook ads wasnt giving me the result i needed so i tried using Wom (world of mouth) and i guess my content strategy worked well for me

Jarus:
So that news was false?

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?

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

MrMcJay:
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.

Thank you so much for this free advice.

KingEbukaNaija:
Choi ! TMC 411 . Proud to know an Eagle owns Miss Techy

Hehehe all hail the king of Hebron

Jarus:
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?

No it isnt, they didnt acquire misstechy.

dumo1:
Miss Techy please what does your job basically entail as a digital strategist?

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

Aldavin80:
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 could tutor u a bit. You can send me an email where i could detail everything,

MrMcJay:
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?"

There was an errorr in that article, i am in the process of sending them a press release to dat effect, amw did not acquire misstechy, amw only bought a small stake in misstechy, and i also have the right to take back my stake if the deals re not met

parrotibaba:
Yeah anyways it's not really pes 16, it's first touch soccer 2015 but I'm downloading all the same.


I just want to say that I admire your handiwork, it's not easy especially if you are a female whereby people will choose to focus on your outlook instead of the main thing on the table. For the fact that you combine work with this is spectacular, I have seen folks give up on this after a while but you are still doing it. Don't mind all these guys that choose to complain about your hair today and your nails tomorrow, just keep doing your thing and we, the association of silent readers will continue to follow your work.

Also know that this review of a thing is divided, some folks like video reviews, some prefer the written one, while some do both so you have to find the best way to cater for all. And know this, you can't satisfy all, people are always going to b'tch about something so just try to get the majority.

Merry Christmas.

I thought you knew it was FTS. But thank you so much for these words, really appreciate it. Your words only make me want to do better and get myself out of my comfort zone. hehehe @ association of silent readers.
Merry Christmas, see you in 2016

parrotibaba:
Thanks both of ya

uw, many thanks to augster tho

parrotibaba:
so what you are saying is that this is specifically made for mobile phones and I don't need the ppsspp app to run the game?

Yes, though the link I downloaded mine from is different from his, but I am guessing they are the same thing. you just extract and install.

parrotibaba:
Where did you get the pes 16?

Sorry for the late reply, but in order not to reply everyone that requested individually, I made a post on misstechy containing the link I downloaded it from.

nmreports:
Nice one Techy gurl.

Thank you

Victosin09:
Bravo misstechy! I just went through your blog now. You just spurred my long desire in creating a blog on a subject I'm passionate about...I'll print a copy of thi and strategize on my plans. Hope to share success story soon.

OMG thank you, I can't wait to see yours, please do let me know when the blog is up.

Merry Christmas Nairalanders, For those who have been waiting, wait no more. The Infinix Note 2 review is finally here. Before I proceed, I will like to point out that I used the 1GB variant for this review. So I did a Live video camera test both indoor and outdoor, I also did a multitasking/battery test. Finally there is a fast charge test to see how capable the charging is. All in all, there are moments where the Note 2 didn't meet my expectation. Do check out the video below:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y47FCwrG7Ec

However due to the lengthiness of the written review, I can't post it here. do bear with me.

As always, your opinions will be appreciated.

Viktor1983:
Merry Christmas to all of you wonderful people...

Apologies for the epistle

As seen on MissTechy

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.
https://i63.tinypic.com/2sb0rvc.jpg

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.

https://i63.tinypic.com/2uotcuo.jpg

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.
https://i63.tinypic.com/mj5ver.jpg

DID I ACHIEVE MY GOALS?

My answer:

https://i67.tinypic.com/2zzjj1g.jpg

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.
https://i63.tinypic.com/ygmfc.jpg

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.

Gosj01:
Your reviews are mostly (if am not mistaken ) on innjoo phones...wondering if you're one of their Advert consultant

Oh okay, but i have reviwed devices like the phantom 5 hot 2 among others

Gosj01:
For me, I will go with ur writing reviews although the video isn't bad. btw whatz with you and innjoo?

dont get.

sakalisis:
What is the name of the camera, model and the price u use in shooting the video

so sorry just seeing this mention. It is a Nikon.. D7100,

fammo:
Nice Review, might not have gotten through the third line had it been a written review, cos I didn't see myself getting an android fone apart from Samsung, buh thanks to ur smile I waited till d end and I'm better informed bout d Injoo 2. So if doing both the written and d video review won't be too much for you, I think you should do both.
This review however as in other reviews does not talk much bout the durability of the fone as well as its longevity. Experience has tot me that low cost fones wiv high performance don't usually last long. Don't know if that's a misconception on my part
And lastly good work! Keep it up!
Cc: Misstechy

Aww thank you. I will try and see if there is a way to do a review on the durability. really appreciate your observations.

openmine:
nice video...lovely smile
keep it up misstechy
u r doing sum tin worthwhile...!

Thank you

guardian09:
@Misstechy Well done as someone rightly said you keep at both methods of review cause there are some of us that do best with reading and others with visuals.

Also while the camera quality is great (one used in shooting the video),the audio level dropped off when you were comparing the phone with another try to maintain your volume level while recording. if you cant, it can be corrected during editing regardless of whichever volume level was used in making the recording(s). Cheers and well done.

Thank you so much for this free suggestions. Thanks a lot!

braintext:
[size=18pt] Naija guys will give you all sort of lies as an excuse for not watching the video ... But the truth is that they don't have mb for YouTube

Btw... Checkout my channel www.youtube.com/briantext ... I've subbed to yours [/size]

done, thank you so much

An0nimus:
Video quality is ok. Sound could do with a little adjustment. There should be one or two free softwares for audio enhancement/processing. Great effort nonetheless.

iLike.

Thank you so much, will adjust that in my next review

JideTheBlogger:
Nice one MissTechy but you can break your reviews into videos of small sizes imo...

Hope you get my point sha

Yeah i do, my previous review videos are that way, hence the reason I changed it to see if this will be better.

feran15:
can't view the video because of data restraints.. i prefer written

I will still do a written review, all I want to know is if this video style is better than the old ones.
