PCs, laptops, and tablet computers like iPads, are most commonly used gadgets for online businesses, such as freelance writing and eBay. But did you know that you can use your Blackberry to do freelance writing online?

If you're a writer who is freelancing, it may be easier to produce work from your Blackberry than to use an overpriced laptop that burns your lap and sucks your savings.

The reasons for using the Blackberry Smartphone to do freelance writing online are clear: the Blackberry Internet Service (BIS) subscription is undeniably cheap, your e-mails are easily within your reach, and most importantly, you have DocumentToGo – a mini Microsoft Office – in the palm of your hand.

Understanding how to operate your phone is important before you take your first steps in using it to do business. Firstly, it's highly advisable to free up at least 30-50% of your phone memory to avoid any unexpected freezing. Otherwise, the sluggish nature of your Operating System (OS) and the slow browsing will cost you a deadline – the last thing you need for a start up.

The following tips will help guide you through:

Subscribe to BIS
Your Blackberry phone is of no use if you're not subscribed to the Blackberry Internet Service (BIS). This is a data plan that you can register from your provider for a fee, depending on your location.

BIS charges differ, of course, from country to country. But overall, the rate is relatively lower compared with the amount of money we would otherwise be spending on broadband, dial-ups and Wi-Fi internet services.

In some countries where broadband internet is scarce and costly, a writer's best option is to use a mobile device. Using your Blackberry to do all your writing assignments has never been easier.

Use a different browser for faster, easy research
Don't use the in-built browser on your Blackberry because it's slow; especially when the website you're loading comprises large images and graphics. Using a slow browser might ruin any chance you have of meeting your deadlines.  Instead, try using a one that's safe and fast like Opera mini browser.

You can get Opera by going to the "Blackberry App World" on your home screen and by typing "Opera mini" on the space provided. When conducting your research, you'll be astonished to see how fast the browser will carry your searches and rank them up swiftly on the Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs).

And if you're going for a recess, you can bookmark more than10 web pages in that tiny, but powerful browser to save your work successfully.

Turn off your network connection
Many people believe it's not possible to do business with Blackberry, simply because the phone is a host of distractions: the BBM PING; the e-mail alert; the incoming calls; and the seduction of social media amongst others.

Well, that's absolutely true. It's a well-known fact that writing and distractions don't go together. So, how can you, as a freelance writer, scale this out? Here's how:

Shut down all your network connections before you start writing. Blackberry has a useful "Manage Connections" option, where you can turn off all your network connections to keep all interruptions at bay.

The good news about this feature is that your web pages are visible. You can put your phone on "silent mode" while searching, and then switch off all your network connections afterwards. Just switch them back again whenever you need to refer to the Internet again.

Write and edit with DocumentToGo
With DocumentToGo, you can write, re-write and edit with your Blackberry on the go. Blackberry has made this amazing app available on almost all its models. DocumentToGo is a pre-installed "native" Microsoft that gives a Blackberry user the luxury to have Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF at hand.  

Now more than ever, you can write your ideas as they bounce into your head instantaneously with DocumentToGo. Try brainstorming in an open space like at the park or at an internet café.

This gives you the freedom to think as the world goes by while you relax and free up your creative juices. Or head to somewhere far from public distraction where you can unlock the terrible nausea of writer's block.

Whether you're a newbie, or a professional freelance writer, Blackberry Smartphone, together with its useful applications, gives you all what you need to write well and to submit content online.

Well writing business can be done from anywhere, all you need to be is expert in your area.

You can always use a phone, a tablet and so on to do your business, but I think there is nothing better than a notebook with a big physical keyboard and which is better - to have a big second display. So you'll do your best with any writing.
