The Personalities Of Blogging
Some bloggers can be a funny breed of people. On my travels across
cyberspace I have seen a lot of different personalities. These
personalities can often fit into one of the following descriptions
below.
The leading blogger is what many of you refer to as the guru. He is
commonly seen as the man/woman with the money and control over his/her
domain.
As it happens, leading bloggers rule the roost. If they say jump,
people jump. If a leading blogger states that “vanilla ice” is the
coolest thing since sliced bread – guess what – it will be for most of
his avid fans and followers.
The common blogger is the person who takes everything the leading
blogger says at face value, without questions. This type of blogger
usually just goes about his/her ways without putting too much thought
into things. He or she is happy to be part of the scene.
This is the blogger who usually engages into online slandery, be it
out of jeliousy, anger, frustration, or simply because he or she is a
bully at heart.
Some people seem to think that the Internet can be used as a
playground to do their dirty mud fights. Naturally it only needs a tiny
spark of aggravation and the fight takes centre stage.
Opposed to just bullying others’ for the sake of bullying this type
of blogger loves to stick his teeth into the leading blogger because he
hates his guts. Besides being a stickler for putting the leading blogger
into an embarrasing situation he also likes the idea of ruling the
roost himself, but hasn’t quite won the heart’s or trust of the common
blogger yet.
The assassin operates under the cover of darkness. He travels the
Interwebs cloaked with a black hat and he doesn’t give a damn if he
leaves a trail of victims along the way. He is seldom caught, nor
spotted in full light which makes it very hard to pinpoint by most
people.
These are the cool people of the Internet. Bloggers who set new
trends, either via an accidental discovery, a new product/service
launch, or because of their bubbling and happy personality. The
trendsetting blogger usually has a large group of followers clustered
around him and loves to interact with his fans.
True to his name, the lazy blogger is just that, too lazy to bother with updating his blog frequently.
Entrepreneur bloggers have found a way to monetize their blog to help
them earn money online. They often outsource their content needs to
service providers to help them spend more quality time with their loved
ones. Entrepreneur bloggers are some of the smarter bloggers around,
because they know it takes money to make money.
This type of blogger sets up a large number of niche blogs, then
drives traffic to his sites (or not!), and sits back to cash in on the
profits once visitors to the site click on his ads.
The oblivious bogger doesn’t give a damn about the blogosphere. He just blogs. He doesn’t care about politics, money, readers, traffic, etc.
