Where Do You Belong?

Blogging has become a trend nowadays in the world of the Internet. Both young ones and adults blog depending on ther inclination. People blog for various reasons. But whether you blog just to past up time or to make money, there is a classification as to how or why you blog. Bloggers are classified into different types, dependng on the bloggers motives or methods use. People who blog for money are the ones who would usually consider first which type of blogger they should be; others are just unconsciously doing their stuff.

It is important for a so-called blooger to firstly determine what niche he or she should focus on. After that, the blogger can now identfy how he or she should blog. And that's where you can define what type of blogger you are. If you dont specify which category should you take part in, it is likely for you to run out of ideas. So while you dont have any products or service to promote and you simply blog to share information, you still need to set some parameters.

So where do you really belong as a blogger? Do you know the different types of bloggers existing in the blogosphere? Well, let me share to you what I was able to dig:

 1. Personal Bloggers

These people are blogging merely for the love it. They dont care about money-making widgets and other stuff which can greatly promote their blogs. They make posts out of their creative writing skills and various sources of inspiration. They write just about anything under the sun and other things that help them freely express their thoughts and emotion. Mainly, personal bloggers are like storytellers. They also tend to share stuff they got from other sources which have captured their interests. A negative side of blogging personally is that you may tend to rant about unnecessary or offensive issues. You can always express whatever you want to, just in moderation.

2. Bloggers who Discover and Share

Bloggers of this type are the so-called diggers. They can find interesting and even informative stuff which you cant usually find just by stumbling unto something. They are very hard working when it comes to researching bizarre, cool or new things secretly circling around the net. Such discoverers post every contents they can find either with detailed or limited information. They roam around to dig deeper, collect, post or share for everyone to discover. Discovery bloggers love to share fresh ideas on every aspects.

3.  The Educators

These folks put together a lot of informative stuff for anyone on the net to learn from. The materials they gather and post are actually educating and helpful in so many ways. They would even offer downloadable pieces of information as well as free softwares. So if you're looking for how-tos and other stuff which can lend you a hand in enhancing your knowledge and skills, look for this type of bloggers. You can certainly find vast collections of indispensable tools and information.

4. Bloggers who Report or Review

Since most of those who blog to review or report about a particular stuff or products and services are getting paid to do so, they are inclined to step on to other people's business. There are even those who would try to bad-mouth their competitors. But reviewers who provide quality and unbiased information are proven useful, especially for those who seek to purchase something. Blogger reporters submit report regarding certain issues or depending on th niche/category that they're reporting to. It needs real effort and skills to come up with fresh and eye-catching news; thus, being good in this field would somehow promise quality traffic and good reputation.

5. The Money-makers or the Promoters

When you visit the blogs of these people, all you can see are different forms of ads, particularly those intended to generate money from naive surfers. While some money-makes provide good content, most of them would just give you trash after decieving you that they have what you really want. There is always a good chance of you clicking one of their money-generating ads or even links which you think could lead you to something useful but instead, just pure nothing yet money for them. This trick is what annoys many "innocent" surfers. But as for those who know how to pinpoint an ad from the real deal, then it's nothing really to be worried about. As you can see, when it comes to making money online, loads of strategies are out there waiting to be utilized; and it only depends upon your conscience whether you're going for the good ones or not.
