5 Types Of Bloggers
Whoops it's been a while!
Today's entry was inspired by some of my blogger friends. I must admit I don't have a lot of such friends simply because I am type 5, but judging by some of their tweets, I can sort of see that there are really all sorts of people who blog.
Some people blog for fame, some for the moolah and some... ok let's go to the 5 TYPES shall we?
By the way, this is Singapore-specific because there are so many blogs worldwide, I don't read all of them.
Intentionally or not, these bloggers start controversies. A key advantage to these controversy starters is that they get instant fame or notoriety. Whether they like it or not. If you want to be remembered even for like 5 seconds in your blogging 'career' here are some of the topics you can talk about:
One of the perks of being a superblogger (you know, like superstar), is that you get sponsored by companies who want you to advertise for them. So it ranges from your hair, nails, makeup, skincare, food, clothes and even medicines, supplements, sanitary pads, cameras, holidays etc. Indeed. It's wonderful to be a blogger.
Unfortunately there are far too many blogs in the cyberspace, getting sponsors to notice you is challenging. So what some people do (as per what i infer from friends' tweets) is to email companies to sponsor them. Some even went further, trying to steal sponsors from other bloggers.
I am not very sure why would anyone with pride do such a thing, I mean one can argue that it is like sending our resumes seeking for jobs. But no one in their sane mind will put down other candidates who are seeking the same job as you.
Also no one in their right mind will threaten a shop's reputation if a sponsorship is denied. CLICK HERE. The person in question has clarified that her accounts were being hacked oookkkaaayyy?
You must really have someone who really wants to bring you down so much ya? Don't that kind of show your personality as well?
Dear diary, something good happened today. He finally called me by my name~~~ *hums M2M song*
Reading dear diary blogs are possibly the worst sort of blogs. I suggest owners of such blogs to privatise them immediately.They usually go like this:
Hello! Today I went to work late, because it was raining and I really felt like sleeping. Work was ok, I had salad for lunch and Janice told a joke and we all laughed. Then I had dinner at Wild Honey. I went home after that, showered and now I am off to bed!
o.0
Tell me your IQ didn't drop by 5 points after reading that and many other similar/related entries.
These bloggers in my humble opinion are really super. I have absolutely no idea how do they come up with the energy to do so many things. I usually don't have more than 5 tasks on my to-do list at work. It's easy to identify these bloggers. These are accounts they possess:
Finally, this is me.
I blog quietly. I said quietly not noiselessly lol.
I blog what I like and it doesn't really matter if others can make any sense out of it or not.
If you are looking to get famous quickly, this is not the route you should take. I think it will take years before people actually bother to look at you, or worse not at all. So don't be like me, unless you actually enjoy what you are doing now. Like me.
Which type are you?
P/S If you get offended by reading the above entry, remember to read the 'Rule of Thumb' section at the bottom of the blog's front page.

1. The Controversy Starter

- Boyfriend/husband cheating on you. If the third party is another blogger, that's a bonus. Like JACKPOT! Here's one if you are interested. CLICK HERE
- Politics. Because that's the surest way to gain (and lose) supporters quickly. Websites like TheOnlineCitizen, TREmeritus and TheRealSingapore are not classified as news by the Singapore Media Development Authority, I will infer that these are considered blogs lol.
- Discrimination. Of any kind. But er, maybe tone down on the race because you may actually get jailed under the Sedition Act. CLICK HERE
Ok that should be enough to get you started.
2. I WANT FREE THINGS

4. Everything Also Do

These bloggers in my humble opinion are really super. I have absolutely no idea how do they come up with the energy to do so many things. I usually don't have more than 5 tasks on my to-do list at work. It's easy to identify these bloggers. These are accounts they possess:
- Facebook profile
- Facebook 'LIKE' page
- Blog (obviously!)
- Tumblr
- Ask.fm
- Flickr
- Google+
- Youtube
- StumbleUpon
You got to salute their efforts in trying to connect with their readers who for some reasons refused to congregate at a single social media network. Well done bloggers! Keep up with the energy!
5. Quietly Blogging

I blog what I like and it doesn't really matter if others can make any sense out of it or not.
