The Rant: 2 Types of Pinoy Bloggers

in #thoughts6 years ago

Throughout my whole term as a blogger, it is only when I ventured to Steemit that I have fully seen the Pinoy blogosphere as a whole. Outside Steemit, my blog primarily focuses on blogging and the Pinoy blogging community it was only logical for me conduct a mini research of what I will be dealing with.

There are a lot of things that I have learned while conducting my quick research. Aside from learning that blogging is still not recognized by most Filipinos that are still living offline, I have also learned that Steemit is too diverse that it can be further classified into different subgroups.

These subgroups differ depending on the types of bloggers that fall under it.

In a desperate attempt to fully establish a boundary between these subgroups, I classified them into two simple groups which I have listed below. Keep in mind that these classifications are based on my own personal judgement and analysis. I just had a yoga session this afternoon, so I am more calm and reasonable as of this writing.

This classification is intended to give you a glimpse of the two major types of bloggers that make up the Filipino blogging community in Steemit.

The so-called "Bloggers"

This particular group of bloggers takes up most of the blogging population today. I estimate that it could be around a 70% of the overall size of the Philippine blogosphere.

Filipinos love to talk about themselves and their personal lives. Anything they think that would sell. It is because of this reason that Filipinos end up creating personal blogs.

These blogs cover topics that are of interest to the author and they add their own opinions and views regarding that particular topic.

This type of blog makes use of either humor or intellect to attract readers or leeching on to someone. Too early to drop names but if you're honest and brave enough, you can comment freely below.

Bloggers behind these blogs are mostly part-time or hobby bloggers or roughly the lazy ones who don't find time to go the extra mile.

The Legit Ones

Instead of talking about personal lives, this bloggers saw the potential in making more money on their blogs by focusing on topics that has a high demand of readership. This type of blogging is dubbed as Niche Blogging.

Unlike Personal blogs, niche blogs are more tightly focused because it covers only one particular topic. Niche blogs concentrate more on providing valuable information about a particular topic while giving some personal insight on it.

Pro-bloggers can be classified under this category. These are full-time bloggers who are geared to maximize the money making capabilities of a blog through different means.

I don't need to elaborate these bloggers further because I can't find more words to describe how great and awesome they are.

So there you have it people, something that everyone can ponder on. The biggest question now is, which type of blogger are you?

Sort:  

And you are sure there are only two categories?

sir, It is only his opinion,
making 2 categories only that steemit have,

There will always a reason why other people hide their Identity and show how proud they are and how reckless towards others.

But we always have a choice, to answer a negative with negative or response with positive in life! We can never please everyone!

Ahhh #3? Ulog? Seriously?

i see your willingness to help the Filipinos but not this way.

plain and simple!
Pro and Non Pro bloggers

I am on both, but mostly go in my own! It easy to tell what I have that to talk things what they like! but I don't like talking what I have done now or my personal situation, and drama and take sympathy,

Non pro bloggers considered learners and continue learning!

Lots of Filipino who come in in steemit are just new to Blogging and don't know what should be done

I can consider this as plain blogging also, falling to the category of,

These blogs cover topics that are of interest to the author and they add their own opinions and views regarding that particular topic.

Yes Sir I understand.Thank you for your explaination.Your words deserve to be respected.

Anong category kaba talaga @albertvhons? Tingin ko sa feeling blogger ka lang eh. May 2017 kaba dito sa Steemit pero yung SP d pa nakalampas ng 1K. Sa tingin mo kaya tama yan? Ibig sabihin nyan, wala kang growth dito sa Steemit.

well, feeling or not, I said what I said,
category is not that important at all,
labeling what you are doesn't matter,

there nothing wrong when I feel like I am a blogger,

And you may right na wala akong growth sa steemit!
So, may problema ba doon?

Ako hindi rin blogger pero gumawa ng mga post tungkol sa buhay ko,kung may mali doon aynyon ang hindi ko alam at kung saan ako na belong jan.Ang rason ko bakit?dito sa steemit dito ko nakita ang may nakikialam para matoto ako,i correct ang mali at natoto ako unti unti.at saka kumikita rinako at higit sa lahat nakatatak at nasa tag ko untalented.Buong buo tinatanggap ni Sir @surpassinggoogle ang flaws namin na mga untalented at naka upvote din naman ang mga ibang witness o whale sa mga bolinao ug utok (utak dilis).Our mentor accepted our flaws even most of us are untalented.We are on the stage of learning here in steemit.Thank you po ng marami.
