My posts in A to Z challenge this April will be on questions!

What are the different TYPES of bloggers?

I’ve been blogging for more than four years now. I’ve come across many different types of people in my journey.
The shy ones, hesitant to comment or interact
The bold ones, stating their opinions strongly
The supportive ones, alway ready with a word of encouragement
Friendly ones who would always read and comment on the posts
Those who only follow for a quid pro quo, requesting us to follow
The rude ones who face instant blocking and unfollowing
Then there are those who are like ghosts, invisible and a bit scary
The vast majority of those who follow are invisible people
They neither have a blog, nor do they write or read
Who are these people? We all would like to know!

It is possible the invisible ones read, at least occasionally… I have a few friends and family members that follow me even though they don’t have blogs. I usually forget about it until someone says, “You wrote something on your blog the other day…” But, yeah, I think the majority of people who follow me never had any intention of reading a word I wrote. It takes all type 😉

Yes, family and friends are exempted from this list. But the rest- they’re like ghosts

It does–I am grateful for those who take the time to read and/or comment and interact. I have a passion for writing, and the community of people on WordPress inspires me and helps me hone my writing skills every day.

Same here Melissa. This community is amazing. At least the visible ones! They are supportive, encouraging and friendly people.

Then there are bloggers who never let family, friend or foe know about their blog. A well guarded secret. 😉

Haha! My case is exactly opposite. I told everyone but no one has time to visit my blog. In a way that’s a good thing because I can write anything here without fear of offending anyone. 😂

Blogging is my personal space.

If it is about them, I run it by them first, but I think they’re just glad I found a space to call my own.
Lol, I’ve lived an open book life all my life 😁

Thank you, Sadje G🙏

Great question Sadje. You’re so right about the invisible ones and there will be many reasons why they remain in the shadows

Yes there may be many reasons but perhaps they aren’t real people, just bots?

I have no idea what kind of blogger I am. I blog because it gives me pleasure, an outlet for different types of creativity. I’m not really into counting my likes and followers and I never check the stats.
Most of my readers are people I follow. I try to read all their posts, but I find it impossible to read every post of those who publish several times a day, if I did that I’d be glued to the screen all the time.
Weekly Prompts is different, I don’t treat it as a personal blog, I set it up as impersonal site where challenges are set and support pages are offered, therefore I don’t follow all the ones who take part, though I do comment on every response.
The other day I read the blog of someone I follow, she doesn’t blog often and doesn’t have many followers. She wrote that her husband had just died. I noticed that two bloggers had clicked Like without leaving a comment. This tells me they hadn’t even bothered to read this poor lady’s post. I think a number of bloggers do that.

Very true Sue. Many people just like the post and move on. I also try to read the posts in my reader but sometimes it gets a bit overwhelming. Thanks for sharing your thoughts

I know. Those i9nvisible followers. I think its the CIA and every other country’s similar branch looking for untowards to try to prevent stuff from happening and yet they can’t even tell us who killed Kennedy. I used to blog on another platform and I got a follower who turned out to be the branch of the CIA that follows all metaphors. And I used a lot of metaphors. Who knew. Now I don’t bother. I just say what I mean. It’s less sinister and secretive.

That would be very interesting. I used to boost against Trump but now I don’t write anything political.

Our privacy is a figment of our imagination now. I still write about them but not about their policies. I comment on body language, hair and teeth and funny things they say. I’m so over it. I’m too old to care, but I advocate caution for everyone else.

You’ve definitely identified many types. I like the ones who don’t have a blog because they wouldn’t follow unless they were really interested.
