The Idealist
Focused on making their world a better place, the Idealists are constantly looking for the truth and its meaning. Driven by what they perceive as the greater good, they tend to have a strong value-system and find principles to be of great importance.
Idealists are free thinkers who enjoy chasing enriching, emotional experiences. They are passionate bloggers who find themselves comfortable within the realm of the abstract. They value life in general and also seek value in life. Their focus lies on their feelings and their perception of the Human Condition. Guided by their optimism and emotions, they often blog about recent events in the context of how to make the world a better place. They may wish to sponsor a particular cause, offer information about a cause and/or just talk about personal experiences and the way it has influenced them.
The relationship they share with their feelings and principles make them very curious and creative. They often shun concrete logic and prefer sharing imaginative ideas. They frequently act spontaneously in real life and a bit differently; consequently, the writing style and content might be perceived as unrealistic and impractical.
The Idealists’ blog layout has a personal touch and uses many colours and pictures. The blog usually feels a bit like that of an amateur and will rarely have a personal domain name. Idealists tend to be younger bloggers who prefer to use free, open source software solutions.
These bloggers enjoy feeling like being part of a larger community and will often join social networks and use micro-blogs (sites that make publishing and discovering of blogs and discussions within their networks easier). On the other hand, the content of the blog and writing style is very personal and Idealists rarely use their blog to interact with followers. They prefer interaction on other channels and use their blog to share their view. Though Idealists look for the positive in life, some may have a more mature approach to their writing, sometimes sounding cynical.
Idealists enjoy sharing and will have various links in their posts and all around their blog. They are laid-back and typically modest enough to focus on more than simply their own knowledge. Because of this, references to specialists and other bloggers are often found within their posts. Idealists often write about facts and recent events, though they see life experiences through their senses and can be subjective. They will express their satisfaction or dissatisfaction with great passion. They also provide a comprehensive list of their favourite bloggers (aka blogroll) and places to visit.
Their goal is sharing their perception and how they feel improvement may be accomplished, improve things and prefer offering ideas and brainstorming rather than trying to in influence their readers to think exactly like them.
Idealists love to discover and discuss products and services which connect with their unique set of values. They are usually not attracted by stylish items but love art, books and bio-friendly or green products and do not hesitate to write about them and link to them; hence their use of affiliation networks. On the other hand, most idealists do not try to profit from their blogs and tend to decide against advertising.
