1. The Listener An active social media user who prefers to fly under the radar. They might enjoy your posts, but that doesn't mean they will actually click Like, so the rest of Facebook knows. Comments are few and far between while posting to their own wall is more or less a foreign and misunderstood concept. 2. The Activist A compassionate heart and desire for change gives this type of social media user a knack for promotion. They realize the power of social media and strive to have their voice heard to make a difference. 3. The Spammer This is the type of person that tells themselves their cheesy posts count as “quality content” and that sending weekly promotional messages directly to your inbox is cool since you are Facebook friends. 4. The Passionista A wonderful breed of user that genuinely enhances the social media world. Bonded by passion, this type of people on social media focus their time on exploring and sharing their passion with others online. 5. The Social Butterfly This breed of social media user never seems to stop showing you how small the world is by getting tagged in pictures with what appears to be every person you've ever met. If you want to know how popular they are, just check their social channels! 6. The Troll That person that always manages to cross that line from unpleasant opposition to downright hate speech, no matter how sensitive or irrelevant the issue. These people aren't worth any more time than it takes to hit the “block” button. 7. The Influencer A tiny percentage of people create original content. I've heard it's as low as 1%. Influencers are those that are producing high-quality content and sharing their knowledge with their social media community. They are passionate about their topic and love to help educate others. They understand entirely the concept of “quality content” and live and breathe it every day. 8. The Early Adopter They were on Facebook or LinkedIn before it was mainstream and love to remind you about it. This unique type of social media user has also likely moved on to all the new, shiny social platforms that you might hear about months from now. 9. The Black Booker A real relationship builder, this person looks at social media in the most practical way possible: a means to communicate with other people. Long before the days of mobile, these people swore by having a little black book full of phone numbers. 10. The Family Person These social media users tend to avoid technology but fell in love with social media the moment they realized they could keep in touch with their family members from every corner of the world as if they were right across the street. |
