How to deal with online bullies?

Imagine walking into a forum that others have spoke about as being popular in the topic of your interest as a newbie, after your first question or post on the forum a guy usually with 100000 posts flames (demeaning words) you on the forum right away after your first post. How do you feel?

All of us are newbies at one point, whether it is in a certain field, work, or life. Even in the world of money making which is something I blog about, the same idea applies. Somehow, somewhere, there are always ones that bullies people around. What is the reason behind it? Usually it is caused by a lack of self confidence, a bad day, or to proof that they are better.

What do you do when you are faced in such circumstances? Simple, ignore and acknowledge authorities when applicable. These bullies thrive when others are giving them a reaction they want, why should you fall victim of it? If it is in a forum, heck jump to a new thread and ignore their accusations. Acknowledge a moderator of such circumstance and if repeatedly done in such fashion the moderator will ban them without you needing to do a thing. Some may say, let's just go head on! Well, the results are often times mixed. If the guy speaking it in the forum has 100000 posts like I said earlier, they probably have others that they are familiar with that will stick around by their side within the forum so as a newbie it's probably best not to argue with them. Plus, what result does it bring? Nothing! Let's say that you win the argument, so what? They can start another thread and do the same thing. Don't ever loose your cool, because once you do you loose all respects from others.

Let's change the environment a little bit. What if it is done on your blog? What I like to do personally is that I like to screen my comments and delete anything that is malicious or spam. If you are using Wordpress, then use spam plugins (there are many of them) to fend off spams. Whenever a blog gets popular, there are always spammers or others that is jealous of your success or just want to link bait. Don't fall for it and keep things clean and professional! Remember, your blog or forum's authority is built based on how you handle or deal with certain type of events. If we are so stuck with what others think about us there will never be an end! -Swapw

The power of criticism and how to deal with it

* Intro to critcism to your blog (0:00 - 0:53)

* My own struggles (0:54 - 1:57)

* The importance of criticism (1:58 - 3:04)

* The increase of readers brings different views (3:05 - 4:35)

* Wrap up (4:36 - 4:53)



Over the past few weeks, I have been experiencing some criticism from my viewers. I will have to say most of the time I was not a happy camper as a result from these criticisms. As I have learned slowly on the importance to embrace them rather then to put them aside, today through my video I will help explain to you the importance of handling these criticisms.

As a number one asset of any blog whether it is to make money or to speak on any specific topic, it is very important that each and every criticism is taken into heart. I have failed doing that many times but slowly, I have realize their importance to a success of a blog. Readers are a blogger's biggest asset and it is through critiques one can only improve and arise into a better expert in their particular topic as a result of it.

Another point that I would like to also point out is that whenever there's a debate or disagreement, that demonstrate the power of your blog or comment. As your reader base increases, there will always be a spike in disagreements and you will never fulfill everyone's wishes. Obviously my blog is about making money, it's important for myself to listen to what others are talking about money out there besides what I'm learning. To make money smart, without listening how would you know "how to" make money from all available assets out there? I have to say that it has been humbling but it's definitely a lesson worth learning and hopefully you will too!
