Hi Friends,
As the saying goes… when it rains it pours. One of the great things about being a content creator is the connections you build with people. Reaching more and more people also means attracting more trolls too though. Probably 98% of the comments I get on my various social media channels are positive in nature and conversational – but randomly yesterday I got multiple trolling comments at once!
Comments like this can shake you up, make you angry and kind of ruin your day. It’s sooo tempting to write them a snarky comment back to show them how much of a jerk they are. In this video I share my thoughts with how to deal with online trolls.
Is it best to just ignore these remarks or respond?
Why do people leave comments like this?
Isn’t responding good so the troll understands the impact of their words and see the other side?
Why are trolling comments so triggering? (hint) They make comments with a seed of truth and they try to prey on your insecurities.
Can letting them know they are being a jerk and their comments are hurtful ever have a positive impact in changing their viewpoint?
Isn’t it good for content creators to get feedback? If the comments are all sunshine and roses… how can they improve?
Feel free to find me on Twitter and re-tweet this quote from my vlog today.

People that are kicking ass in their own life, don’t take the time to stop and tear people down.
I hope you guys enjoyed this video and I look forward to chatting with you below! What do you think… is it better to ignore these comments, or respond?
