Ignoring The Haters

This is the best social media guru advice I will ever give you….

Ignore The Haters.

The social web fosters real time communication, information access and an immediacy that is profound. But it brings with it a problem in that a small number of destructive people can get your attention easily.

When people attack you on the social web, it can be difficult to ignore.

Trolls will gnaw at your ego and say offensive things.

When you respond, you allocate valuable energy away from constructive pursuits. You comply with the hater whose intentions are to provoke.

For those who are busy sharing and gathering information, connecting with good people and building brand the best advice is to just ignore. No buts.

Its one of those simple rules that is hard to follow in practice but it is wise counsel.

No one ever accomplished anything brilliant bickering and life is far too short to waste time with such nonsense.
