As a content creator you are putting yourself out there.

You're saying to people,"hey read my stuff, watch my videos, listen to my podcast". You are standing up hopefully in the service of others and you are going to get feedback. A lot of this feedback will likely be positive. Much of this feedback will be completely silent. And some of the feedback will be negative.

What is a "Hater"?

You first need to be clear. There are haters and there are members of your tribe who have valid criticism. The key is to know the difference. Haters are just mean. They can be crude in their comments, outlandish, and without any sort of care for the person on the other end. When dealing with a hater the best thing to do is to delete the comment and dance. Don't engage, don't respond, just delete and dance.

What to ask yourself when you receive criticism

1. Is this a member of your tribe?


2. Is the criticism valid?


3. Is the criticism representative?

What to do next?

• Delete and dance


• Respond out of service


• Ignore
