So how do you deal with negative comments on YouTube
in this video we're going to share five tips on how to punch haters in the teeth
what's up guys Benji here Sean here
this is video influencers helping you build your influence income and impact
with online video and today we're talking all about negative comments you
know I've heard that hater stands for having anger towards everyone reaching
success and that's kind of the reality as soon as you put yourself out there if
you're getting any views at all
you're going to start to attract hate like the Kardashians attract drama
it's just going to come your way so tip number one is expect negative comments
to come your way if you put out a video depending on your personality especially
when you grow your influence
you're going to get people are going to be leaving negative comments and if you
prepare yourself mentally you're going to really prepare yourself for success
in dealing with those negative comments
you know I've heard it said that the only way to avoid criticism is to do
nothing be nothing and say nothing but if you put yourself out there
it's going to come so as you said mental preparation and being ready for it
tip number two ban bullies haters and blatant negativity
here's the thing you have one hundred percent control and authority over your
YouTube channel if anyone's being blatantly negative or hateful you can
ban them from commenting or you can delete the comment or you can give them
a warning and so take that authority into your own hands or you can even
have somebody help you
that is not going to take it personally to help you shape the culture of your
YouTube channel
tip number three focus on the positivity
you know I like to not take too much time on deleting comments banning people
because i'd like to respond to the positive
commenters on my channels yeah you know there's a thing called haters math and
that is that 99 positive comments
plus one negative comment equals one negative comment right because our mind
could read all the good but then find one bad and be like focus on that all
day and it kind of eats you up so you have to be
intentional to think about what about the 99
what about all of the people that are being positive and really kind of train
your mindset to focus on those things to rehearse those things and to celebrate
them
tip number four consider the source the reality is that healthy people build
others up
they don't tear them down and so any kind of negativity is not coming from
somebody who is in a good place
who is probably very successful themselves it's probably coming out a
lot of hurt and a lot of pain and I might sound tough but you can almost
have empathy considering where that person is coming from and just not
really taking it personally
and you know this is the reality as well you don't know what that person was
having a bad day you don't know what age it could be like 11 12 year old that
doesn't know any better than just trying to troll on people's channels so
realizing that there might not be any justification for the negative comments
at all
yeah so just don't put weight to it when somebody's sending negativity your way
don't treat that like a trusted friend and let that become something that is
internalised try this
keep thick-skinned but a soft heart tip number five is keep a positive
environment for yourself
think about it like this if you eat junk food every single day you're going to
feel sick and you're going to feel unhealthy but if you eat healthy every
single day and you only eat junk food like once it's not even really affect
you
it's kind of the same when we digest positivity or negativity you want to
create a positive environment whether that's the people that you surround
yourself with the books that you read the YouTube channels that you watch
so you're digesting positivity then when a negative comment shows up
it's not going to have a profound effect on you but you can't eat that negativity
all the time
