Guest Post - Handling Negative Comments On Your Blog Post

I encourage you to read the entire post via Chris Brogan:

angry face The following guest post comes from the talented Jason Alba of JibberJobber.com

Ifyou are like me, you don’t write blog posts to fish for negative comments.

But negative comments are really hard to deal with. It doesn’t help that most comments on my blog are positive and supportive of what I have to say. “Right on!” “Totally agree!” “Excellent post!” This is good for my ego, but bad to prepare me to handle anything negative.

  1. Take time to cool off.
  2. Justbe quiet and let your contacts defend you.
  3. Ignorethe comment, or reply with a very short, non-combative response.
  4. Clarifythe intentions, OFF BLOG.
  5. Don’tapprove, or delete, the comment.

What would your advice be?

Jason Alba designed JibberJobber.com to replace his job search spreadsheet. He also wrote I’m on LinkedIn — Now What??? and I’m on Facebook — Now What??? You can follow him on Twitter here: @jasonalba
