I’ve been on your blog for about five hours today, studying. Thanks for all the helpful info!

I used to get that a lot, people complaining that some of my posts are “horrible advice” and “too boring, too generic” but of course my target audience is American teen girls who usually have an outspoken and rude personality. Since then, I’ve changed my target audience to Canadian, British, and Australian teens and women under 33 years old and have many more positive comments. It does hurt when someone comments negatively, but it’s usually the person’s fault, not the blogger. I know that if I don’t like something I read, if it’s too boring, I simply don’t comment. I just leave the blog and never return.

There are always going to be days when someone brings you down. It’s hard to please everyone; in fact it’s pretty much impossible. Sometimes you have to accept the fact that not everyone is going to love what you do. Its too much of a headache trying to please everyone…
till then,

Feedback Cuts Both Ways…

Yaro Starak wrote recently on his Entrepreneur’s Journey blog about some feedback he has gotten. The nutshell version is that, and this may sound obvious to some, not everyone likes want he is doing. Certain people drop off of……

Fair enough Yaro.

Just delete the comment as appropriate.

I guess there are times when restraint of tongue and electronic pen should be better practiced, but more importantly, post and submit buttons should be sometimes used with a little more thought.

I apologise if my remarks caused any unnecessary upsets.

Aitch – to be fair Tim unsubscribed from my newsletter, not my blog.

Be careful with some of your comments, you are extrapolating a lot from two words “basic and boring”. He never said anything about not having further use for me or my work, just that he unsubscribed from one of my newsletters because it was basic and boring.

He he! Sorry to laugh but it tickles me that the ‘unsubscriber’ finds the written material of Yaro Starak so simple and below his level of knowledge, yet he still obviously has the site bookmarked, then revisits the Ã¢â‚¬Ëœblog-basicÃ¢â‚¬â„¢!

Further more, he then contributes by commenting on an article so soon after announcing he has no further interest or use for either the author or his content!

Welcome back reader. It’s seems that Entrepreneurs journey dot com has got you doing what most blogers dream about – Visiting the site and commenting on it’s subject matter whether you intended to or not.

Hi Tim – I wrote this article because it offered me a chance to talk about a point regarding having the right audience for your business and being prepared for people who are not the right target market to tell you that your materials are not helping.

Your statement of fact was a reflection on something I produced so it’s going to do “something for me” no matter whether you want it to or not.

I’m glad you did what you did because it gave me the perfect case to illustrate an important point. I left the comment source anonymous because it was irrelevant to the point I was making. However if you feel hard done by because of this article, I apologise.

I’ve got a bunch of blog traffic newsletters ready to go out and no doubt some of them will be just as boring for you but you never know, one may have something of value for you.

I generally stay subscribed to newsletters even if one or two in a row are quite “boring” for me if they come from someone I think is credible or has produced something valuable in the past. You never know when they might pop out a little nugget of gold again. In the meantime it doesn’t take much effort to hit the delete button on any newsletters I don’t find valuable rather than unsubscribe.

Furthermore… if you cannot handle “negative” feedback, than don’t solicit feedback.

Yaro, quite frankly, my feedback wasn’t supposed to do anything for you… it was statement of fact. So let it be your first time…

Anyone with half a brain can work out why hosting your blog on it’s own domain is better than using someone like blogger… if they can’t, they deserve to read your newsletter.

Honestly, if my knowledge is too advance for basic blogging advice and I let you know that, why is this something you need to analyse and post about? Get over it.
