In this episode of S*%! People Say, I’m talking about one of the most unfortunate things you’ll encounter when building a personal brand: internet trolls. I’ve dealt with my fair share, and it definitely sucks, but I’m learning how to not let it affect me.  Whenever you start to get a certain level of attention on social media—even a “professional” site like LinkedIn—you’re going to attract doubters and haters. I share a couple of stories in the episode about my most polarizing posts that have attracted some less-than-kind comments, and how I handled it (or wish I’d handled it).  Remember: when trolls lash out, it’s about them, not you. Don’t let it stop you from building a personal brand, and thus from growing your business.  If you like this episode, check out these resources.Podcast: https://www.jackiehermes.com/podcast/doubters-haters (Doubters & haters) Podcast: https://www.jackiehermes.com/podcast/when-people-lash-out-at-you (When people lash out at you) Video: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/thejackiehermes_when-you-create-video-content-you-open-yourself-activity-6540962478409469952-4wPa (Responding to troll comments) More about the show: ​​http://www.jackiehermes.com/podcast (www.jackiehermes.com/podcast) More about the show: ​​http://www.jackiehermes.com/podcast (www.jackiehermes.com/podcast) Hit me up! https://the-art-of-entrepreneurship.captivate.fm/linkedin (LinkedIn) https://the-art-of-entrepreneurship.captivate.fm/instagram (Instagram) https://the-art-of-entrepreneurship.captivate.fm/tiktok (TikTok) https://the-art-of-entrepreneurship.captivate.fm/website (Website)
