How to deal with trolls

Social Media and Blogging Blog Nosh Magazine{Originally published on The Bloggess}

Yesterday someone asked me how to deal with trolls and haters. I have no damn idea.

Trolls are just like you and me. Only shittier. Or more honest. Or likely to murder gypsies. Fuck, I don’t know. I’m not a mind reader. I don’t know the motivation of everyone reading your blog but what I do know is that in real life you come across assholes and weirdos and someone out there is selling computers to these people. People like the guy who left me this comment:

“I was right, you aren’t that hot. Damn.”

I didn’t mind that some stranger thought I was un-hot but what was disconcerting was that in the photo the guy was referring to? I was seven. And totally hot.



The Hope for Change… in our pants

nosh notes The chocolate-smudged face of Blog Nosh Magazine is in the process of changing. For the better. We are loosening our belt to make room for more delectable goodness, and eyeing some snazzy new pants with an elastic waistband.

In other words, the response to our call for new channels and new Channel Editors has been overwhelming and we are moving forward with a move to WordPress, complete with a new layout and easier navigation.

Look for the relaunch of Blog Nosh Magazine the second week of September. In the meantime, I’d like to introduce you to one of the new editors we brought in before the open call and are eager to see what she will bring to the table:

Deb on the Rocks!

Okay, it sure seems like we keep bringing women in and still no men, but they are coming. Speaking of coming, let’s talk more about Deb. wink wink

How to Earn Income from Your Blog

Tech Metablogging Blog Nosh Magazine
Originally published at Blogging Basics 101

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could post
our little hearts out, sit back, and watch the dollars roll in? The
truth is that there are very few people getting wealthy from blogging.
If you’re doing it solely for the bucks, you’re probably going to be
disappointed.

There are, however, a few ways to generate a bit of bloggy income.

The most obvious way to earn income is by having ads in your
sidebar, or elsewhere on your page. You can try selling these
yourself–a lot of work, but it works for some people. Many bloggers
have had success using an ad service that sells the ads for you, giving
you a percentage of the income. (They give you the code to insert on
your blog, and your ads will appear in that spot. Any ad service worth
its salt will offer you pleny of editorial freedom to block certain
types of ads from your blog.)

No one likes an empty plate… Submit Your Posts for Publication Now!

Noshnotes
Hey, why no new posts today?

Because you didn’t send us any!

Okay, not really. This was an oversight on my part caused by distraction due to some major changes we are working on for Blog Nosh Magazine. Sorry about that. I really need some help…

Hey, you! Help me out! Blog Nosh Magazine thrives by your submissions so take a look at your archives and send us your best posts! We receive dozens of submissions a month, but it takes dozens of dozens of submissions to keep our pantry fully stocked.

Choose a couple of your best blog posts, browse through our editors for one to submit your work to in the appropriate channel, follow the instructions on our Publication Guidelines page, and SUBMIT! If you have trouble choosing an editor, you can send your posts directly to me, but be sure to include all of the requested information, particularly which channel for which it is intended.

Month One: Just Write, Dammit.

EditorNoshNotes

Blog Nosh Magazine has been live for exactly one month today. One month! Look at all that we’ve accomplished in one month. All the blogs we’ve introduced to new readers, all the new genres we’ve explored. It has been a spectacularly satisfying launch and I have no one to thank but you.

Thank you to our readers.
Thank you to our bloggers.
Thank you to our editors.

The way Blog Nosh Magazine works is that our channel editors scour the blogs in their genre and choose the most moving or entertaining or enlightening posts in the archives of those blogs. The hardest part is learning to click beyond the front page of a blog. That is, perhaps, the hardest part of reading blogs for all of us. Taking the great leap into the archives.

Then again, as a blogger, one of the hardest things is to convince our readers that we are more than our front page. That perhaps those posts we wrote in the first week of our blog’s existence are just as valuable as the posts we write today. More interestingly, perhaps those old posts are also the most true. You never know.

We change as writers with every post we publish. It is, at the very least, interesting to shed light on our archives from time to time. Whether we do it through the “favorite posts” sections of our sidebars, the self-backlinks within the context of our posts, or by allowing publications such as Blog Nosh Magazine to focus the spotlight for you.

Thank you to the 44 bloggers that have allowed us to shine the spotlight on their work in this, our first month of Blog Nosh Magazine.

Although we only published her yesterday, allow me to share with you the story behind the process of spotlighting just one of those 44 bloggers…

Words of wisdom from the world’s greatest thinkers are timeless
providing advice which is as relevant now as when first spoken. All of
these quotes could easily be applied to blogging:

Advice for Bloggers

Albert Enstein quotes

  1. They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel. Carl W. Buechner
  2. When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but creatures of emotion. Dale Carnegie
  3. Speech is power: speech is to persuade, to convert, to compel. It
    is to bring another out of his bad sense into your good sense. Ralph Waldo Emerson
  4. The ability to speak eloquently is not to be confused with having something to say. Michael P. Hart
  5. My opponent can compress the most words into the fewest ideas of anyone I’ve ever known. Abraham Lincoln
  6. Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind. Rudyard Kipling
  7. You do not really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandmother. Albert Einstein
  8. I don’t let my mouth say nothin’ my head can’t stand. Louis Armstrong

Research Tips

  1. First learn the meaning of what you say, and then speak. Epictetus
  2. Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not
    believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do
    not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your
    religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of
    your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they
    have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and
    analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is
    conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and
    live up to it. Buddha

Writing Tips

Mark Twain quotes

  1. What is written without effort is in general read without pleasure. Samuel Johnson
  2. Put it before them briefly so they will read it, clearly so they
    will appreciate it, picturesquely so they will remember it and, above
    all, accurately so they will be guided by its light. Joseph Pulitzer
