If I don\u2019t like you, I won\u2019t even bother trolling you. And I only troll people I like because, the way I understand it (and I may not understand it\u2026 chasing social media algorithms is boring), it helps my friends.<\/p>\n<p>How so?<\/p>\n<p>Because my kind of trolling often gets engagement.<\/p>\n<p>And, engagement, often gets Flakebook love from what I am told.<\/p>\n<p>And, if there is engagement, it shows your post to more people.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m just not seeing a downside to having flakebook trolls.<\/p>\n<p>That is, unless you\u2019re easily rattled and don\u2019t know how to handle trolls. If you get angry, emotional, and frustrated with trolls\u2026 instead of using their troll ways to your advantage, then you probably should shun trolls.<\/p>\n<p>Wait a minute, what?<\/p>\n<p>How do you use trolling to your advantage?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s quite simple:<\/p>\n<p>When you see someone trolling you on Flakebook, take something they say, and write an email about it designed to sell your product\/service. And, it doesn\u2019t have to be Flakebook trolls. It can be people who troll you by email, Twitter, or any other media.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re giving you a gift.<\/p>\n<p>Use it.<\/p>\n<p>Love it.<\/p>\n<p>And, yes, profit from it.<\/p>\n<p>And you know what else?<\/p>\n<p>When you use my email methods, trolls put gold in ye olde pocketses.<\/p>\n<p>You simply use the info I teach about using Q&amp;A\u2019s in the Email Players Playbook. And, instead of answering someone\u2019s question, you quote the troll, answer it, and use my ways to make the sale.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, that book comes with your subscription.<\/p>\n<p>To read more about what\u2019s in it, go here:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.EmailPlayers.com\"><strong>www.EmailPlayers.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ben Settle<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cIt was one small chest, hardly overflowing.
