Don't Take It Personally - Dad Log - Stardate 09072018

Dad Logs - A Glimpse Into the Mind of a Broadcaster

Today I want to chat about not taking unfollowers personally. It's really easy, as the industry puts heavy emphasis on follower counts, to get down about even one person unfollowing you on your channel, twitter, or whatever else. Whether it's intentional, unintentional, a bug, or whatever, it can feel personal. But at the end of the day, we have to do our best to put things in perspective. That person may have wiped their whole follow list. It could be a bug in the platform like on Mixer. It might just be that you're not bringing value to them any more. My encouragement for you, is to do your best to not take unfollows personally. It's going to happen ALL THE TIME and focusing on it isn't going to help you make your best content. Focus on continuing to entertain, bring value to your community, and the rest will fall into place. Don't let an unfollow or two or five derail from putting your best foot forward every day. God bless!
