What never to say if you want to be more popular

Several years ago, I remember blogger & author Vox Day writing about the foolishness of people who offer unsolicited advice and criticism. And while he wasn't talking about marketers, it is rampant in the online marketing world. And to them, I shalt graciously pass on his words of wisdom: “… please understand that offering unsolicited advice and criticism is something that you should never, ever, do. That habit is one of the primary reasons that people not only don't like you, but actively avoid your company. If you want to be more popular, then excise the words ‘should’, ‘need’, and ‘seem’ from your vocabulary. Never, ever, use them.” An observation: I've long noticed people who give unsolicited marketing advice don't have an opinion as much as their opinion has them — often reflexively parroting whatever their favorite guru says. More: If you are ever planning to use my ways, I can all but promise you’ll get unsolicited advice. Especially from people wanting free stuff, amateurs who read a few chapters of a book that one time, and goo-roo fanboys who can't resist projecting their own biases onto everyone else. When that happens, no reason to be frustrated. It's a gift if you simply do what I do: Turn their dumb advice into emails to sell even more of whatever it is you’re selling. You can see an example or two of how I’ve done just that in the 600+ page swipe file inside my “Affiliate Launch Copynomicon” book, along with how to turn these fine, upstanding blokes giving unsolicited advice into your own “unpaid interns.” The deadline is approaching fast.
