Sometimes things doesn’t proceed as you want them to be, and there v comes internet troll, remember those neighbourhood aunties? A new species of same classification has become handy these days- Trollers. No Matter if your uncle is any MLA or MP, They will attack you anyway. Although they are indispensable part of any internet sensation’s life, but below, are some major tips that you can follow to avoid the predicament.

1.Keep your Content Authentic:
The biggest problem that a creator faces today is lack of content, so they end up creating those things which are either a taboo or against the ethics of the community. Hence, they face trolls and constraints from the affected society. Though India is a secular and diverse country but people are sensitive to some issues hence should be avoided to some extent.

2.Bring out their real faces
Sometimes, the one who is trolling you may be your competitor or any other. Someone who is criticizing your writing or blog could have a laughable blog or statement. You just need to uncover them to

change your “frustration” into “pity”.

3.Don’t Support them through your platform.
If you are a host of the website or admin, you can warn the trollers or block them straightaway for criticizing you! In many applications like Youtube , you can disable thecomment sections if you get “intuitions” of trolling.

4.Create an integrated community
When you create a community which trusts your content, trolling can be minimized. For example, a troller finds any flaw in your content and attacks you for no reason, then, your members can control the situation by themselves without your intervention.

5.Correct your Mistakes
No one is born perfect. Humans learn from their mistakes and that’s what we are doing since 2.5 million years. This Mantra has never failed and will never until the end of this civilization. Hence admitting to your mistake can make a major difference!

6.Fight Back with Facts
Trollers tend to attack a creator through their baseless and lame facts.
If you become the target of rumours and false allegations, fight back with authentic facts.

7.Listen to them!
Though it sounds little hypocritic, But listening to memes and trolls may improve the quality of your content. Blindly ignoring your critics will take you nowhere, as a wise man once said “Keep your Friends near and enemies nearest”!

And the most important choice....

8.Ignore!!!!!!
They want your attention, they want your share of success and in today’s world sharing is foolishness! Hence don’t feed them and inculcate the habit of ignoring.

Don’t waste your valuable time and resource scrutinising the trolls. Stop giving a heck about what others feel- especially if they don’t have anything useful to offer!
