You can never please everyone, and especially not all the time. It's a fact that you have to accept and that protects you from feeling moments of deep frustration. I'm lucky that on this blog I've experienced very few moments of aggressive attacks from users who have come here to criticize me or insult me.

My 3 ways to receive feedback on content quality
The criticism I receive is mostly constructive. In general, it highlights points that I cannot deny and even accept as a weakness, even though I am aware of them. The more I publish, the more feedback I receive. This can manifest itself in 3 different ways.
Subscriber unsubscribes : Subscriber unsubscribes are higher jio number list than average because the content seems to be less relevant, of lower quality, or people have simply grown tired of receiving my posts on a daily basis.
Direct constructive criticism : This is where comments on posts criticize the quality, the writing, or simply my point of view. I also receive this type of feedback through the form on my blog.
Low retweet count on social media : the retweet button is a good thermometer and indicator to see if a post has been liked or not. All the posts that remain below 250-300 RTs after 1 week have not really had a good acceptance by readers.
How I Respond to Constructive Criticism
“That’s not true” is the first reaction that comes to my mind when I read a review from a reader. I try to justify why I haven’t done things as well as I could have. These are all excuses that ultimately lead nowhere. We all have significant potential for improvement.
1. Take every criticism seriously : Criticism is good because it reminds you that it is not good to relax, but it should not affect you too much. In every constructive comment you find information to continue improving your work. It should not paralyze you but rather have the effect of getting you going to respond to it in a positive and constructive way.
