Criticism is gold. As bloggers you’ve likely read posts about how to shut out or ignore criticism.

Maybe you’ve heard how successful bloggers used criticism as fuel to burn their competitive fire.

Only one problem…..what you resist is true to you.

In some cases critics are mean spirited people who want to project their unhappiness on you but in many instances a less than tactful reader is presenting you with a golden nugget of truth. If a critic angers you, they did you a wonderful service. They revealed some block/truth that you should face and embrace to learn from.

Once you mine truth from criticism you can monetize feedback swiftly.
