This is the one piece of advice where you don't do what Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg do. So if anybody calls you out on social media, you don't challenge them to a cage fight. You just ignore them. I've been called out dozens of times, and honestly, it's always people that are below me. People ahead of you will never hate on you, and the best thing you can do is just shut up. You beat the game by not playing. So if anybody ever calls you out on social media, just shut up. Dies in a day or two. I would recommend instead of talking about the competitor and giving them energy, Focus on what you do and say thank you, because thank you for using your huge audience to drive traffic to mine. You don't need to outsmart your competition. This is just emotional control. Don't fall for it, but you can follow me for more tips on how to monetize your audience.
