True Fans should be treated as an equal and sometimes more than that. You truly have to care for them. They can back you up no matter what. Values also plays a role in this. Some people get really big and they forget about their core values and goals. As we journey we need to always remember the reason on why we are doing things. Are fans are there to back us up. Don't disappoint. Hehe p.s. Some people treat their fans like a free workforce. Just truly bad. If it's a favor it's okay but if it's more than that, I agree... fans should also be compensated.

With so much online written tools (no body language there) the communication of "hot" things could easily fall in mutual misreading messages. That makes all the social wealth of the experience to collapse for everybody. Thank you for sharing this. I'm sure is plenty of people needing to know about preventing this problems and I found that you were authentically generous in this post. Your attitude is saying that you'll recover fast :) Best o/ I found important the clarification you did about eye-to-eye contact.

I know something like this would seriously make me angry. There are always those kind of people out there, and you never really know how things will turn out! You're doing awesome and your blog is great, so don't let the haters distract you too much. Just prove them wrong by being even better! You have my support! Cheers Diggy Hey cody :)

The beauty about the blogging world is it's openness. In the one or two months I have been writing my personal blog I have not reached rising star status.. but more importantly I have found is that other bloggers and entrepreneurs are more apt to extend there hand if you are proactive in extending yours. Reciprocity is key in any walk of life...especially in the online world. I praise you for sharing this experience with everyone. It's not easy to share a demoralizing experience with many people. But believe me...I think this post helped alot of people access how they handle any type of success. @brentongieser Hey Cody,

I think anyone who pursues these kinds of actions is very short-sighted, as your post and feelings about the situation prove. This "big blogger" has nothing on you. Be your own brand! You'll be as big as you let yourself be, you just have to believe it. Do it better, nicer, smarter. Take this lesson not as "why you shouldn't help other people" but "how you'll approach it when you have fans". Learn the lesson this blogger wouldn't and move on. The internet has a way of working these things out (i.e. total jerks don't stay on top long). Having readers, fans, followers is a trust. It's a gift. It can be humbling at times. They can call you out and keep you honest. But they are also your best asset. Too bad not everyone gets that. Cody,
