Hate … The Key to Writing Success
Oh, that, and another writing platform
I’ve often wondered where all the hate is stored on this platform.
It turns out it has been outsourced, stored on other writing platforms and in dark corners of the world wide web.
Now you can uncover the hate stored elsewhere and use it to your financial advantage while achieving worldwide fame, FAST!
I’ll tell you right here how to do it. But first, a few choice comments (of 100's I received) about my article linked below.
- “ungrateful assholes”
- “stand or get out, simple as that”
- “as long as you are down there [kneeling] open wide and swallow”
- “go live with the black [sic] you can all play with your dirty fists and fingers together”
- “they should get a knee to the face”
- “nothing a [sic] Auto A Browning can’t take care of. KA-BLAM”
- “we should all run down to the field we’re [sic] they are kneeling and kick their black asses!!!”
- “traitors should be hung”
All in response to this thought-provoking, and admittedly controversial, but completely non-hateful and non-hate-filled story. 👇 (Obviously this is the version that appeared on this writing platform.)
The how-to:
Pick a controversial topic.
The one I chose is fairly obvious.
The next hot button issue I’ll tackle, “Velcro! — pro or con?” so please don’t poach. However, you’re welcome to “abortion”, “systemic racism”, or “universal healthcare.”
Write about your controversial topic in a reasonable well-reasoned way.
Try your best to be sensitive to other points of view. Recognize, and so state in your story, that many feel strongly about the issue you’ve chosen. Use no satiric, demeaning, inflammatory or mocking language whatsoever. Write sensitively. Invite commentary and consideration for your viewpoint without demanding in any way that anyone agree with you.
Publish elsewhere.
Try googling “Kneeling during the national anthem … reconsidered & Michael Burg.” It’ll pop up as the 4th entry or so. Or, just hit the link I provided.
Wait for the hate to roll in.
It’ll be at your doorstep in abundance within an instant, guaranteed, like a flaming bag of poo.
The re$ult$. The $plendid benefit$ to you.
The article above appeared about five days ago elsewhere and as of this writing has generated 281,000 views and counting, 15,000+ reads, and nearly 1,000 comments, primarily negative, poorly written and hate-filled. Almost no respondent has given coherent reasons for the opposing views they hold even though a follow-up article (which incidentally is doing fairly well also) literally pleaded for them to do so.
The current “bottom line”
I’ve become briefly and semi “internet famous” in a way I never intended or desired. Also, more dollars have flowed my way in five days because of this single story than are usually generated by a month’s worth of stories on this platform.
So, if you too desire to be notorious and “rich” in both $ and human experience, do as I’ve done and you’ll be well on your way (perhaps to an untimely death and/or a bashed-in face). Plus you’ll have something else to write about on this platform.
Stay safe out there.
