It all depends on how you spin it after the fact. Most people will blindly follow where the masses go without looking for substance anyway.

When I worked at LikeWhoa there was always turmoil and people still signed up for services.... Just goes to show how the power of the spin can be used.

Like they say there is no such thing as bad publicity, just bad press agents

If there's drama surrounding you then at least you get 'known'.. and the more you are recognised the more power you have, whether people want to or not, they'll make certain associations with your name based on what they hear about you.

I'd say sometimes it can be bad.. but look at Jacko, you'd think no-one would be buying his stuff anymore really and that all this court/charges stuff would have a negative effect.. but if he gets off, I bet his stuff will skyrocket, and if he gets put away then anything he's done will probably gain certain notoriety value and people will be clammering to get hold of some of his stuff.

This is a toughie for sure, I voted yes and no, it can be good and bad.. cos sometimes no amount of spin can get the shit wiped from your name.

i'm sold out, so i guess it's good. but i was sold out before this, we have more clients now but it's just waiting list - doesn't increase my income since i can't take any more but it just makes it more stable i guess and allows me to pick and choose more which is good.

master as in i can weave and spin like only few others.
all in time, all in time you will see be patient, nothing is overnight work.

"no one knows your business"? what are you talking about, just because you dont know it doesnt mean other people do not, find them.

Probably both. Negative publicity is not all good. There are companies on here I wouldnt do business with or send traffic too becuase their representatives seem like idiots.

there is always certain cases, but that kind of publicity is because he has been proven over and over to be a scammer.

the kind of drama i am talking about is the type that can have 2 seperate views on it, and when you have 2 sides debating your material it usually comes along with a possitive return in the longrun.
