How can you engage with social media creatively and enjoyably, without being labelled a 'troll'? How can you avoid the dangers of aimless personal abuse in your online debates- whilst boosting both their power to provoke strong opinion and their entertainment value? Nick Funnell has over three years' experience creating consistently top-rated comment responses to popular YouTube videos. In Stop Trolling- Start Invigorating he shows how espousing entertaining and controversial opinions can be used to 'invigorate' arguments by positively and creatively throwing a spotlight on unexplored aspects of a debate. Funnell demonstrates his theory with over 400 examples of his most successful social media posts, covering all areas of life- from the trivialities of sexuality and sport to weightier considerations of politics, religion and death. Packed with short (less than 500 characters) anecdotes that will shock, amuse and provide insight, the aim of Stop Trolling- Start Invigorating is to energise and inspire the reader to master their own social media skills, for the benefit of themselves and other users.
