Am I a selfish, bad brother?

I have that in my family, but we just take it that who’s better gets the jobs simple as. It makes us more productive.

I honestly think there’s nothing wrong with what’s going on between you and your brother, he just needs to grow up. Btw I’m assuming he’s the younger jealous brother, correct?
 
I would never offer the same services in the same site with one of my relatives.

From what i have read you are both pretty insane imho.
 
I don't think working in the same line of business is that bad of a thing if you felt it necessary.
Family should come together and help each-other be successful.

However, I do think it was shitty to post on the same forums he sells on.
Probably shouldn't of tried to directly compete with him.
That specific part was pretty shitty in my eyes.

Make right with your brother, even if you think he's wrong.
Life's to short man.
 
It feels like it's much more to this story, like, your brothers side.

I doubt he flipped out because you pointed out one silly little button. If he did, he's got problems. But I get the feeling that there is more to it.

This doesn't make you a bad brother I guess, but it's a real shitty thing to do. I wouldn't do that to a friend or a sibling.

He's got his thing going on, selling stuff on a specific forum. You start learning the same craft and then offer the same type of work on the same forum he is on? That's just wrong. You also try to blame it on them by saying they didn't give you jobs to do. You could have picked any other forum, but you had to choose that one and make your brother lose money by offering the same product for free.

Probably a lot of family stuff mixed in this where you all just behave like girls. But from the information you provided, I believe you did a shitty thing and I would count you as a disloyal and egoistic person.

Okay... it's the brother here. You have no idea how angry I am right now! @SYAWEDIS I want to let you know that you're not my brother anymore. You stole my niche, my business, my income, my life...

I have nothing left but my wife... Steal her and I'll KILL you!:mad::mad::mad:

DAD HERE

I am just dissapointed by both of you
Stop being bitches and act like a man

Btw choosing same niche which brother is doing is not bad
The bad part is that you advertising your ssrvices on the same forum
 
I would not call you terrible but I would never do that to one of my brothers.
This sounds just like him.
Let me flip it around. Let's say you were starting your construction company and wanted to advertise your business in the local newspaper (which happens to be the best) you saw I have ads in, and instead of me helping you out in any way I could (which I 100% would, probably even throw you some overflow clients) I FORBID you from using that newspaper. So let me get this straight, you are saying the brother who posted in the same newspaper is of low moral and disloyal, and the brother who forbids their own blood from using a newspaper (as if he owns it) is of saintly decent?

XD



+1. My brother (15 years old) just started learning about internet marketing and other stuff,which basically means that he could be my competition some day. I was so happy that he started learning about internet marketing and that I can actually talk to someone who understands. Also,my 2nd younger brother (9 years old) just started learning editing videos. I am no expert in both internet marketing and video editing,but I know a thing or two that they do not know. So I absolutely love helping them out. That's what family is for. Now,I'm not saying that the OP is terrible or that his brother is terrible. I respect his decision/s,but,just like you @BassTrackerBoats I would never do that to one of my brothers.
lol do 'what' exactly?

I honestly think there’s nothing wrong with what’s going on between you and your brother, he just needs to grow up. Btw I’m assuming he’s the younger jealous brother, correct?
No he is the older 'more mature' brother.

I would never offer the same services in the same site with one of my relatives.

From what i have read you are both pretty insane imho.
So if one of your relatives is a graphic designer, you would completely ignore that field just because they are there first? Even if you are extremely passionate about it? THAT is pretty insane, imho.

However, I do think it was shitty to post on the same forums he sells on.
Probably shouldn't of tried to directly compete with him.
That specific part was pretty shitty in my eyes.
Seems people really cling onto this, just as he does. I didn't get into much detail but my post advertised different services than he does. When looking for practice I asked for logos to work on just to practice, and his reply was "I don't really do those sorry" - and my post was about logos and banners. Not websites. Not landers. Besides it was there for 1 day before he raged and I abandoned the place. I respected his wishes, even if I thought he came across as childish.

I praised the website he made me, and asked for 1 change. Simple as that. If you knew my brother, you know a fly on the wall could make him lose his shit.

As for the rest, I'd say you have an odd way of judging people, but feel free to read the other replies above.

Dad why do you always take my brothers side!
Advertising in the same newspaper as a sibling makes you a bad person. Got it. *shrug*
 
This sounds just like him.

Let's not.

Let's take this situation as it is.

I'll stand with how I would handle it... you do what you want but I'm not going hypothetical with you on this.

So judging by all your replies: you wanted people to agree with you, nothing else.
 
That isn't selfishness and you did nothing wrong if you learnt and did the same thing as his.
But everything has its own advantages and drawback.
The fact that you are now specialised enough would help you in your work.
On the other hand you spooled your relationship with your brother cause you are his competitor(atleast according to him).
 
fist thing first .

was you and brothers ever close at all becouse most brothers edge eachover on to sucesss in anythink with no jelousey at all.

but if you was all fighting and swearing and never spoke when little while growing up and always picking on eachover then i understand everthink .

it usally come back to growing up.

NO YOUR NOT BAN BROTHER OR BAD PERSON JUST FAMILY UPBRINGING ARE All DIFFRENT

there 2 sides of the story , you might just hate eachover or just can not stand eachover

there can be jelousy becouse parents like one child more then other .

the point is dont let this effect you,
what your good at your good at no one owns no one .

try love eachover as brothers and both grow up.(( life so short!

surprised mum and dad don't knock all your heads together .
lol

can not choose family mate! like friends.

your all learn as you get a lot older .

your bro has some inner frustrations, he knows where he's at and he feels threatened. therefore, he's playing the family card on you to bring you down, to his level.

I'd like to show off a bit: I consider myself a generous brother, as I gave away my second business completely to my sister. she's doing only about 60-70% of how much I was making out of it, but it's still good, she's independent.
 
My brother is in the same business as me. We are both copywriters. We even have some of the same customers. It’s even an advantage: when they have a lot of work, they split it. My brother gets some, I get some. For them it’s good as well, because their orders are being delivered twice as fast. We can communicate because we know each other, afterall.

We are not whining over who has which customers and who earns more. It’s bullshit that we can’t waste our time on. Instead we tell our customers sometimes to go to the other brother, because he can deliver faster now.

Turn your problems into advantages. Working together is not forbidden :).
 
men you're not the direct competition of your brother and the market is too big, i search on google and i find this report

ibisworld.com/industry-trends/global-industry-reports/business-activities/graphic-designers.html

ok? 46 Billions in 2018 per year, at least your brother has a big company with 60% of the market share and you the other 40% both are insignificantly for the market

talk with your brother i really understand the situation brothers (i have 2 ) it's complicated sometimes

never be partner with him you will have more problems that benefits sometimes mental peace has more value than anything
 
:eek: I was surprised that you didn't beat your brother ass up and get back the 200$
 
Naw man, your brother to me is being pretty immature about it. You went with the saying "If you want something done right, do it yourself" because your brother wasn't delivering or couldn't deliver what you needed. I feel if you found you have a passion for this type of work, why would he want to stop you from making a career out of it? That is a very selfish point-of-view because you deserve to be able to make money doing something enjoy too. The market is definitely big enough to have you both. Too bad you both couldn't figure out a way to work together.
 
:eek: I was surprised that you didn't beat your brother ass up and get back the 200$
Sending goons would be better

Or better way that my uncle does is to act normal after some fuker did something bad and after some time send goons to teach him/her a lesson and beat his/her ass very badly
 
So judging by all your replies: you wanted people to agree with you, nothing else.
Asking for the reason or logic where you see none is now considered wanting people to agree with you? I see. I always thought that was just having a conversation.

Besides, making this post was his idea. He's the one who wants people to agree with his point of view. I could care less what you guys think. I'm not a puppy who needs positive reinforcement.

Tell him to post then.

Let him discuss the pros and cons since you could care less.
