04. My Top Tips for Protecting Your Content Online (Plus, How to Prevent & Deal w/ Copycats!)

In this episode, Yasmine discusses how to protect your content online in various situations: whether you're providing free or paid access to original content you’ve created, creating content for others, or have caught an infringer in the act. Knowing your rights when it comes to the content you create is crucial to staying ahead and protecting your intellectual property. Yasmine also talks more about how contracts are a useful tool and a first line of defense that adds a much-needed layer of protection to your content online.

Key Takeaways:

• Be proactive in protecting your content by clearly stating the terms and conditions of its use by the user, reader, client, or subscriber.
• When hiring someone to create content for you, ensure that ownership of the content is clearly defined in a written contract.
• If you discover someone infringing on your content, gather evidence and consider sending a takedown request or consulting with an attorney.
