What If Someone "Steals" Your Content?
What if indeed; have you ever heard that saying "Imitation is the purest form of flattery"?. I am never concerned when someone takes parts or the whole of my content and takes them for their own work. Why is this you might ask me - simple - I have an excellent Google presence and my work is well known and unique to ME. I could waste my time searching the web for the people who take my words as their own, but no point. The reason for this is because my articles/blogs/tips are also used when I offer presentations/workshops. I know the whole meaning of what I write and why. If you take a part of what I wrote in an article but you have no idea why I wrote it or the end purpose it's just empty words. A bit like when people post motivational quote, after quote online but have no real reason to as they do not relate to their business in any way.
Thank you for liking my work, thank you for sharing it with your readers, thank you for sharing with your connections that you have no idea what you are writing and do not have the experience to carry through with your clients. Eventually those connections will come back to me, like a boomerang and book ME, pay me, compliments or my fee because someone *stole* my content:)
Now before you get confused, I am not talking about the people who share or post or publish my work and offer me the chance to showcase who I am; those people add my name,and contact info. I am talking about the takers who *steal* my words and share them as their own.
Essentially no one can *steal* your content, it's yours and you know the true meaning of it, I would not spend my time stressing about it.
