Still assuming youโ€™d just be screwed if someone stole your content?

Until you feel the horrific ZING of someone writing a social post thatโ€™s uncomfortably similar to yoursโ€ฆ you probably wonโ€™t be motivated to protect yourself in advance. 

Now Iโ€™m a lawyer (โ€œduh, Sam we knowโ€๐Ÿ˜‚). So when a copycat stole my website โ€” I went from 0 to Jersey in 6 seconds flat. Luckily, I knew what to do because of my background.

BUT having the fiasco happen in the first placeโ€ฆ was the last thing on this green earth I ever anticipated happening!

Think about it. A literal attorney would have to steal my stuff. Too ironic to happen, right? And then it did.

It was one of the worst days in my business’s life. I’ve been copied and mimicked here there and everywhere — but this copycat theft was different. Someone had literally lifted my entire website — testimonials, blog posts, product descriptions and all — as their own. It simultaneously broke my heart and infuriated me.

But as soon as I brought the copycat down and wiped away my crocodile tears, I had an idea. I wanted to make sure that you were never in that situation alone, not knowing what to do. It’s bad enough to be copied or stolen from — but I can’t imagine not knowing what legal steps to take next.

But now you don’t have to ๐Ÿ™‚

Because I’m hosting a free training on what to do if copycats steal your online business content. You can snag your seat right here ๐Ÿ™‚

What to Do If Copycats Steal Your Business Content

What would you do if your content or program was copied? Would you throw the perpetrator on blast? Accuse them of intellectual property theft? DM all your biz friends about the horrible thing this person did. Saying โ€œeveryone report their account! The NERVE of this [insert a not-so-nice b-word]!โ€ Then rat the thief out publicly on Insta?

Unless youโ€™ve spent 27 million hours studying for the bar like I didโ€ฆ itโ€™s impossible to understand why this is NOT a hot idea.

It puts you at risk for slander & libel for one. You could also waive your rights. Yep, even if you’re the one who got stolen from.

Doesnโ€™t mean you donโ€™t explore alternatives:

โ€ฆ like Googling โ€œhow to trademarkโ€ your stuff.

โ€ฆ deleting subscribers who do what you do from your email list.

โ€ฆ holding back from creating your biz entirely because the horror stories have you paranoid (ouch).

You want to protect yourself from copycats.

And yetโ€ฆ you wouldnโ€™t be able to piece together a cease & desist letter if you tried. So what do you do?

Learn from an actual attorney. ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ

Googling online can be helpful, but itโ€™ll make you believe you need to register EVERYTHING with the US Copyright Office. ๐Ÿ™„

When in reality, the steps are simple.

You have more on your side than you think: like common law protection. And one specific string of legal words Iโ€™ll teach you if youโ€™re up for it. ๐Ÿ˜€

Here’s what you’ll learn in my free copycats workshop:

  • a step-by-step process to document theft the moment you notice so you donโ€™t accidentally lose your rights (this is typically the most important step and the one people miss when they’re too busy DM’ing someone about copying them)
  • 2 courses of action to make your copycat take stolen content down asap (without needing to hire some lawyer to send a โ€œcease and desistโ€ โ€” unless you want to! Iโ€™ll show you the best way how) 
  • The exact message to send when you contact your copycat so you can get your content taken down
  • Alternative routes to rescue your content or product, even if the copycats doesn’t comply or respond
  • The sliding scale between mimicry and โ€œhmm this is a little too closeโ€ to โ†’ flat out intellectual theft
  • How to ensure YOU arenโ€™t a copycat by accident ๐Ÿ˜…
