Content theft can be devastating. It's not just your hard work compromised, it's the emotional toll it takes. If you've lost your mojo due to internet piracy we are here to help you get it back and be unstoppable!
You put your and soul into creating something amazing for your fans. To then have it taken and misused, can be a brutal violation.
Creators have poured their hearts out to us about how this makes them feel - stressed, anxious, frustrated and often disillusioned. These feelings often result in reluctance to continue creating.
You are the creator of your amazing content. The pirates might try to steal your work, but they can't take away your talent! You can beat them, so keep going!
Safeguard Your Content
Tightening things up to protect your content will help you to start rebuilding your confidence in the practical sense. Here are some actionable techniques that can help keep your work more secure:
1. Watermark Your Images
A straightforward way to deter pirates from stealing your images is by adding a watermark. This could be a copyright symbol alongside your name or website URL. Some sites automatically watermark content with the site name, so check this out with the platform you're on to make sure they're doing all they can to safeguard your assets from a network point of view. By making your ownership clear, along with the originating site that's hosting it, you will discourage misuse of that content.
2. Disable Right-Click Saving
For those with their website or blog where they host their own content - disable the right-click function and save function. This can serve as a barrier against casual theft of images. Popular content creator and webcamming platforms have plugins that make this process simple and effective so check out how your content hosting site handles this. As them how you can stop potential thieves from right-click saving your content.
3. Monitor Your Content
Tools such as Google Alerts (you need a Google account for this) can help you track when your content appears elsewhere online. Being proactive about monitoring can help you become aware if you're being targeted by content thieves, so appropriate actions can be taken swiftly to tackle the issue.
Rebuild Your Confidence
Here are some mindset-based strategies to help reignite your creative spirit and get your mojo back:
1. Reflect on Your Why
Take the time to think about why you started creating content in the first place. Was it the joy of expressing yourself or a desire to share your body and charms with your fans? Maybe it was a combination of both. Maybe it was a money motive. Remembering your core motivations can help reignite your passion.
2. Collaborate with Others
If you've suffered a setback due to internet piracy, now is a great time to reach out to fellow creators for collaboration and a friendly pick-me-up. Whether it’s exchanging ideas or working on joint projects, collaborating can offer encouragement and fresh insights into your creative work, along with helping you to feel supported and like you're not alone.
3. Set Manageable Projects
Set small, manageable creative projects that can help boost your confidence gradually with each one you achieve. This approach creates a series of creative wins that can keep you motivated to keep going doing the things you love... to the point where you become unstoppable!
Tips For Developing Resilience
Developing resilience in challenging circumstances will help you work towards getting your mojo back as a Creator.
1. Practice Self-Care
Ensure you prioritize your well-being, both physically and mentally. Engage in activities that bring you joy, whether that’s exercise or indulging in a favourite hobby every week. Focussing on self care helps the mind to feel revitalised and more focussed, better equipped to handle stress.
2. Join Support Groups
Seek out online forums for content Creators. Sharing your thoughts on the issue of internet piracy with others will help ease the burden and enable you to feel less isolated. Gaining a sense of connection and support in itself is motivation. Others who have been in the same boat and suffered the same problems with piracy will empathise with your situation and often share their coping strategies.
3. Educate Yourself
Knowledge is power... Take time to learn about your digital rights and any current trends in respect of intellectual protection in your industry. Becoming informed will enhance your ability to stay strong and keep working on bringing back your mojo.
We hope our tips help you find that sense of renewal to embrace your creativity boldly. We are rooting for you to fuel that inner fire and reclaim your unstoppable spirit as a content creator! You're fully capable of this journey and the pirates will not win!
