Protect Your Intellectual Property

As part of your personal branding efforts it is a good idea to write articles about topics that support your career strengths, and to post them on online article banks.

When you have written an article it is very thrilling to find that others have reprinted it on their websites and blogs and in their newsletters, especially when you see that your article has been translated. When you add your articles to article banks, people are welcome to do this, however there is a rule, they must also reprint the ‘authors bio’ box in full too.

Do, be sure to check once in a while to make sure your intellectual property is not being stolen. Simply drop in the URL of the page your article is published on into the tool on this page: http://www.plagiarismchecker.com/url and any and all reprints will come up.

The effects were even worse than they had suspected, “48% intentionally decreased work effort, 47% intentionally decreased time at work, 38% decreased work quality, 80% lost work time worrying about an incident, 63% lost time avoiding the offender, 66% said their performance declined, and 78% said that their commitment to the organization declined”…
