Question: I’m concerned that if I start writing articles or blogging on my topic before my product is ready to launch, someone could steal my information and copy me before I have everything copyrighted. How can I build a list without getting ripped off.

Answer: I’ve actually had this come up in conversation twice this week besides your question. And both times it surprised me because I haven’t heard anyone talk about being ripped off for several years.
I think the main reason most people don’t have this fear anymore is speed to market. Meaning that by the time you start putting pieces out there, you’re far enough ahead that nobody is going to get it out before you.
You have to accept the fact that at the same time you’re creating your product, there could be 12 other people who saw the same space in the market and felt they could fill it.
There is an old saying, “Money loves speed.” It’s true. The person who gets the product to market the fastest stands the best shot, but they aren’t always the winner.
Someone who isn’t you is never going to be as successful telling your story as you are. Unless you give them a long lead time.
So if you are half done with your project and you start sharing little pieces as blog posts or articles, you have little to worry about. How is someone going to steal your process or system or theories if you’re only doing a 200 word post or a 5 minute video or a 750 word article?
Fear of loss is not an abundant way of being in your business or your life. People can always try to steal your ideas, even if they are copyrighted it can be changed just enough to be legal. So don’t approach it from that space. Share openly knowing that what you have is uniquely you and you can’t be stolen or duplicated.
Other people can do products on the same topic, but they will all be different from yours. Don’t let this fear rule your business and prevent you from building a list that will build your financial future.
