Thanks Dude.
Same to you.
You’ve caught my attention. I just have 1 problem. No.10 I don’t see you having a problem with copywriters’ infringement problems at your young age. First, You’ve already branded yourself. You have another 10,000 blogs, articles, videos, press releases, and the likes to whereas there is no one piece of your works that could take away from your talents. the problem with thieves is they can’t produce anything to follow up what they steal. A true publisher is not going to back a person who’s work is done with the single piece they’re given. There has to be more. A follow-up, a sequel, Stolen is one piece. You did this? let me see some of your other works. Your focus could be on let a major pick me up and publish my works. You’re just that talented. Many of us writers write in hopes to be published by other networks than the ones we publish to. When you write your first book then worry about copyrights. Till then, write with the intention that anyone can republish your works for you. When you want someone to do something, they won’t, when you don’t want them to do something they will. I’d be more than glad to pass on to my students some of your works. Hey Kid, You’ve got your Benz out here on the freeway, I’ve even looked at your dispatch. (Website). The only other thing I might consider, It’s OK for now but then again should you start networking now soon you will actually be teaching, training and coaching the very thing you are now, and won’t have time to worry about one, two, three, articles, blogs getting stolen, They won’t have your style! I’m following you kid. Keep in touch. When you come to America, look me up, I’ll do a seminar tour featuring you. If you haven’t seen my profile yet, my niche is Traffic. You’re driving just fine on the internet freeway. Don’t worry about others stealing your works.
The Brinks truck with your money in it won’t be the one leading their funeral procession.
