Plagiarism issues – revenue sharing sites
Posted by KristiJan 8
Here’s the thing. Even with these residual income sites, you absolutely have no control over whether or not someone is going to plagiarize your material and then claim it as their own. In fact, certain sites even have plagiarism software in place that ‘cleverly detects” plagiarism that is on the ‘net and then removes your article and you then have to prove that you actually wrote it.
This is quite frustrating for writers and basically forcing us to “prove our innocence” when we’ve done nothing wrong. I know of at least one case where the entire library of a revenue sharing site was copied and many writers had to prove their innocence. Eventually the site was taken down but this just proves how easy it is for writers to get their work stolen and punished for something that was absolutely beyond their control.
This is why I strongly suggest all of you to do the following:
-
Back up any articles that you write so that you maintain copies of them. You never know when your work will get flagged.
-
Use multiple streams of income. Don’t rely on one revenue sharing site for all your income. Instead use various types of revenue sharing sites so that you can diversify your income.
-
Understand that this stuff happens but be ready to fight back. You shouldn’t be forced to rewrite an article when you’ve done nothing wrong. Just be ready to prove that you wrote it when questioned.
-
Be cooperative and patient. You are not being taken advantage of directly. Although it feels like you’re being picked on, you’re not. We’re all in the same boat here. Just cooperate with the appropriate person, state your best and trust that everything will work out in the end.
