Many questions about internet marketing softwares and tricks

7 replies
Hi I am kind of lost here when I stumble upon a few problems so I kindly need your help, warriors!

My problems are:
1) How are copyright disclaimers done? I heard that anyone is able to put their work under copyrights with a (c) logo along with the name, is that true? How does this even work to protect your product? So for instance, if a person is found violating against my intellectual property, Can I take legal action?
2) What is the best ebook cover software that you use? I only heard of Photoshop so far but is there other options that I can try?

    1) That will depend on what software you will use to make your ebook, so there is no general answer to that.

    2) Not to be rude but you could find an answer to this by searching on Google for 3 minutes

    Just one example and you can find millions more if you type something like "popup on exit" into Google.

    1. As already said that will depend on what software you use. I'm using Microsoft Word, and here is how I do that. Go to "Insert" tab, and there you will see "header" and "footer" of document. That's where you make that "effect".

    2. I found you a simple tutorial on how to do it, click HERE to view it.

    About your signature, You just type your text in the square box of the edit signature. You also make top and bottom lines for it by computer keyboard. Then you choose which part you want to link: Highlight it + click the link icon+ type your URL+ Submit. If you have many parts that you want to link, go head to do the same way of the 1 st one. Then, review it, finally, save signature.
    About leaving an exit massage, you have to use a service of the autoresponder of a company such as Aweber, Google...
    Cheer,

    If you are an affiliate of a company to promote their product, I think the company give you a right to do it. If you are not, I think you cannot do it. But I am not sure for that, and even the law of your country is different with my country.
    For the best ebook, I think Photoshop is good.

      With regards to the copyright question, here's an article I wrote about this that might be helpful. It's about ebook copyright, but the same basic principles apply...

      ---------------------------------

      How to Prevent Theft of Your Ebooks
      Part 1: Ebook Copyright

      While the majority of web users are honest people, you
      must accept that some people WILL try their best to
      steal your products.

      For this reason, it's important that you take some measures to
      ensure that your product isn't being illegally copied and/or
      distributed.

      In this article (the first of two on this subject) I'll look at
      the issue of copyright protection.

      In part two I'll be looking at practical measures you can
      take to prevent people from accessing your download
      pages or passing your ebook on to others


      ESTABLISHING YOUR COPYRIGHT

      This information is intended to act as an introduction to the
      concept of copyright. Please be aware that I'm not a legal
      expert. If you've any doubts regarding copyright then you should
      seek legal advice.

      Copyright is the name given to the protection of your 'right to
      copy' a published work.

      When you own the copyright to a work, you've the right to
      reproduce any number of copies of that work in any way you
      choose. You can also grant copy rights to others.

      Once you create a published work, your copyright to that work
      applies automatically. You do not need to formally register your
      copyright in order for your copyright of that work to legally
      exist. In fact, you do not even need to place a copyright
      statement on the work.

      Having said that, it's still a good idea to formally register
      your copyright.

      In the event that someone has stolen you work, having registered
      your copyright may entitle you to claim for compensation from the
      offender. If you haven't formally registered the work, then legally
      seeking compensation can be much more difficult.

      For a closer examination of this important point, and others,
      read the articles available on the ClickAndCopyright website.

      THE MINIMUM YOU SHOULD DO

      If you are hesitant about paying fees to register your copyright,
      then there are still other measures you can take to make sure
      that the world knows who owns your work (you should follow these
      steps EVEN if you DO register copyright).

      You should include your copyright statement at the bottom of
      every page of your book (and your website and everything else
      you create).

      Including a copyright statement is no guarantee that your work
      will not be stolen. It's also no assurance that you'll be able
      to recover royalties or loss of earnings from someone who
      infringes your copyright.

      However, it stamps the work as being yours. It makes it clear to
      those who might be tempted to copy it, that they don't have that
      right.

      Example of a copyright statement...

      Copyright © 2009 Your Name (or company name).
      All rights reserved worldwide.
      No part of this ebook may be copied or sold.

      Note: Some people use (c) (the letter 'c' in brackets) instead
      of the official copyright symbol © (the letter 'c' surrounded by
      a circle). In many countries the law does not recognize this as
      a copyright symbol and it's not a given that a court will accept
      it as valid. You should ALWAYS write the word 'Copyright' in
      FULL as part of your copyright statement and you should use the
      official copyright symbol.

      You should also include a copyright page in your ebook. Take a look
      at the copyright information in any ebook (or paper book) for ideas
      on what you should include on this page.

      Another idea that may be useful - in a legal sense - is to print
      out a copy of your ebook on paper and save a copy on to a
      CD-ROM, USB key or other storage device.

      Place both the paper version and the CD-ROM in an envelope and
      mail it to yourself via REGISTERED mail. Hold on to the receipt for
      the mail and when the package arrives to your home, put it away in
      a SAFE place (together with the receipt) WITHOUT opening it.

      This is proof that you had the document in your possession at
      the date of the mailing. If you do this before your ebook goes
      'live' then you're sure that nobody can have copied your work
      before this date.

      Here are a few websites where you can learn more about copyright
      issues...

      -The Publishing Law Center: Publishing Law Center | legal information for the publishing community
      -The Copyright Website: Copyright Website

      Okay, I hope that this has helped you understand the question of
      copyright a little better. In the next article, I'll continue on
      the question of ebook protection by looking at practical
      measures you can put in place to prevent people from stealing
      your ebook from your website.

      I hope that helps.
