MYOWS - a Tool To Protect Your Intellectual Property

The internet has leveled the playing field in many ways - the barriers to entry are nearly non-existent, allowing anyone with a computer and a thought to find an audience. There are a lot of good things about this but of course, there are some precautions that you need to take to protect those thoughts.

I read this review of MYOWS (My Original Works) on Freelance Switch and decided to check it out.

It only took a couple of minutes to set up a free account that gives me 500MB of space. I’m not sure if/when I’ll need more but we’ll see. MYOWS is in the Beta Testing phase is offering accounts with 500 MB of space for free. They will likely charge at some point but say these accounts will remain free.

There is a very good video, about 2 minutes long, that gave an excellent introduction and overview. I haven’t used MYOWS much yet but that’s more because I now need to create a new habit/system to do it. That’s not reflection on MYOWS at all. It’s easy to submit text and images, I just need to remember to do it. They are apparently developing a Word Press Plug in and I’ll be very excited to see that! Could make life so much simpler and I’m all for that!

In addition to their services, there is some very good information on their blog and a forum, too - excellent information even if you don’t sign up for an account.

I’m looking forward to using MYOWS more and encourage you to check it out if you are publishing your own work. You might also want to pass this along to your clients as a possible resource for them. Good advice and possibly a service they would like you to perform for them.

Now go on - make yourself indispensable!
