    Question 1 - Any tips on how to prevent other people or AI copying/stealing your designs? Can you make a video for that?
    Question 2 - Do you hold onto the designs and wait till you have 20-40 designs before uploading them?

    The thing about Canva is that you are allowed to use the design images, even if they are copyrighted, as long as you combine it with other things. I don't know about templates, since I don't use those, but the individual images are allowed so long as you don't just slap one image on the page and call it good.

    Hi Gregg, I just saw your 2024 tutorial, it was amazing. Thank you so much for your time, advice, and generosity in sharing your knowledge. I have a question about ensuring the original text I right is protected. If I have a good phrase/text idea I am worried about being copied, should I first get it copyrighted/trademarked, or does posting it alone give me any protection? I live in canada. Thank you again so much for your advice:)

    Your advice about not using AI is definitely wise if you're using the ones that knock off and steal, scrape the internet but they're big big names out there doing it. But if you use Adobe Photoshop generative AI or Adobe Firefly, that should certainly not be a problem.
    Since all of their computers are trained on their own images that they own or they license the rights to.

    • @GregGottfried
      @GregGottfried  4 місяці тому +1

      I would recommend just being aware of active vs passive print on demand. The main thing is using printify you will have to do your own advertising to bring buyers. Here's a good video explaining this in more detail: ua-cam.com/video/f27fhxJ7b10/v-deo.html Hope that helps and I'm here if you run into any questions!

This allows me to share the really valuable bits of info about the business that most sellers don't want to 'give away'. Hope that makes sense and helps answer your question!
