Yes, in the everyday scheme of things, it’s only a website.

But if you are a prolific and original creator, there’s more. It’s a representation of your heart and artistry. It’s your intellectual property.

To protect it by using applicable trademarks, copy protection, and retaining wise counsel—critical.

Don’t wait.

Additionally, before putting anything up on your site, consider what you want your legacy to be. Honorable? Then make sure all aspects of your offerings (yes, including the downloads) are original (not watered-down versions of others’ sacred work).

Attribute your sources. Honor your mentors. And remember—there is power in a name.
