a word about copycat sites

Just posting a quick response in regards to all the copycat sites I see springing up here. You know the ones I bet. They have a name similar to sup.biz and even have similar layouts. But that's where the similarities end.

As you know from my previous posts I owe a large part of my current success to this network because of all the really cool people that belong here. Getting the chance to meet so many cool and amazing people has been a blast. The money I earn along the way has been great too! But I am dead set against joining any network that is a dead copy of another one.

Why so?

Mostly because anyone who creates a copy cat network is straight up cheating and cheaters attract other cheaters. Remember that like always attracts like. Quite frankly I have no desire to join a network consisting of such people.

That's why I contribute so much time to building this network. I suggest anyone wanting to build a successful business do the same.

That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it!

Regards.

I don't worry about it, I join where I feel I need to and don't join where I don't feel I shouldn't. I am looking forward to learning on this site and making great friends.

As one who has worked in the business world for some time, you should turn the negative into a positive. Meaning, you obviously have something worth copying and I would take it as a compliment. As long as you continue to do what you do, the way you do it, all will be fine. When you start messing with the legalese of the internet world, then certainly that would cause concern. Just think about this... In the music world, there are no real originals anymore (hasn't been for some time). We have all head songs that remind you of another song we heard back in the day. It's called dissecting music to create your own sound which legally within four measures you are allowed to copy, sample or whatever you want to call it. Artists have had to deal with that from the beginning of time.

Continue to contribute and fulfill your dream. You are your own original... continue building and continue to stick to it!; ▶ Reply to This

I've certainly heard of people actually duplicating someone else's work, but have never experienced it before. It leads me now to be diligent about my own site and content. The other thing one has to be careful about also is PLR material. The thing with PLR you must be able to rewrite in order to make it original, but unfortunately, some people just don't have the time, skill or patience to do such.

I look forward to being a member of sta.rtup.biz.; ▶ Reply to This

I just read your discussion you know your so right about copy cats!!! but one thing I have to say your wrong about is, if there wasnt a such thing as people duplicating the game would be boring. Take one second and think about it, if you didnt have some of the same flavors duplicated how would you come up with something different? Let me explain, (Example) Hip Hop! Every rapper wants to sound different from the other, they all have their own style and they all try to say things different, Right?? Really when it comes down to it they need eachothers flavor in order to create a new flavor!!!If they dont mirror the next man it might cause them to fail in the next plan...Completely stop doing what you do Matt and dont listen for the new ideas on the market and see how behind in the game you become. And when you do get on top, you can guarantee you didnt only use your ideas to get there. I dont condone being a copy cat, but I will say every idea that you come up with has already been thought of by someone else before you, your not the first! And if you are the first, your just the first to put the idea on the market. Everybodies a copy cat! Even you Matt, where did you get the idea of being a internet king? You had to copy somethig or someone else to get this far, if I were you and somebody copied my network that would make me proud cuz that means I must be doing something right cuz everybody wants to be like me! Walt ~Market Your Motors~ Ps check all 7 of my networks out, I make good $$$ I cant complain if someone copies my ideas thats what new ideas are for.; ▶ Reply to This
