Hello In the past I have created products for Clickbank which have been the first in the market and very original. Unfortunately they were followed by copycats who made very similiar websites with very similiar designs and had very similiar products. I intend to launch some very original products soon that will we first in the market, however I'm afraid some scumym people will copy my products after the launch and sell their own version. How can i prevent this?
You can't. All you can protect are your own trademarks and your own copyrights. You can't protect from people copying the concept. This happens in almost every area of business. Once a company shows something is successful, unless it's based around something proprietary, then soon the competition will catch on and join the party. It's just business. Your job is to ensure your product is marketed better so that you maintain as much market share as possible.
You cannot prevent this completely as far as I know unless it is a software that is not easy to code. Any Ebook or Info product will be cloned no matter how hard you try. But you also have an advantage of securing as many affiliates as possible before everyone introduces copy cat products which I believe will take at least 2 weeks. Enlighten me if someone knows a way.
What you need to do is make this the best always stay on top of the copy cats and always make sure your product is 10 times better. Also on your website state that you are the first in the market etc original concept so more people are incline to trust those with much knowledge and who started it then those who know nothing about it and just rip it off.
