<ul>
<li>Steps you can take to reduce infringement of your work.</li>
<li>Licensing strategies to let others use your content in a way that will work for you.</li>
<li>Tracking tools for monitoring text and images on the Web.</li>
<li>How to track down an infringer.</li>
<li>How to get them to stop, without using an attorney.</li>
</ul>
<p>Jonathan is going to share with us the techniques and strategies he has used to stop over 700 plagiarists of his own work and show you how to reduce the time it takes to handle a case of plagiarism to under 15 minutes. This is going to be a very interesting, practical and informative session. Everyone is welcome so be sure and spread the word.

Do you worry you won&#8217;t earn enough, but you find yourself giving away free time and discounting your services in other ways? Author Mikelann Valterra, directory of the Women&#8217;s Earning Institute, focuses on empowering women to earn their worth—even in a down economy.</p>
<p>In this powerful teleclass, Mikelann explores the psychology of why even successful business women undersell themselves and what to do about it. Women who &#8220;underearn&#8221; deal with complex emotional issues around making money. Mikelann will look at the emotional and financial cost of discounting yourself and your services, and the message you convey when you suppress your fees. She will talk about how to protect your time as well as what people really want to buy from you. She will also explore the hard notion that not everyone should be able to afford you and how this translates when the economy is down. Lastly, she&#8217;ll discuss ways to feel great charging your full fee.</p>
<p>Learn:</p>
<ul>
<li>How and why women under-price themselves;</li>
<li>How getting in touch with &#8220;resentment&#8221; can make you more money;</li>
<li>How to avoid discounting yourself;</li>
<li>How to protect your time;</li>
<li>How to charge your full fee and feel great about it!</li>
</ul>
<p>&#8230; and much, much more!</p>
