14. Control vs. propagation 14
"Which path is right for you? It depends on your objective.
Educational content is meant to be shared and an All
Rights Reserved license is going to reduce your reach. If
you need to retain full control over your content in the
hopes of getting paid, that’s OK. But don’t pin this to
false hope. You’re not going to get paid unless you’ve built
up sufficient authority. The more you restrict your
content, the more you reduce your chances of building
authority.”
