There are various ways in which one can monetize creative works while protecting them under copyright laws. First, registration of the work with the Copyright Office is advisable, as it provides legal protection against unauthorized use. Next, one should establish a platform to share and promote their work. For stories and songs this can include websites such as Wattpad and SoundCloud where users can post works that are accessible for free or on a subscription basis. To further maximize income from their work, content creators can also sell merchandise associated with their products such as t-shirts or albums bearing images or lyrics from their respective works. Additionally, content creators can set up affiliate relationships with online retailers allowing them to make commission off product sales related to the content they have created.

In order to monetize your creative works and still protect them under copyright laws, it is best to mark them with a strong copyright symbol or legend like “copyright (c) 20
Copy” or similar. You may also register your creations with the Copyright Office as well as apply for permission from third parties when wanting to use the works of others. Additionally, if you post any of your work on-line ensure that it has Digital Rights Management (DRM), restrict file-sharing capability and add usage guidelines with links to any license agreements that govern how people are permitted to use or share the materials.
