Am I making copyrighting more complicated than I need to?

[Brian Knox]

Hey Team!

Say, hypothetically, that you were considering starting a blog because there was a topic (real estate or otherwise) you had a little knowledge on. And you had a mildly catchy name for the domain name and the content...

Are there specific legal steps to go through to make sure your stuff doesn't get copied?

Or can you just do the whole "Copyright etc etc etc" at the end of the blog post?

In other words, if I start doing the work of coming up with a certain concept and putting out helpful content on it, how do I ensure somebody doesn't quickly grab the concept and go grow it for themselves (potentially quicker than I can do it myself)?

I appreciate any insight you may have!
