What’s the smartest action to take when a copycat strikes?

Learn to confidently assess when going after your copycat is worth the mental, emotional, and financial investment…and which action gives you the best chance of success!

No one wants to deal with a copycat. But at some point, you’ll have one.

It might be another small business, that’s new and just doesn’t understand.

It might be a HUGE corporation, whose primary business model is ripping off indie artists to make a quick buck.

No matter who it is or how it happens, it’s enough to send you into a rage spiral.

But once you finally start thinking clearly, you have to know when going after your copycat is worth the investment and which route has the highest likelihood of success.

 

Tools for adding ease to the legalese

The heart of the artist’s Courtyard is our Legal Library.

The Legal Library is like having a legal guide at your fingertips. It gives you the tools and resources you need to understand, and more importantly, take action on legal aspects of your business.

Inside you’ll find:

  • in-depth courses on things like registering copyrights or creating an LLC
  • deep-dive workshops on topics like dealing with copycats or hiring team members
  • contract templates including a client contract, consignment agreement, and licensing agreement
  • quick dip resources on topics like trademark, copyrighting patterns, and keeping your address private.

The Legal Library is your creative business’ go-to legal toolbox for building a legally protected business—and it’s only available to members of the artist’s Courtyard.

30 Day No Questions Asked Refund Policy

Hype and promises abound on the Internet. And if I were in your shoes, I’d be wary too.

Which is why I’m going to put a little skin in the game.

If within the first 30 days, you decide that the artist’s Courtyard isn’t the right place to help you build a strong foundation, I’ll refund your payment.

No hoops to jump through, no worksheets to submit, no screenshots of how you participated. You just need to let me know and I’ll refund you, without any fuss.

What formats are the materials in?

The workshop materials are a mix of closed-captioned video and text.

And as a bonus, within workshop materials, you’ll have the ability to leave any questions so you can get additional support from Kiffanie!

Which option should I pick?

If you don’t live in the U.S., you should pick one of the one-time payment options! And that’s because all of the additional resources and guidance you’ll get with the yearly option is focused on U.S. law and won’t help your business.

If you are based in the U.S., then you can pick any of the options! The one-time payment options are designed for those that don’t like monthly subscriptions, only have the bandwidth to focus on this specific topic, or already have an attorney helping them with other areas of their creative business.

What’s included in my membership in the artist’s Courtyard?

Can I cancel my membership to the artist’s Courtyard at any time?

Yep! No contracts or commitments here. You can cancel at any time with just a single click from your member profile page. If you email Kiffanie to cancel within the first 30 days, you’ll get a full refund. However, if you cancel after 30 days, you won’t receive a pro-rated refund. (You can read our full refund policy and when refunds are issued here.)
