Yesterday afternoon, I delivered an order and, as usual, I posted the finished work on my WhatsApp status.
Not up to 10 minutes later, people started resharing it. And honestly, I appreciate that.
There is NOTHING wrong with resharing another person’s work. In fact, when you share my work, you might even be helping me reach a potential customer.
But then I saw something that made me pause. 😳
Someone reshared my work, removed my watermark, put her own business name on the picture, and was presenting the work to people as though SHE was the person who made it.
I immediately reached out to her and asked her to take it down.
Now, let me ask you
DID I DO WRONG BY ASKING HER TO REMOVE IT? 🤔
Because I honestly don’t understand this practice.
If you like someone’s work and you want to use it to attract customers, PLEASE share it. But why remove the person’s identity and replace it with yours?
There is a BIG difference between: “Look at this beautiful work I saw from ’s Confectionery.and Removing the original watermark, adding your own, and allowing people to believe you made it.
Please, let’s be honest with ourselves.
Don’t eat another person’s glory. 😔
You don’t know how much work, money, sleepless nights, practice, mistakes, disappointments and years of learning that person went through to get to the level you are admiring.
If you genuinely admire someone’s work, give them their flowers. 🌸
And if you are a business owner, ask yourself this:
If someone took your finished work, removed your name, put their own name on it and claimed it as theirs, how would you feel?
👇🏽 I WANT TO HEAR FROM BOTH SIDES.
Was I wrong for asking her to bring it down?
Or was I right to protect my work and my brand?
Let’s discuss this respectfully in the comments. 👇🏽
