Excellent reasoning via The Brooks Review.

Own Your Own

Exactly.

Own Your Own

The long form? In the dark recesses of my own history, I was encouraged to let my own website go, when it was one step away from backend server at UT, on the nascent Word Wide Web. I opted to keep my own content, on its own server, a sub domain off a sub domain, and the pricing varied over the years, as did the severs, but for most near — long time now — I’ve used my own virtual server.

What this means? Intellectual right to my work belong solely to me. My writing is only owned by me. Copied, duplicated, anything, I still own the rights. The cost is negligible.

It’s just like a book. My love of the home-grown chain of used bookstores, Half-Price Books, is already noted. How that works?

As an author, the money is on the front end. I get paid when the book is sold. Simple as that. After that? Out of my control.

However, before that? Still in my control. Why someone would build a business based on just a social media platform, did you read the fineprint? The platform doesn’t matter; ownership of content does matter.

For example… how to be a full-time blogger

While the true nature of “ownership of the content” can be disputed, all it needs is that launch point. A single point of origin. Why anyone would start anyplace defies logic.

To me, anyway.

Should read, “Defies logic to me.“
