The challenge for a blabber mouth like me is to know when to shut up and like you say, link back to my website.

I’m glad you brought this up.

I would never give them the right to use your “primary” content. What I see them best used for is as a webinar…which generally is when you share content, but you also have “backend” offers.

And that you insert your website address in it regularly. So if they were to republish, you benefit.

“Ustream.tv does not claim ownership rights in your User Submissions.

Does that give you pause? It did for me, after assigning the rights for my two books to McGraw-Hill and just starting to develop an info business that I own – how would you recommend usin Ustream?

Or is it simply a matter of being careful what you reveal when broadcasting using it?

I know this there is no perfect situation but it does make me wonder how to best use it. Perhaps only as a promotional tool?

I did notice that they allow you to create private area that people would need a password to enter.

Just thinking things through before I use them. Interested in your perspective. Thanks in advance.
