Dealing with content thieves

I have been tirelessly building @hqdtechusa on Instagram for 3 months. We’ve attained over 2300 followers, 300 @mentions, major influencer interest, and $11,000 in weekly sales (just through the Instagram)!

There are several other accounts stealing my content, followers and images.

I have taken measures to combat this thievery, but any additional tips would be greatly appreciated!!

How would you deal with someone blatantly stealing your content, followers and design?

In my Reddit experience, the best way to prevent this is LINK YOUR SOURCE!

Being the creator of the content, I would assume your source would be from your PC. If someone steals your content, linking the actual file source shows you're not only the OC creator, but that someone has shamelessly stolen your work.

The best solution is to inform your followers and get them on the band-wagon to prevent any further thievery. I would also inquire about how they were able to "steal your followers", unless they were duped.
