Curation & Content Sharing Policy

At DIY Prodigy: 57 Projects to Profit — We Share to Inspire, Not Compete

At DIY Prodigy: 57 Projects to Profit, we deeply value quality content—and we’re committed to bringing the best of it to our readers.

In that spirit, we occasionally curate or excerpt content from top-tier sources across the web. Why? Because the internet was built on sharing, linking, and recommending great ideas. Our goal is to spotlight high-quality, relevant content that complements our mission and adds value to our community.

Why We Curate

Curation, at its core, is about recognizing and amplifying well-crafted content. When we choose to feature your work, it means:

  • We found your content valuable, inspiring, or educational
  • We want to share it with our readers in a meaningful way
  • We believe your work deserves more visibility

Every time we curate, we include a direct backlink to your original article or page—encouraging our visitors to click through and experience the full content in its original context. We don’t just excerpt—we promote, support, and recommend.

What You Can Expect from Us

Our curation practices are built around fairness, transparency, and respect. Here's how we do it:

  • Clear Attribution – We always credit you as the original source

  • Direct Linking – We include a prominent link back to your original article

  • Minimal Excerpting – We excerpt just enough to inform, and invite our readers to learn more on your site

  • Added Value – We often include commentary, insights, or context to enrich the curated piece

Our intention is to send targeted traffic and new readers your way—introducing your work to an audience that’s eager to learn and engage.

“Elated Use” – Our Higher Standard

While many websites rely solely on the basic legal standards of "Fair Use," we strive for something greater—we call it "Elated Use." Our goal is not just to stay compliant, but to make content creators thrilled to be featured.

If you’ve been curated by us, it’s because we genuinely admire your work.

But if for any reason you’d prefer we not share your content, we absolutely respect that. Simply contact us using our [Contact Form] and we’ll remove the excerpt promptly. No questions asked—and we’ll also ensure we don’t feature your content again in the future.

A Word to Fellow Publishers & Creators

We encourage others to share our content the same way we share yours:

  • Feel free to excerpt generously if you find our work valuable

  • Just credit us clearly, include a link back to the original article, and encourage your readers to explore the full content on our site

  • Share responsibly, and with integrity—that’s what builds trust, community, and lasting value online

Evolving Together

We understand that curation practices are still evolving across the digital landscape. If you feel we’ve missed the mark—whether that means too much was excerpted, or you'd like even more visibility or links—please let us know. We’re open to feedback and ready to adjust.

We also publish user-generated content, and while we encourage all contributors to follow these guidelines, we can’t monitor every single post. If something slips through, kindly flag it—and we’ll handle it quickly and respectfully.

For Copyright Holders

If you're a copyright holder and believe your work has been used in a way that violates your rights, we take such concerns seriously. Please visit our [DMCA Takedown Policy] for full details on how to submit a removal request.

Thank you for being part of a creative and collaborative internet.

Together, we can celebrate original work, honor creativity, and support one another in building something bigger than ourselves—a shared space where ideas thrive.
