When you provide plenty of detailed information about each of the notes or educational materials you upload for sale, it helps prospective buyers make an informed decision about whether or not your product is the right fit for them. Not only can your detailed description lead to increased sales now, but it can also lead to having fully satisfied buyers who will continue to purchase your notes in the future. Some of the information we recommend that you put in the description for all your notes include:
• The course number and full subject name in the title
• The course topics each set of notes covers
• How your notes helped you become more proficient in a subject area
• The ways in which other students or educators can use your notes to further their own studies

In order for your notes to be accepted and listed for sale on NotesVilla, they must meet our standard guidelines. This helps both sellers and buyers verify that each set of notes or educational materials meets certain quality standards before they’re available for purchase. So, anytime you upload a new set of notes to our platform, our team will then review them fully, accepting notes that meet our standard guidelines and rejecting notes that do not meet our standard guidelines.
To make the process easy for you, we’ve developed a list of dos and don'ts for each item you choose to upload to NotesVilla:
Do:
● Type up your handwritten notes in a digital form (e.g., Microsoft Word). This makes it
easier for our team to review them and for our users to read them.
● All notes should be typed up in your own words.
● Use images, pictures and colours that should make your notes more exciting and draw more users.
Don’t:
● Submit copied portions or sentences of books or journals and present them as notes.
● Submit notes with your abbreviations because our team and users will be unable to
scatter them. Take the time to search for the code you used when typing notes.
● Submit course materials that are rewritten or typed for cleanliness.
● Submit course materials provided by the lecturer, university or academia.
● Submit notes that cross-reference or include information from others or our competitors.
No one takes perfect, organized notes every single time they’re in class because there’s just too much information being shared and too many distracting things going on around you at any given time.
That’s why we provide the following tips for tidying up your messy notes before you upload them for sale on NotesVilla:
● Type up your notes at the end of the course and check with the instructor to make sure you have understood the course material fully.
● Use number items 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 in the main areas of your notes.
● Highlight the sections of your notes in different colours to make them stand out.
● Emphasize any headlines and leave spaces.
● Try to separate the page between sections.
● Structure your notes and include the sources of information used (be specific with the links of the authors, page references, etc.)
● Use bolded BLOCK CAPITALS or highlight the keywords and terms.
No. Any notes or course materials you upload on NotesVilla must be typed up and in your own words. Lecture notes or any other type of course document provided to you by someone else, such as a professor, lecturer, student, or the university itself, is considered to be the intellectual property of the person or organization who created it. Therefore, uploading lecture notes given to you in class by someone else is considered plagiarism.
No. Unfortunately, uploading tests or solutions to problems submitted in class can encourage both plagiarism and cheating. NotesVilla was started in order to help students and educators work together to achieve better results in higher education classes, so we only accept notes and course materials you have personally created.
No. Remaining anonymous as a seller is not in your best interest. Buyers come to our platform to find the best notes available, so your credentials matter. Be sure to update your profile with your education and career experience as well as any areas of speciality you may have in order to build trust with potential buyers.
You don’t have to maintain certain grades to sell your notes online. However, we do review and verify any notes you upload before listing them for purchase. So make sure that you only upload notes that are high-quality, typed in a digital format, and contain verifiable content that will help others in higher education.
Definitely! Having the most up-to-date notes available benefits everyone who uses our platform. We encourage you to continue taking detailed notes and uploading them while you’re enrolled in courses. Doing so helps other students around the world, and it can help you make extra money.

Absolutely! The notes you take in your own words are your intellectual property.

So, it’s perfectly legal to see your notes in order to help others learn from your unique perspective. In fact, it’s just like meeting for a study group, except this time, you’re collaborating with people from around the world.
A Copyright Claim means that someone—either a person, a company, or a large organization—believes that you are publishing material that actually contains their intellectual property. For example, if you upload notes where you’ve reprinted someone else’s words without the proper citation, you may be breaching copyright. Doing so puts you at risk because then the individual or business can make an allegation against you, stating that you are breaking the law.
If you receive a copyright claim against any of the notes you’ve uploaded to our platform, NotesVilla will deal with the claim for you. If we determine that you have, in fact, violated copyright laws, we will remove the notes in question and label those notes as removed due to a copyright violation in the “Notes” section of your profile. If you continue to violate copyright laws, we will remove you from our platform entirely.
Following these procedures does help our sellers avoid complex legal proceedings and fines. However, we do urge you not to violate copyright laws intentionally nor to reupload notes after they’ve already been removed due to a copyright violation
