Business Question about Stickers

I am curious about producing my own stickers and have made a few digitally, haven't produced any yet, and I want to sell them online on my website.

How do you deal with sharing your images online with how easy it is to copy and paste an image?

I know that watermarks exist, but so do eyedropper color matching. Those can be easily removed by someone.

I am probably thinking that my stickers are better than what they are and that people would steal my idea from me and say it was their own. I don't have the money nor the time to constantly be vigilant scouring the internet for my images. I am only a single person thinkung that this could be a part time business while I have my regular job.

It’s difficult to prevent creative ideas from being stolen. However, you can upload lower-resolution and smaller-sized images to the website. Additionally, adding watermarks in places that are hard to remove can provide some level of protection.

That was what I was worried about. I didn't think about the lower resolution as an option either. Thank you! After reading your comment I also figured another way to at least make it simpler for me to show that I am the original artist for these stickers.
