AFAIK you simply have to be able to establish that you originated the work.
With written material, a suggestion which I have received was to send a
copy of the work to yourself by registered mail so that an "official" date
is established. A cheaper and possibly less legally watertight method would
be to send a copy to someone you trust and ask them to make sure they keep
it. You then have some sort of corroboration to your claim from another
party.

You would not have to send it certified, saving those postal fees. Just send
it to yourself regular mail, but DON'T OPEN IT. If you ever need it, the
contents can be proven with the postmark in an unopened and sealed state
