Content creators and influencers often face legal issues that can be difficult to navigate. To help streamline the process and ensure that all of your activities are compliant with the law, here are a few legal tips for influencers and content creators.

A disclaimer is a statement or statements that limit your business’s liability in the event of a dispute. And while there is some inherent risk in being a business owner, you should not be taking on any more risk than you have to—especially legal risk!

Making money while you sleep may sound like a dream, but for many business owners, making passive income is their reality. One of the best ways to do it is by creating digital products.

But before you run to start creating your own profitable digital products, make sure you do it legally. There are three main ways to legally protect digital products (and your business): when you are launching it, by using trademarks, after you created it, with copyright, and while you are selling it, by using digital product terms and conditions.

Lawyers help think of all the what-if scenarios and additional terms or language that have to be added into contracts, so if you are DIY-ing your own contract, downloading a free one from Google, copying your coach’s contract, or not using a client contract at all, you could be seriously risking your entire business.

Contracts are one of the most important priorities for any business owner. What types of contracts you’ll use, how often, and when to use them depends on what type of business you have. But one thing is certain: all business owners need written, lawyer-drafted contracts to protect themselves.
