Growing your Instagram following can be tricky business. If you've ever struggled with your IG account, you know my guest is an expert on the platform: Jasmine Star!

Jasmine is a law school dropout, turned photographer, turned business strategist, who has transitioned from offering 1:1 services, to digital courses, to now a membership model to help business owners grow their social media reach.

In this episode, she's dishing on some lessons she learned the hard way, sharing a couple of embarrassing stories she's NEVER told before, and continuing to be an all-around inspiration.

In this episode, we'll cover:

  • Jasmine's challenges in transitioning from selling online courses to a membership or subscription model
  • How Jasmine overcame finding out the domain she wanted was already owned by someone else
  • What a "side hustle clause" means, and why you might want to include it in your employment or independent contractor agreements
  • A few alternatives to consider if you need a contract but can't afford to hire a lawyer to create one from scratch

Our Legal Road Map® to Protect Your Online Course contract template bundle can help you lock down your course content in the time it takes you to catch a few episodes of your latest Netflix binge.
