Legal for course creators: FB ads (S4E102)

Author: Autumn Witt Boyd | Go-To Lawyer for Online Entrepreneurs September 2, 2019 Duration: 25:44

Learn how the legal health of your business can affect how you run Facebook or Instagram ads, or even if they're approved.

In this episode we'll cover:

  • Why you'll want to check out Facebook's ad policies before you start working on your ad images or copy
  • What FB checks out when you submit an ad for approval
  • How your site's privacy policy (or lack thereof) can affect your ad approval
  • What you need to know about intellectual property when it comes to FB ads
  • Things you may be required to disclose in connection with your FB ads

Key takeaway: A legal checkup before you run FB ads can mean the difference between a super successful campaign and lighting hundred dollar bills on fire.
