You've made the plans to take your business online, and decided on the basics we covered in part 1 of this series. Now what? 

Part of the beauty of starting an online business is that you can get up and running quickly, but there are still a few more things you need to tackle before you open your virtual doors.

In this episode, we'll cover:

  • How the terms and conditions on your website are different from your terms of use with your paying customers, plus why you'll want to use both, especially if you're a course creator
  • The simple wording to include on your marketing materials, downloadables, and branding to protect your copyrights and trademarks
  • The types of service providers that need to use a more robust contract, plus what should be included in this type of contract
  • E-signing contracts vs. print, sign, scan and send back
  • The essential policies every online retail store should include on their website
  • Why you shouldn't use a payment app like Venmo for your business
  • What you need to know about email and social media marketing rules

BONUS: If you're starting something new, or coronavirus has spotlighted areas of your business that have you worried, now is a great time to make sure your business is in good shape legally. Download our free legal checklist to make sure your business has a strong legal foundation!
