Website legal musts for online course creators (Legal Road Map® Podcast S4E81)

Your website is the front door to your amazing online course. But if you don't include the right legal documents on your site, it's like leaving your door wide open.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Which documents are required by law on your website and which are just a good idea
  • Why disclaimers are essential for online businesses in the health and wellness field
  • The ins and outs of FTC disclosures and when you must use them on your website
  • The easy addition to your course materials or downloadables that could deter someone else from copying them (and help you enforce your rights if it does happen)

Key takeaway: It's easy to get caught up in how your website looks and what it can do, but every online business owner must make sure the proper legal protections are in place to lay a smart legal foundation for your website, and business.
