Perfecting Blogging | By Sophia Lee Blogging, great video

[@aselfguru]

Great video, Sophia, on the legal side of blogging that everyone needs to know! And thank you so much for using and recommending my legal templates to protect bloggers and online entrepreneurs ❤

[@lanaimogene9453]

Hi the code isn’t working. Could you please double check to confirm? Thank you

[@CrystalReneTheLifeTheLook]

This was so needed!! Thank you!!

[@Fedgery007]

Very helpful! Yes don’t use other people’s images without permission even if you give them attribution. I didn’t know that a lot of artists and creators send over their pictures to companies like Pixsy, and they’re constantly scanning the internet for those pics. If they catch you, they will attempt to extort thousands of dollars…even if it’s just a simple image on your blog.

[@bumblebee2205]

should we set up an LLC before making money from the blog?

[@aselfguru]

Yes, you certainly could. It depends on your risk tolerance. I help new business owners form an LLC all the time (even though they haven't launched their website yet) but they want to make sure they are protected legally and avoid liability from the beginning.

[@angy6465]

8:40 stealing somebody's work is surely disgusting, but you know what's more disgusting? Having to comply with a million stupid useless laws that will do nothing but take unnecessary risks to innocent people who just want to have a website, i dont fucking know what to say really

[@prisotams]

day 1 of asking sophia lee whats ur starbucks order

[@anetttapia5286]

To give credit for an image from Pinterest or Instagram, should I just ask the author's permission and give credit?

[@andzelika3841]

If i live in Europe do i still need llc because i have no idea what that is

[@Mrskess]

Are blogs still really doing well in 2024? Hasn’t online content especially short form, taken over blogs? And aren’t KZbin videos are preferred for information over reading blogs?

[@Fedgery007]

From what I know, you are correct mostly. Established blogs are probably still doing well but it’s definitely much harder to start a new blog and see huge success with it.

[@DebraJohnson]

It’s easier now, less competition. It’s very hard to consume content on social media. People still like blogs and Pinterest where you can actually find links and detailed information.

[@reinilla]

How you find out if someone is copying your blog

[@stephanieabplanalp3114]

Amazing video!! This stuff scares the crap out of me. So nice to know im not alone. Also, I'm Im having trouble getting the coupon code to work. I used your link. Any ideas? 😊

[@KeeganStephen0914]

Can you use stock photos from websites?

[@aselfguru]

Only copyright free images.

[@kelliethomsen]

Hi Sophia what kind of lawyer do you have (or their specialty?)

[@ffi5733]

How do you get permission to use other people’s photos on your blog? Do you just email them and then keep the proof ?

[@Brrrrbrrrr11]

Give them credits

[@ffi5733]

@@Brrrrbrrrr11 don’t they also need to give written permission for you to use their photo though? So I’d presume you have to contact them and then keep this permission stored somewhere

[@aselfguru]

You would use an agreement such as a Media release agreement that allows you to get permission to the photo or anything else without owing them compensation :) this serves as proof and actually protects you from copyright violations down the road.

[@ffi5733]

@@aselfguru thank you for replying. But doesn’t instagrams imbed feature allow you to freely embed users photos onto your blog of those who are set to public

[@aselfguru]

@@ffi5733 that's very different than grabbing any image from Google without permission. With IG terms, as a user, you give them a license to be able to use your photos or videos while being on the platform. But IG has made it clear that their terms do not grant a sub-license to others for embedding videos/photos. In other words, they are not taking any legal liability here but shifting it to the person who wants to embed others' images. So even though their terms allow embedding, you could still be sued for copyright violation by the actual owner of the photo/video. Copyright law is a complex area and it's not always so black and white :)

[@SebastianRodriguez-uf8nl]

Could someone let me know the way that a blog, that only has Spanish content, can be legal? Please. 🙏

[@almoshkyomaralmoshky-su9bg]

Thank you so much for useful information also your kindness and honesty in every step you speak about...but i like to ask you personal question:-Are you still single??

[@Digitalcataloghub]

The llc is only for tax purposes right?

[@aselfguru]

Hey, business lawyer here. No, an LLC is a limited liability company formed for legal purposes in the US to create a shield of protection where it separates your business from your personal assets (home, car, bank accounts, etc) so you are not legally liable for the debts and losses of your business.

In a sense you started everything when you were broke as a joke 👀

Can we collaborate?

Cursing is a turnoff and unprofessional
