Legal Templates For Influencers FAQs
How do I protect my content (and keep people from stealing from me)?
You should start with the proper copyright notice on all of your content. See the bottom of this page and follow that format.
Do I need agreements when I start to monetize?
Yes. You should have agreements with your advertisers or collaborators any time money is involved.
How do I protect my brand and its name?
Your brand is everything as an influencer. Whether it’s your name, a logo, or a clever handle, you need to protect it. Trademarking is how you protect your brand name. You should first make sure it’s available. Then you should consider trademarking it to make sure no one else can use your name.
Do I need to disclose my advertisers?
First, congrats on having advertisers. Second, yes, you do need to disclose this. It not only builds trust with your audience but it’s also required.
What if I want to cancel a contract with an advertiser because they are not good for my audience?
It’s important that you have clauses in your agreement that give you discretion to cancel a contract. You may have an advertiser that no longer aligns with your brand and/or values and you need to have the flexibility to cancel that without significant penalty. We includes these clauses in our templates.
How do I protect my audience?
This is a great question and also depends on your platform. We always recommend a strategy that involves collecting email addresses because Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, and all the others are continually changing so you want to make sure you are building a business that doesn’t solely rely on their platform. Collecting email addresses is a great way to make sure you can always reach your audience.
