Hey Folks, I am no stranger to marketing and sales, but have done that mostly offline (we create content/write copy for website, but I have not "sold" anything online.) I am totally psyched about venturing into the vast universe of online business and want to make this a success. I hope to have fun, learn a lot and build a thriving business...and, who knows, I may even be lucky enough to make a friend or two along the way. May we all grow and prosper. Cheers, Adam

Hello, Adam!
Perhaps this will be the start of one of those friendships you mentioned in your profile....I had to come by and meet you as you left an encouraging and thoughtful comment on a comment I had left for Jason. This community affords many opportunities to be there for one another in ways that can matter and help us get through the tough spots, the stuck spots.
I find that once you have made a heart connection with someone, even the someones we only meet in cyberspace that it matters how they are faring. My challenge can be missing opportunities to reach out because of doing some proverbial tailfeather chasing with family obligations.
At any rate, I am most thankful that you shared your thoughts and glad to hear that you felt it was a thoughtful post and had some food for thought that you benefited from as well.
So how goes your "venture into the vast universe of online business"? I rather like how you have worded this. Lots of room to learn and develop amazing results within our lessons and our creations. I will keep my eyes on the lookout for what you creatively bubble to the surface.

Hi Linda, thanks for reaching out. I have a pretty solid marketing and sales background but have really added some great tools to my arsenal here. I love this place for being a great knowledge bank but also for being a space where people appear to genuinely help each other.
I am a little bit off course right now. I had originally started out with a site about "fixing back pain naturally." I learned a lot in the process, wrote some posts and reviews and just started venturing into creating videos (and realizing that being a real online publisher will require hiring a team at some point) but wanted a proof of concept first...although in hindsight the competition in that space seems daunting ( a lot of really big authority sites). I was mainly using my experience dealing with back pain and a pretty bad back injury to explain what can be done using natural means (heat, cold, diet, exercise, yoga, etc.) to manage back pain and to bounce back from a back injury. To keep things in context I provided information about the general mechanics of the spine.
This said, I pulled the site last week after somebody alerted me to the fact that some of the information may be construed as "medical information" (although I run several medical disclaimers on my site and make it clear that I am only talking about my experience and am not providing medical advice.) I was told that this was not enough to be safe if based in the U.S. and that you need lots of insurance if you are selling products going in or on to the body or are dealing with subject matter dealing with the body... (you can even be liable if somebody finds your information outdated or not accurate enough.) I do not want to take any chances, so I am off to finding a new niche...
Best,
Adam

Hello, Adam,
I appreciate you sharing your journey with me. What you have said gives me a bit of pause as I too am writing within a niche that has many medical aspects to it. Gramp Mike encouraged me to be sure to have the disclaimers on my pages and I am still trying to get all of that caught up.
His site is on his learning curve over health issues and he has stated a few times here and there that the site is and has been doing quite well. You may want to go over to check in with him, he may have a different take from whomever said your site could be construed as "medical information". Goodness, many of our sites probably do. I know Robert/Boomer has one on health and so does JasonGB and they are both doing well within their chosen niches.
Jason's site is: http://healthynatured.com
Robert's sites are: http://thefreecancercure.com; http://nomoreflushots.com
I understand not wanting to take any chances though. It sure has run amock in my thoughts from time to time too.
Hope this is helpful.
Linda

Thanks, Linda. I will check in with these gentlemen.
Here is a link you may want to look at
http://www.freenetlaw.com/free-medical-disclaimer/
Excerpt:
"The problems that might arise out of the publication of medical information are obvious. It is the nature of medical information that acting upon it, or not acting upon it, may lead to harm. For example, harm may result if a user decides not to visit a doctor because of something he or she has read on a website, self-prescribes some medicine based on that reading, ignore previous medical advice or neglects to take a medicine previously prescribed.
If the information published on the website is wrong, misleading or simply outdated, then the publisher may incur liability, notwithstanding the contents of a disclaimer. Even if the information on the website is correct, users may misinterpret that information that has been published, leading to harm. In this latter type of case, the law will help determine the extent to which the publisher and the user are responsible for the harm."
I will see if I can pivot somehow and pull the "medical information" (I am talking about the functionality of the spine, although in great detail) out and work more on the level of what "I am doing"....
Best,
Adam

Good reference and oh so important to keep in mind. It would break my heart for someone to misinterpret what I write and end up making a choice that in the worst case scenario could result in loss of life. Of course that would be very untenable.
Thansk for taking the time to share your journey and insights.

Hi Angel, thank you. I do indeed have a question and hope you can help. Do you use a "Terms and Conditions" form on your sites in additions to your Privacy Policy? If so which resource did you use for the templates - specifically for the T&C part. Regards, Adam

Dear Adam,
I do not necessarily use a Terms and Conditions on my Website. But I do use a Privacy Policy Page and Affiliate Disclaimer though.
In terms of Templates and Resources, I would recommend looking through the following: How to Create a Privacy Policy Page on Your Website Affiliate & Earnings Disclaimer Copy If you would like to know how to place them in your Top Menu, then this Tutorial should help with that. :) Custom Dropdown Menu Trick I hope I helped answer your question. :)

Thank you, Angel. I want to run the sites under the umbrella of my company, that's why I thought I may need a T&C section. I will look for some online resources and post them later, if I find something I feel comfortable with. Best, Adam

(This helps people to connect with you quickly. You can put what you like)
(2) Add a personal description.
(Let us know a little about yourself and why you're here at WA!)
If you do these simple steps it will show you're serious about learning at WA and people will be more likely to answer your questions and help you if they see you've taken the two minutes to complete your profile.
