3 Legal Mistakes DESTROYING Creators (Attorney Explains)

What are the top 3 legal mistakes that creators make that can lead to them losing their business, their channel, savings and even their home?

1) No LLC or general liability/media insurance;
2) No contracts for their team, brands or partners; and
3) No IP protections like trademarks which are so important—do not lose your handle or company name.

These are simple fixes but why do so many creators ignore them?

I have been gone the last 9 months supporting the biggest YouTubers as their fractional CEO, but I want to make sure I am still able to give advice to all levels of creators.

I am help creators think beyond relying on AdSense and brand deals because that is a recipe for burnout.

You need to diversify revenue streams by:
1) launching and selling your own products;
2) having your own community;
3) taking equity in brand deals....

all with an eye to an exit and an acquisition by a private equity fund. Creators are the new media companies.
