Join us for the unveiling of Plainly Legal™ where you'll learn about our plans for the software, how it'll help your business, and how you can be part of the beta program!

If you're like most online business owners I know, you didn't start your business to spend time dealing with the legal stuff.

You'd rather be creating your course... coaching your clients... creating digital products... serving done-for-you clients... or doing just about anything other than dealing with the legal stuff.

And, err, the legal solutions you've found probably didn't really make the legal stuff easy and painless.

What if it could be quick, easy, and painless to deal with the legal stuff?

I'm talking about:

✅ A clear, prioritized "to-do" list so you'd know exactly what you need to do
✅ Tools that make it quick and easy to check things off your legal "to-do" list
✅ Access to get quick answers to your legal questions

Until now, that kind of solution hasn't existed... at least not unless you wanted to pay a lawyer a few grand each month to be "on retainer."

My team and I decided that isn't okay and set off to create an affordable solution.

What we came up with is a software solution called Plainly Legal™.

While the robots can't make lawyers completely obsolete, Plainly Legal™ will make it possible for you to deal with about 95% of your legal stuff yourself... and it makes it easy too!

We'll be unveiling Plainly Legal™ at a live event happening at 1 PM Eastern time on June 1.

If Plainly Legal™ sounds like the solution you've been looking for, you can reserve your spot for the unveiling at https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_8bMEv5L1SoazLM8V3dDZvA #/registration

Any course creators in the house? 🙋‍♂️

Well… back by popular demand… I’ve got a FREE training for you all about the legal stuff for online courses happening next week!

I’ll walk through the FIVE big legal areas you need to consider if you’re creating an online course, including:

👉 Naming Your Course - I’ll cover the trademark rules and how to run a trademark clearance search.

👉 Creating Your Course - I’ll make sure course creators avoid copyright landmines and get agreements from all the right people involved in creating their content.

👉 Marketing Your Course - I’ll talk FTC rules, testimonials, and affiliates.

👉 Selling Your Course - I’ll focus on getting your Course Terms & Conditions in place and agreed to in the process.

👉 Protecting Your Course - I’ll talk about what steps course creators should take once they are confident a course will be part of their long-term business plan.

We ran a similar training back in February, and it was a HIT!

I even stayed on the call an extra 1 ½ hours to answer all the questions people had.

The Legit Online Courses Made Simple training is taking place on Wednesday, May 10, 2023 @ 1p.m. EST.

Regardless of what the terms of use for the AI system you are using say... you do NOT own the output.

The Copyright Office has issued guidance making its position clear, where the AI decides the ultimate "expressive elements of its output" (and that is the case with all the standard generative AI systems), the output is "not the product of human authorship."

Because these are not works of "human authorship" they are not eligible for copyright protection. In other words, no one really owns the output. Once it's out in the world, anyone can copy it and use it to their heart's content.

That's true even where the user's prompts are highly specific... and when the user goes through multiple rounds of prompts to refine the output.

There are some nuances here, including that you can claim copyright for a creative organization of the output (e.g. how you combine images and text), but you won't own the underlying elements.

Does this mean you shouldn't use AI systems? Nope. Not necessarily.

It just means you should go in with your eyes open. Recognize that you won't be able to protect your AI-generated creations and plan accordingly.

You’ve come up with a dynamite idea 🎉 for an online course, one that you are sure will be a hit.

But one thing is stumping you… naming your online course! 🤔

It seems so simple. How hard is it to pick a freaking course name?!?

Actually, there's a lot more to it than picking a name out of a hat. 🎩

Look at you go!

You've successfully created and sold your online course! 🎉

All of those purchase alerts are feeling great... 💰

Um, except when they're not.

Like when a customer asks for a refund. 😲

Uh oh.

Dealing with the legal stuff may seem boring, but it’s important.

And creating a refund policy for your online course should be at the top of your priority list.

Get the tips here ⬇️ on how to create a refund policy for your online course that is fair, clear, and legally compliant.

My team and I have made a big decision.

We have decided to refocus the business on selling legal templates.

That means that I’m stepping away from my role as a business coach.

Going forward, we will not be offering BOM Coaching or the BOM Membership.

We will not be hosting BOM Live.

And we will be moving BOMU off our platform to YouTube where it will live for free.

This is not a decision we’ve made lightly.

If you are a podcast listener, check out to the FINAL episode of the Certified BADA$$ Online Marketing Podcast.

In this episode, I lay out my reasoning in considerably more detail.

Think of it as one last bit of business coaching. (Can’t help myself!)

I'm back on another episode of Mindset First with Linda Perry!

And you can probably guess it... this time, we're talking about all things email marketing.

Take a listen on your favorite podcast platform of Episode 89 - Email Marketing That Doesn't Suck.

Best. Review. Ever.

Look, I know that I should probably start by posted reviews that talk about the substance of my upcoming book ("Email Marketing That Doesn't Suck").

I mean, that would be the REGULAR way to go...

But I'm anything but regular.

Instead, I just have to share this one. One of my advanced readers (she's on my "launch team") actually printed all 240 pages of the PDF version out on her printer... and started her review with a Seinfeld reference followed by the highest compliment — that my book was WORTH the ink toner.

Sure, Tracy went on to say that the book changed her entire outlook on email and has her exicted to start emailing her list...
..but, come on, a sponge-worthy reference is really all you need to know.

Thanks for the kind words (and the laugh ).

The book officially goes on sale May 3.

Although it might seem boring and old, email marketing is still one of the most effective forms of marketing.

In fact, it has the highest return on investment of any form of marketing.

And if you've been in my world for a while, you may have read an email or two you've enjoyed.

But today's post isn't about how effective email marketing is... it's about making sure you've got the legal stuff set up so you can actually send your awesome emails to your audience.

So, that means one thing... creating a privacy policy for email marketing.

In today's post, we'll cover all the things you need to know about how email marketing and privacy policies collide. You'll know why you need an email privacy policy, what you should include, and how to create one.

You've got your website privacy policy created and looking good.

Great! So... now what?

Well, it actually needs to get on your website so it'll be used for its purpose.

I know a lot of people get confused about exactly where they should put it and whether they need to include links or not.

To help you figure it out, check out this week's post!

When it comes to your website, do you know the difference between a privacy policy and terms of use? And what about a disclaimer?

If you’re not exactly sure what the difference is… you’re not alone.

It’s common for website owners to confuse these important website legal policies.

But fear not! In today's post, we’ll help you understand the difference and show you how to get them in place for your website lickety-split.

The legal stuff is pretty stinking boring, and writing a privacy policy probably sounds like the ultimate snooze-fest… or worse, the kind of thing that has you waking up in a cold sweat.

But here’s the thing…

You are legally required to have a privacy policy for your website, so skipping it could land you in legal hot water.

Yikes! 😮

This week on the blog, discover what you need to include in your website privacy policy and candidly, why you should not write it yourself... because you can get a lawyer-created one for free!

You've arrived!

If you've been doing the online business thing for quite some time, you might be at the point of stepping out of the day-to-day operations and truly stepping into being the owner.

And for that, I say "Congrats!" 🎉
..but, now what?

It’s what we call Phases 5 & 6 of the BADA$$ Online Marketing™ (BOM) Process.

When I say process, that's what it is... because going through the previous phases isn't a race. Remember, you're building a real business here.

So, how do you know you have team members that can successfully run parts of your business without you?

And how do you know when you have solid financial footing in your business?

In this week's plog, you'll learn...

🏦 What is the Banker Phase
🤑 Where and what you need to focus on for your business finances
🧐 What is the Leader Phase

This phase is all about trying out your ideas, testing them, learning from them and then iterating on that result.

Check out this week's plog to learn...

👉 What scaling means for a knowledge brand
👉 The different types of scaling
👉 The importance of a product-market fit

"Why isn't anyone buying from me?"

Your course. Your program. Your product.

When I ask online business owners about one of their biggest struggles.

This is one of them. ⬆️

Despite what the latest guru (or Field of Dreams) might claim... if you build it, they will NOT come. 😩

📣 I'll say it again... just because you build a product, if you haven't researched your market and if you haven't nurtured your leads (if you even have any), your product will continue to sit on the virtual shelf collecting dust. 🧹

How do you create the proper building blocks for your business so that you can actually serve the right people with the right content and the right products?

Check out this week's plog when we go into detail about the Builder and Recruitment Phases. You'll learn the importance of

✔️ Getting people on your email list
✔️ Converting people from leads to buyers
✔️ Retaining and caring for your leads after they become buyers
✔️ The quickest way to get to the point of having an online business that will make enough money to support your lifestyle
✔️ Creating ways to generate traffic to your online business

Our Story

Hey, I'm Bobby...Harvard law grad turned online entrepreneur.

But I'm not your typical lawyer. I speak English (not legalese), use p**p emojis (like 💩 ), and make lame pop-culture references...all in hopes that you'll forget I'm a lawyer for a bit and stick around. 😎

I've built a multiple six-figure business by focusing on the basics and ignoring the "secret" bu****it the gurus are peddling.

My mission is to help YOU & other online entrepreneurs create businesses they love.
