I know this sounds scary and a lot of guides will skip this part as it is not very upbeat or positive.

This does however not change the fact that you need to be aware and protect yourself.

My research from reading forums and such seems to suggest that many publishers start with a template solution – sometimes free – and then move on to enlisting the services of lawyers and accountants when possible.

1. You have selected your Niche
2. You have set up your website by completing the 4 steps below
   • registered a domain name

3. You have installed and activated a mailing list provider making it possible to collect email addresses for your newsletter member mailings
4. You have looked into the requirements regarding legal pages, cookies, GDPR, etc. to make sure you meet with rules and regulations where we live and operate

Now it is time to move on to one of the actual pillars of the OPERATIONS of your website.
