We like to see creators getting their due when it comes to the content they create.

But apparently not quite as much as the creators of FYPM (F*** You Pay Me), a service which calls itself the “glassdoor for influencers.”

We're not exactly going to deliver earth-shattering news when suggesting that in the world of tech, things are changing rapidly.

Some things that we figured would always be a part of our tech ecosystem may not be, while trends we could have never expected to be a part of our life may become commonplace.

Something that has changed dramatically in recent years is password management, and big news out of Microsoft suggests that the future may be passwordless.

More often than not, a new feature on Facebook causes us to groan. It is quite rare that they roll out something new and actually useful to business owners, but when they do there is reason to celebrate.

So when they rolled out the ability to bulk invite people to like your Facebook page in just a few clicks, we were giddy with excitement. This is a tool we've been wanting them to roll out for years, and is going to make all of our lives easier in just a few simple clicks!

So in this one, we thought we'd share more about where you can find this new tool, how to use it, and why it is so helpful.

Shout out to Uncovering PA for this great tip!

Over the years, we've found ourselves becoming big fans of the newsletter service, Mailerlite, as it is quite powerful, has many tools we personally love, and comes in at a respectable price point compared to the competition.

So to help you get more out of your newsletter, we reached out to Martyna from Mailerlite to talk about the service and she shares some great newsletter tips and tricks for you to consider in this one!

If you've spent any amount of time on blogging social media groups, you've likely seen a couple of topics come up time and time again.

The first, and more common post, is “[website] stole my photos without credit!” and the second is “I was just sent an invoice for copyright infringement for a 3rd party photo I used on my blog”.

While you have many avenues for recourse if your own content has been stolen (including invoicing for damages or sending a DMCA notice), if you are the perpetrator of an infringement you may have fewer options at your disposal. Stealing is bad, and we have little more to say on that.

That being said, the advice of “don't steal” only goes so far. To be blunt, many scams exist online to screw over website operators, and if you use 3rd party content in any capacity, there may be scenarios where you can become a victim despite doing everything “right”.

So in this one, we thought we'd talk a bit more about how you can go about using 3rd party content, namely stock images, and keep yourself safe from possible lawsuits later on. While we cannot say these tips are 100% foolproof, especially as we are not lawyers and copyright laws also vary by country, these tips should give you an added layer of protection all the same.
