Never provide services to other parties without using a contract. To ensure that you are legally protected if something goes wrong, you should sign a contract that will outline all expectations.

Your website should include a form inviting visitors to join your email list. This link should be placed on every page of your site, so that visitors have multiple chances to add their contact information.

If it’s appropriate, you could earn some money with membership fees. In many cases, your site could easily implement a membership subscription that could increase your profits.
