Social Media Groups And Communities

Business owners of all skill and experience levels are welcome in our social communities. We want people to feel safe when using our groups and forums. For that reason, we've developed a set of community guidelines, outlined below. These policies will help you understand what type of sharing is allowed in our communities and private groups, and what type of content may be reported to us and removed. Because of the diversity of our global community, please keep in mind that something that may be disagreeable or disturbing to you may not violate our community guidelines.

  • Business owners of all levels are welcome here
    We have members of all skill and experience levels.
  • Keep it respectful
    Comments that are inappropriately negative, rude, or attacking will be deleted, removed, or we will ask you to revise your thoughts. Everyone is here to learn and grow, so anything violating that will be removed.
  • No Pitching to the group
    We have a strict 'no shopping for customers' policy in our groups. This includes pointing people to blog posts with your offers/affiliate offers and publicly asking members to join your own Facebook groups or communities. Be cautious of unsolicited private messages to group members. If we get multiple complaints that you or someone else is using private messages to make unsolicited pitches to members, you may be asked to leave. You should view the group as your peers, not your leads.
  • No gated content
    Content posted in the groups cannot be used to harvest leads in any way. If you need a feedback or a review, post the direct PDF, document, or screenshot. Don't require people to opt-in to view.
  • Respect confidentiality
    Content gathered in our online community groups cannot be collected, repackaged, and/or shared outside the group. Every member of our communities has a right to privacy and the right to feel safe that their questions, answers, and experiences remain privy to group members only.
  • Keep it on topic
    We reserve the right to remove posts based on off-topic content or offensive content.
  • Partnering with other members
    Access to this group does not mean that Company endorses anyone's products or services. Please be cautious and do your due diligence when partnering with anyone in the group - don't assume everyone is trustworthy.
  • Report posts that are breaking group policies
    Due to the large amount of people in our groups and communities, it's sometimes difficult for us to catch everything. If you see a post that is questionable, please report it, tag our community manager in the comments, or reach out to our community manager directly via private message so our team can review them.
  • Breaking the rules
    One or more warning for rule-breaking behavior will result in permanent removal from the community or group at Company's sole discretion.
