Building Your Brand – Rules & Guidelines

[Picture Perfect Agency]

The Building Your Brand section is a space for discussing social media strategies, marketing tips, and personal branding to help creatives grow their online presence and business. To maintain a productive and respectful environment, please follow these guidelines:

1. Stay on Topic
Discussions should be related to social media, marketing, branding, and self-promotion strategies.
If you have technical questions about website building, post them in the relevant tech support sections.

2. Share Value, Not Just Self-Promotion
You are welcome to promote your brand, but avoid excessive self-promotion without adding value to discussions.
If sharing your own experience, frame it as advice rather than just an advertisement.

3. Be Respectful & Professional
Engage in constructive and respectful discussions.
No bashing, name-calling, or negativity towards others' strategies.
Disagreements are fine, but keep debates professional.

4. No Spam or Unsolicited Sales Pitches
Do not post repeated links to your own services, products, or courses.
Affiliate links or promotions for paid services must be disclosed and posted in the appropriate sections.

5. Give Credit Where It's Due
If sharing insights or strategies from another source, cite the original creator when possible.
Do not copy and paste content from other websites without permission.

6. No Misleading or Harmful Advice
Avoid spreading false or unethical marketing strategies (e.g., buying followers, fake engagement).
No get-rich-quick schemes or deceptive branding tactics.
