10 tips for running a more ethical business

Image of pieces of paper, labelled "wrong", "right", and "?", symbolising business ethics.

This blog post will be much shorter than usual. I’ve actually written a whole article on running an ethical business on LinkedIn for a change. I’ll just leave a table of contents here for your information and hope you’ll want to find out more. You’ll learn about ethical marketers, courses, podcasts, apps, tools, and much more.

Quick overview – how to run an ethical business

1. Follow ethical marketers and listen to ethical podcasts
2. State your prices – clearly
3. Ditch the upsell / downsell
4. Minimise personal data collection
5. Stop using FOMO (‘fear of missing out’)
6. Quote and cite – don’t breach copyright
7. Become more eco-friendly
8. Question your affiliate links
9. Work with ethical clients
10. Admit mistakes & keep learning

You can learn a lot more about each of the above ethical business actions in my LinkedIn article.
