Navigating taxes and finances as an independent webcam model - pekelis8 - 02-24-2025
Hi folks, I’ve been streaming for a while now, but the financial side is starting to stress me out. I’m unsure about how to handle taxes, track expenses, or figure out if I need a separate bank account. It’s all pretty confusing. How do you manage your finances in this line of work?

Hey, I’m just passing through, but I know a few freelance friends who’ve had similar issues. They all say the same thing: keep records from day one. Even if it feels tedious, it’ll help you stay organized and avoid surprises later. I’ve also heard that setting aside a portion of your earnings for taxes is wise, so you’re not caught off guard. Good luck getting everything sorted—I’m sure you’ll feel more at ease once you have a system.
