Streamer Class

Tips for serious Streamers/Content Creators - Get a business address (at minimum a PO Box) Use a mail center or a networking location that rents business mailing addresses for $20-$30 a month that will accept mail on your behalf. Nothing should point to your HOME ADDRESS! Have your Amazon Wishlist sent here. Some places will open your mail ahead of time if you request. - Form an LLC (use that address) - In the US? Get your LLCs EIN, business tax ID #, free at irs.gov (takes a few mins.) - Get a business bank account - Have all payments sent to that account and use it for anything you pay for (subs, bits, streaming gear, etc.) Link PayPal & Stripe to it - Save 25-30% for taxes (file quarterly if possible) - Use a financial tracker or at least use Google sheets to break everything down monthly. - Don’t use your real name, use your business name. - Request yourself to be removed from people finder websites. There are links at the bottom of them to do so. Treat content creation as a business, because it is, and protect yourself. ❤️
