It's a good idea to get into the habit of tracking your numbers, including your followers, viewers, visitors along with your income and expenses.
Keep a binder with sheet protectors for loose receipts and receipts you get in the mail.
You can write off your:
Business telephone Internet payments Platforms (like Kajabi, Podia, Mighty Networks) Parking and gas Business lunches Business travel PayPal fees Decks Crystals Oils Taxes paid Accountant services Business photo shoots
And much more!
As you are starting out, consult with your local small business association or a local accountant to find out exactly what you can write off. And remember, write offs aren't necessarily "pay backs" or money in the bank. Generally speaking, they reduce your profits so you pay less taxes.
