📓 Workbook
The three boring things that protect everything you build after this will exist: a clean business email with two-factor on, a password manager, and the compliance basics checked off. Ten minutes, one time, never think about it again.
Accounts are the land your business is built on. People lose months because a platform flagged a sketchy signup, or they lost a password, or they broke a rule they never read. Every horror story in this space starts with skipping this step.
Create your business email.
One fresh email runs the whole business — the studio, Fanvue, socials, all of it. Not your personal one. Name it something neutral like firstname.creatorbiz@gmail.com — not your creator's name (she gets her own email later, in the traffic phase).
Set up a password manager. Any mainstream one — the one built into your phone is fine. The rule is that you use one, not which one. Save the new email as entry #1. From now on: every account this course creates goes in the manager the minute it exists.
Turn on two-factor authentication for the business email — and save the backup codes. In your email settings → security → two-step verification → phone number or authenticator app. Then download the backup codes and store them where your ID lives (printed, or in the password manager's secure notes). This email will control every account in the business, and your phone becomes its key — the backup codes are what save the whole business if that phone is ever lost, broken, or stolen. Two minutes. Non-negotiable, both halves.
Read the compliance three. Out loud. Seriously.
these aren't our rules to bend — they're the platform's, the law's, and the payment system's. Following them is a competitive advantage, because half your competition doesn't.
~10 minutes, one sitting.
The business email exists with 2FA on, and it's saved in your password manager. Check the boxes above and mark complete.
You can, but don't. Separation costs 5 minutes now and saves real pain if an account is ever flagged — or if you ever sell this business (yes, that's a real thing that happens).
Whichever your phone already offers. Apple, Google, any mainstream option. Two minutes. The rule is using one, not choosing one.
Running an adult-adjacent content business as an adult is legal — Fanvue is a regulated, KYC-verified platform, and your income from it is ordinary self-employment income (the money lesson in Phase 6 covers the tax habit). Your identity stays private on the creator side. Two honest caveats, because we don't do false comfort: laws differ by country (if you're outside the US/UK/EU mainstream, spend ten minutes checking your local rules), and if your employment contract has a moonlighting or conduct clause, read it — most don't restrict a private side business, but yours is the one that matters. None of this is legal advice; it's the map of what to check, which for almost everyone is: nothing.
Yes. Fanvue verifies identity regardless of country; their verification page lists supported countries and documents.
Your creator's public profile never shows your identity — her public face is the persona you design next lesson. Verification is handled privately by Fanvue.
Boring part's done, and you're safer than most people who've been doing this for a year. Next lesson we make the single most fun decision of the business: who your creator is — and we make it in 20 minutes flat.
