Getting Paid

When you're done

The money will have somewhere to go: her Fanvue payouts configured to your account, and the three money-hygiene habits that keep this a real business — where the money lands, what you set aside, what you write down.

Why this matters

There's money in her balance now (or about to be) — and a surprising number of creators leave earnings sitting on platforms for months because "setting up payouts" felt like admin. It IS admin. It's also the entire point. Fifteen minutes today and every dollar she ever earns has a road home.

The steps

1. Set up Fanvue payouts. In her Fanvue account settings, complete the payout section — it uses the same verified identity from Lesson 1.3, plus your bank details. {{VERIFY AT FILMING: exact payout setup path, supported methods, payout schedule, minimum withdrawal}}

2. Know the platform's cut before it surprises you. Fanvue takes its percentage of earnings; what lands in payouts is net. {{VERIFY AT FILMING: current Fanvue fee structure — state it plainly on screen}} Your workbook numbers (the drop tracker, the three-number loop) should track what you keep — net is the only number that's real.

3. The set-aside rule. Money from this business arrives with no taxes withheld — you're self-employed income now. We're not tax advisors and this isn't tax advice: talk to a tax professional in your country about self-employment income, and until you have, move a meaningful slice of every payout into a separate "not mine yet" bucket the day it lands. Future-you at tax time either thanks present-you or curses them. There is no third option.

4. The money log. One page in the workbook, one line per payout: date · gross · fees · net · set-aside · kept. Sixty seconds per payout. This page is also what turns "I think it's going okay" into "month two netted X more than month one" — the sentence that keeps spouses, and you, on board.

5. When to withdraw: on the platform's schedule, regularly — not "when it feels like enough." Regular small withdrawals prove the pipe works, keep balances off the platform, and make the money real. The first one is a milestone all its own: her money, in your account, from a business that didn't exist a month ago.
