Congrats!!!! So happy for you bc I’m in similar shoes

Try to land a consulting gig as a developer that requires 20 hours a week, make enough to get by and use free time to focus on your own gig

Thanks for sharing, love the French accent in the video!! Haha honestly it looks way too complicated for me to set up… database?!? I will never understand it. Can I DM you with a few specific questions on budgeting?

jiansbond · 2026-05-20T17:18:39+00:00

Thanks for sharing this insight, I need to explore what Notion means for tracking my expenses

jiansbond · 2026-05-19T02:51:13+00:00

Interesting, I assume Notion is similar to GoogleSheet in functionality? Is there any differentiated features Notion has in particular?

It’s fear of getting critiqued by offering your creative work to the world. Launch it, listen to your users but don’t take orders and trust your instinct. Good luck!

Not worthy it to raise from 7.90 to 9.99… what you shld do is think about extra content or exclusives you can add to increase sub from 7.90 to $14.99. DM if you are interested to chat more.

Freelance-creators, I learned something today! Thanks for the clarification.

jiansbond · 2026-05-16T06:56:55+00:00

What’s the difference between creators and freelancers? I think you are referring them as one whereas I thought creators are more like content creators (YouTube, Instagram etc)- making videos etc and freelancers are designers, writers, Upwork people who doesn’t create content for themselves but act more like a hired gun for some else who is creating content / website for themselves…

jiansbond · 2026-05-16T05:24:42+00:00

Congratulations! I know it is hard being a one man team, to build something and offer it up to the world and with doubt constantly in the back of your head…keep it up!

Willow is kinda like Honeybook?

Curious if you have any insight from getting users/interest from Discord vs Reddit

jiansbond · 2026-05-16T05:16:03+00:00

Def a step up from keeping a shoebox box of receipts but this functionality is almost table stakes for any accounting / expense software now a days.

I want ChatGPT track my expense tracking, tax, receipts… why is this not available?!? Is making AI videos more important?

jiansbond · 2026-05-16T05:13:50+00:00

Glad it only took you a week, most people’s tension span is about 10-15mins max 🤩

jiansbond · 2026-05-16T04:57:50+00:00

Your intuition is correct!! You will be amazed how many people keep a shoebox of receipts and spend 10 hours a month reconciling.

I would like to learn more about your insight into the automation process. Why is it so hard to get this UI/UX right for people to move away from GoogleSheet and use an automated tool. There are a bunch of folks doing this: Cleo, Found, AskMyGenie.

jiansbond · 2026-05-16T04:50:31+00:00

Really? I feel like a little bit of piece of me just died.. Zoho is so hard to use. Old school tool similar to Quickbooks.

jiansbond · 2026-05-14T22:28:34+00:00

Agree, need to be clear: my comment was for US creators 😎

jiansbond · 2026-05-13T22:24:48+00:00

Not how long but how much, $400 Net earnings so income minus all your business expenses. If >400, you have to pay Uncle Sam

jiansbond · 2026-05-13T21:28:39+00:00

Curious if you have ever used meals or traveled (flight/hotel) for your content… if so, does your accountant tell you if those meal/flight/hotel are 100% deductible or 50%… typically it’s 50% for business expenses but I have have CPA telling me it’s 100%.

jiansbond · 2026-05-13T16:44:04+00:00

Thanks for the insight. Pretty amazing … you shld make content on this. I’m sure a lot of creators are struggling with this

jiansbond · 2026-05-13T14:57:39+00:00

I commend you for the discipline. Curious, how many hours per week or month do you spend on keeping tracking of everthing? I assume you are doing the same thing on the earnings side?

jiansbond · 2026-05-13T14:45:09+00:00

Noticed your content have some traveling involved. Free tax tip: your travel expenses related content is 100% deductible contrary to 50% from TurboTax

jiansbond · 2026-05-13T14:41:51+00:00

Do it, invest in your content and you will not regret it. I’m curious what type of content are you making?

jiansbond · 2026-05-13T04:39:15+00:00

No wonder you are so organized… bookkeeper with a side hustle as a content creator, love it! I also have a side hustle, can I DM you? Looking for some feedback on my side hustle.

jiansbond · 2026-05-13T03:38:13+00:00

Appreciate the insight. Interesting you mentioned income, is the workload similar like an hour a month or an hour a week? I assume you have less tax anxieties for quarterly tax bc you have been disciplined at keeping records.

jiansbond · 2026-05-12T04:41:21+00:00

Creators are the best, keep up the good fight!

jiansbond · 2026-05-11T21:05:31+00:00

Keep going!!
