Need some newbie advice

[bell]

Hi im located in Australia and am getting the idea of the diff sights what there banning areas are? privacy is an issue im sure most of you concerned about i wouldnt want anything shown in australia at all. I wondered though some different thoughts on who to sign through so far im in the initial process with skyprivate but i noticed with them they said one of my public pictures must be of my face i wanted to at least have a face mask on may not be forever but in those more public photos yes. Then i found xmodels and they are happy for you to be masked the whole process so any advice also who has been the best to deal with and any others you may have had issues with let me know im needing the advice as im a newbie thanks heaps.
Also anyone in aus whats the idea with abn and how do you declare any of that work to centrelink or tax office i read another threed that was very helpful about tax and centrelink but just with the abn as it has to be in your name you cant hide that to these services.
I know in the initial sign up i have to do the sign in with my legal name which i expect but its just how you go about the cover of what you actually do to put down as your service.
Any other advice that you wish someone had told you in the beginning of your career i need to hear.
Thanks heaps xx

I wish I had more advice for you but I’m not in Australia
As far as showing your face goes, that’s a big part of this job. They say the internet is forever I have no shame and accepted that my face and all the rest is on the internet

Once you get access to the models only section you can get better advice! Hugs!

Not a model but this might help...

You need to register for GST (get an ABN) once you start making sales in excess of AUD$75,000. You can register the ABN in your business name, however you are right that someone determined can find out who the owner of the business is.

One advantage of having an ABN is you can claim back the GST of anything you buy in relation to your caming business. This means claiming back 10% of all your computer equipment, your internet costs, even part of your electricity bill. Basically any expenses that you can relate back to your caming income. (Please note this advice is very general and you should seek professional advice before continuing down this path, as it involves filling out Business Activity Statements, BAS, and record keeping). Please note that wether or not you have to charge GST in the first place will be determined by what sites you use and your contract with them... This area can get quite complicated and it would also have to consider if the product is being consumed in Australia or not...

Reporting any income should be done judiciously with Centrelink and the tax office (for income tax purposes). Keep Centrelink update of any changes in your circumstances. Potentially I would suggest that you tell them you are earning your money through freelance web work, keeping it as vague as possible.

Good luck, let me know if you need any further clarification and ill try and help.

Remember that even if you have blocking enabled, lots of people use VPN's and won't be affected.

Remember your shows and videos will be put on sites without your permission that don't care about geoblocks

And also, ALL the models (even the newest) are recorded and put online everytime, from the first second they stream.

You know what I used to ban a lot of places but... noticed that doesn't fix it if they're using a vpn... so... I decided to just don't give a fuck and not block anything. lol
