Trying to keep up with payouts is driving me nuts. The timing is inconsistent, and those fees pop up unexpectedly.
I wasted so much time last month just trying to balance everything and still felt lost.
Is there a smarter way to handle this?
Track everything in a simple spreadsheet. Update it weekly when payouts hit.
Had this exact problem managing payments across three apps. Daily reconciliation saved my sanity - don’t wait until month end.
I log gross revenue from each platform as it comes in, then match it when the payout hits my bank. Takes 10 minutes daily.
Track fees separately since each platform has different cuts and payout schedules. I make fees their own line item.
Way easier than reverse engineering weeks later when your accountant’s breathing down your neck.
I grab all my statements at week’s end and match the net amounts hitting my account.
Don’t bother tracking individual transactions. The platforms do that. Just make sure your total matches what they sent.
Note which week each deposit covers and you’re set for taxes.
Separate bank accounts for each platform. Changed my life.
