Ultimately, deductions, what are some common things that you think independent creators forget to deduct that they should?

Home office, cell phone, meals, and travel.

Welcome back to the Think Media podcast. Today's episode is all about YouTube Taxes Explained with money with money saving tips for content creators.

And this is kind of a beginner's guide to YouTube taxes. However, if you're even more advanced,

our guest today is dropping some major knowledge and wisdom to help you improve your financial

education and ultimately make keep and invest more money back

in your business so you can make a greater impact. Now, Matt Bond Tracker, our guest, is a certified

public accountant, a CPA licensed in Nevada, and he's the managing partner, co-founder of

TrueBooks, which is an accounting firm specializing in real estate. Matt strives to

help clients navigate complex tax code for their benefit, as well as keeping their accounting

records organized and up to date. Matt's also a content creator himself, and he's an in-demand

speaker for events, masterminds, and

small groups of business leaders and teams.

And the reason I love Matt is even if you're not into real estate, one of the smartest

things you can do is start your creator economy business, grow it, start generating

more revenue, and eventually invest intelligently in some of the best

assets that give you tax benefits. And by far, real estate is the best. And so this is actually

a three-part series that Matt is joining us for. In this first part, we're going to talk about

some of the foundations that you should know as far as setting up a business and LLC, different things like that, things you should know as far as write-offs and deductions, and even just the mindset that you should have when it comes to learning something that a lot of us don't want to talk about.

Like, I just want to acknowledge you and say, I respect you for even clicking on an episode like this.
