Unfortunately, many sex workers lack access to professional financial advice, or might be afraid to ask for the help they need. In writing this book, I broke down sex work money into two parts: first, the emotional side. For most people, there’s a special charge when money is exchanged for sexuality. So I unpack the emotional life of sex work money, and how those feelings can impact our livelihood. In the second half of the book, I offer practical advice. So many people think that all it takes to be good at money is math. Well, most of us have calculators on our phones, but very few of us, unfortunately, ever received a formal financial education. Financial literacy—or more specifically the lack of it—is an enormous problem. I write about money management as the doings of money—earning, budgeting, saving, investing, spending, sharing, and all the rest, always through the lens of the special challenges sex workers face. Additionally, I reached out to more than fifteen tax, legal, financial, and sex work experts for their advice on a wide range of topics to help you level up your sex work business, including: Porn veteran Jiz Lee on combatting online piracy.Sugar Queen Taylor B. Jones on writing the perfect ad.Cybersecurity expert Violet Blue on maintaining your privacy online.Tax attorney Christopher Kirk on whether starting an LLC is right for your business.Marketing Maven Amberly Rothfield on creating passive income streams.Mistress Lori St. Kitts, author of the sex worker’s tax bible, on tax preparation.Former APAC Vice President Conner Habib on reading contracts before signing.Broke Millennial’s Erin Lowry on the importance of investing early and often.And many others!
