Alternative Payment Methods:
Remember that most sites take a % of your earnings. If you are receiving money in large sums or a regular amount, you may want to try and use a different payment method.
Paypal is NOT sex worker friendly. If they discover you are a sex worker they will shut your account down, appeals can take upwards of 6 months and during that time you will have no access to the account, if you had linked a bank you will also be unable to link your bank again untill the appeal has been reviewed.
I highly suggest if you ever receive money on PayPal that you withdraw any funds you recieve immediately incase you lose access.
Cashapp is also apparently unfriendly towards sex workers however it seems to occur much less in comparison to PayPal.
Stick to using non sexual terms in the description when using a payment method like cashapp or PayPal. (use something like emojis)
Try and get tips in the form of amazon or shein gift card purchases, these aren't part of your taxable income. (this means that they aren't counted when you calculate your profits.)
Amazon
If you have an amazon wishlist, make sure that 3rd party deliveries are off in the wishlist settings. (this prevents sharing of your full address, your town and the first name on the address on the delivery address will however always show regardless of this setting is on or off, if you're concerned then stick to gift cards and don't use a wishlist.)
In addition remember to use your sex worker name for the display name and recepient on the wishlist and ensure your public amazon account has no personal information such as names or even past reviews.
Create a new address (same address just use a pen/fake name) use this on your wishlist to stop your real name being shown. Your city will always be shown.
You can see purchased items! (filter and then filter again) but please wait until the item is in your hands as it can be cancelled!
What's the deal with the people in your DMs offering free Amazon products?
If you know what to look for these are usually legit!
Amazon reviews hold more weight from a verified buyer, this means someone who has purchased the item, gifted items from the seller don't have this status, hence why these companies are offering toys on things like twitter.
Look for free toys in your area, they're usually done by country. Please always give an honest review, there are sometimes BAD toys that NEED an honest review to protect others, and occasionally the companies may ask you neglect this information and still leave a good review. They CANNOT control your review, be honest.
It is legit IF you are sent the money beforehand to purchase the product and then leave a review
it is suspicious if you are asked to purchase first and be reimbursed afterwards any time you have to put money forward first I would use caution.
It is suspicious if you are asked to give any details to the seller other than your PayPal email (they typically only use PayPal).
Some companies may want to do direct reviews outside of amazon and may request for your address directly, I would advise for beginners to stick to companies that use amazon as you have a safety barrier protecting your information
USE CAUTION WHEN LEAVING REVIEWS you can be banned from reviewing items if amazon thinks you are abusing the reviewing system. Limit yourself to a few reviews a week or so.
