Let’s be real — tax season is coming, and most creators & entrepreneurs aren’t ready. 
Lost receipts. Random screenshots. Guessing what’s deductible. Stress you don’t need.

That changes now.

We’re officially partnering with Otto to support creators with something just as important as content and community: financial clarity.

Through this partnership, qualified DBC creators get FREE bookkeeping for 12 months (a $1,000+ value).

Here’s what you get: • A dedicated bookkeeper who understands creator businesses • Unlimited bank + card connections • Ongoing transaction categorization • A year-end income statement, tax-ready • A complimentary business + growth consultation

This is about walking into 2026 organized, confident, and in control — not overwhelmed by admin.

CTA: 
Comment “READY” and we’ll DM you how to unlock the DBC × Otto offer. 🚨

P.S. Even if your books are a mess — start anyway. Otto cleans it up.

Dream bigger. Build smarter. 
Dream Now.

If you earn 1099 income, you’re not taxed like everyone else - you’re taxed like a full business.
And most people never explain what that actually means.

Here’s the simple version: creators pay three types of taxes.

1️⃣ Federal income tax
2️⃣ State income tax
3️⃣ Self-employment tax (the extra 15.3% most creators don’t see coming)

Once you understand these three buckets, figuring out how much to save each month becomes way easier and you avoid the surprise April bill that hits so many creators. by @joinottodotcom

Creators: if you want to keep more of what you earned this year, now is the time to act.

These 5 end-of-year moves can seriously shrink your tax bill - especially if your income jumped in 2024–2025.

A quick breakdown:
1️⃣ Prepay early-2025 expenses
2️⃣ Max your retirement contributions (Solo 401k / SEP IRA)
3️⃣ Grab every deduction you qualify for
4️⃣ Check if S-Corp status will save you on taxes next year
5️⃣ Clean up your books before January

Small moves → big tax savings.

Drop a “SAVE” if you want us to look at your numbers and see which of these apply to you. by @joinottodotcom

The best creative advice doesn’t always come from a book - it comes from conversations with people who’ve lived it. @liziphoenix shares how listening deeply to other artists has shaped how she sees herself, her work, and what’s possible.

Most freelancers and creators miss this one 👇

If you’re self-employed, the IRS expects you to pay taxes four times a year - not just in April.

It’s called quarterly taxes, and skipping them can lead to small (but annoying) penalties that stack up fast.

The good news? It’s not the end of the world - and definitely not “go to jail” vibes.

Just pay what you can, stay consistent, and set yourself up for the next due date.

Just because you’re creating all day doesn’t mean you’re feeding your creativity. @liziphoenix reflects on the importance of carving out space for your own body of work.
