        It’s still something not sure, maybe 1 month you get a lot the next month less. I mean you don’t have financial security of a fixed payment that lets you to plan future and maybe travels.

        I think I can’t never be comfortable receiving this kind of “salary”. Almost like influencer/streamer careeer, it’s not sure you earn every month the same and if the platform changes things you take big consequences.

          As a self employed contractor I can confirm, the lack financial security of a fixed payment is a problem and it can be hard. I’ve example had limited income for the last 1 and a half year because of health problems, but what I did to buffer this was to give myself a fixed salary every month. The rest stayed on a seperate account. So I had a sizeable funds ready in case if something would happen. (no contracts, health problems, etc). I lived on those funds for more than a year so I would think that’s a decent buffer.
