How should I manage small revenue coming in from several platforms like Kmong and Soomgo?

Tracking small revenue from several platforms like Kmong and Soomgo individually without consolidating it is a common way people end up filing without knowing their actual annual revenue. Platform usage fees are recognized as necessary expenses since they're spending incurred to earn revenue, and font and stock image license purchases are recognized as well, so we recommend gathering settlement statements from every platform as documentation, consolidating your revenue in one place, and filing under the appropriate simplified-bookkeeping or double-entry bookkeeping standard.
