    Experiences with payment providers that act as a Merchant of record

    TAXES | REGS 
    I completely agree with everything. Thank you for taking the time to write out these posts. I'm going to sell software for a 20-30€ ticket range. I did research yesterday, read all the docs and ran the numbers, and decided on Paddle as well. My last two finalists were Paddle and Lemonsqueezy...

    Experiences with payment providers that act as a Merchant of record

    TAXES | REGS 
    I'm just trying to get something out there so I can start doing stuff with digital products I want to sell (B2C). I want someone else to be the Merchant of the record because I want to offload tax liability from myself, save time and resources. I literally want to start selling a Blender plugin...

    Experiences with payment providers that act as a Merchant of record

    TAXES | REGS 
    I'm figuring out a payment provider to use. I can't use Stripe or Paypal, because they complicated my tax obligations by a lot, and I have to deal with that then. So I'm researching payment provider that handles payment processing, acts as a merchant of record and handles VAT stuff. My Tax...

    My lord, I just witnessed a murder. I know this is a waste of time to follow, but goddamn, Kendrick Lamar went in. All the hip hop shit this year is wild. It's insane that all the wild conspiracy theories I've read under underground hip hop Youtube videos when I was a kid are coming true. I...

    Easy, you have 2 unfair advantages. You are 14 and you have a bunch of free time. From Monday to Friday create one new design in Figma or something else. On Saturday take the best out of those 5, polish it and create a static website that you can host for free on Cloudflare or Digitalocean. Do...

    If You Work Remote at a Job, Listen To This Advice.

    IDEA 
    To be clear, this is not directed at you. This is more directed at all the younger people here who may take this as advice. Especially since I see that people liked that post. I disagree with this completely, and I feel strongly about this. I have no credentials yet that say I'm some super...

    If You Work Remote at a Job, Listen To This Advice.

    IDEA 
    Maybe this is my limiting belief, and maybe this is the reason I'm still not business wise where I want to be, but this is a terrible strategy. Bottom of the keg terrible. I didn't want to reply last night, but today I'm genuinely interested in what more successful people than me think on this...

    Hey man, you are 14. Your brain literally only started working few months ago, you have quite literally whole life ahead of you. Pick something that you can do today and start doing it. You will fail. A lot. But that's a part of the game, as long as you learn. When I was 14, only things I...

    How do you journal ?

    MINDSET OFF-TOPIC 
    I simply add stuff when I need it. Daily journals and weekly reviews go into Calendar dir, new notes that are added by default to Inbox dir, and everything that I consider handled goes into Atlas dir. I have few maps of contents, nothing special, it was inspired by Linking your thinking guy...

    How do you journal ?

    MINDSET OFF-TOPIC 
    Yeah I went through that phase shortly, but ended up doing moving away from it because it annoyed me too much. I will never go back to any top down system ever again. I'm doing my hacky version of a private digital garden. I just write daily and whenever something pops up. Once a week, when I'm...

    How do you journal ?

    MINDSET OFF-TOPIC 
    I write daily using Obsidian. I don't have any complicated structure, I just write things I'm grateful for and then write out all the bullshit I want to get out of my head. I used to write 3 things I would do that day, but now I do that the night before. Sometimes I feel like I took a good...

    How To Attack Bad Habits With Inconvenience (DIGITAL VERSION)

    MINDSET 
    It's not clunky, it's just the way computers work. Hosts files are available in every OS, this works in Windows, MacOS and Linux. There are other apps that can do that "less clunky" but you are sacrificing security of your computer for something that takes you 5 minutes to learn. Theoretically...

    Tin Foil Hat Time: Are Aliens Here?

    HOT! 
    I think it was my grandfather, or some of his friends that told me this when I was a kid. Guys that lived through WWII in Eastern Europe, and various "fun" regimes, stuff we can't even imagine. Sometimes the question should be, if this is on the news, what isn't? I personally subscribe to Dark...

    Question for business owners about communication when hiring freelancers

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I figured out what was going on. Some time ago, I clicked on LinkedIn Open to hire and selected Contractor. I thought that was a signal I'm open to be hired as a freelancer. What I didn't know at the time was all the language differences listed above, that contractor means something else. Also...

    Well, you already invested the time, and if it works for you both, then that's the only thing that matters. I'm definitely scarred by stuff I've seen, all the examples in my previous post are real events that happened haha

    If you need something quick you use some of the SaaS website builders. If you want something that will serve the content secure and fastest way possible, you have to use some kind of static file generators/caching/CDN. If you want full control, you have custom websites for that. If you need...

    They are in a completely different class of product, Hugo is a framework and a tool, Wordpress is a general purpose platform. Hugo is only serving static files and Wordpress is fully dynamic. That means that if you want to do some dynamic stuff in Hugo, you have to use some external APIs. If...

    Question for business owners about communication when hiring freelancers

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I'm talking to another person on Linkedin, and I'm confused again with the language. I specifically said I'm a freelancer, the person replied with what seems to be B2B contracting in line with BounceBack wrote above. If I understood it correctly this is basically a job offer, but we call it a...

    I don't know anything specific about your situation, but I do know that starting over at 56 will be harder than at 55. Wish you all the best in whatever you decide.
