I personally use the receipts-gem for Ruby which lets you easily generate PDFs.

So whenever Stripe creates a Charge, it will POST to my webhooks which creates the receipt PDF on-the-fly and emails it to the customer. It's pretty straightforward and very flexible.

Stripe recently introduced Billing for Europe with support for many tax-related issues. So it might be worth another look.

I'm not sure about a site dedicated to this, but as @aviaryan mentioned you can search on regular job boards and use the right filters.

For example, @levelsio's remoteok.io has a section dedicated to only remote internship jobs.

Having said that, I would advise against doing a remote internship. The beauty of an internship is that you get a chance to work with more experienced people and see what it's like to work at a company. I think by doing this remotely you lose out on much of that.

Yes. I use one for https://😁.to and we also have https://🚧.to for WIP.

Pros:

  • It's fun and makes you stand out from the crowd
  • It's short
  • Depending on the emoji it might be easy to remember

Cons:

  • Many browsers including Chrome don't show the emoji in the domain name
  • Technical support is lacking (e.g. I believe Slack doesn't auto-links emoji URLs)
  • It can be confusing to people unfamiliar with emoji domains
  • It probably doesn't help for SEO purposes
  • You're limited to a non-standard domain extension

Overall I would recommend using them only as a redirection URL (like 🚧.to), or when standing out outweigh the cons (e.g. for silly side projects).

Not everyone has added their location to the their profile though.

I PM'd everyone in Amsterdam, but unfortunately more than half of them weren't here #nomadlife

I do it occasionally through some Telegram groups I'm in with friends. For example, I share my gym progress with @levelsio @jelmerdeboer @flowen.

Business-related updates I share within some groups as well, including WIP. I actually built a feature called Product Updates for this specific purpose. It's still lacking in functionality, and therefor not widely used but I do 100% agree with the potential of sharing periodic updates.

As for it feeling "braggy", I really think it depends on who you share it with. If they share the same goals and it's a two-way street then it should be okay. For example, sharing my "new benchpress record" is fine in my gym group since other people are sharing as well. However, to share that in WIP, where people don't tend to share that kind of thing, might come across as braggy (although perhaps not with my records 😅). The other way around is true as well. Sharing my revenue numbers in WIP is acceptable, but sharing with non-maker friends is not-done.

So they know the number you quote is in fact valid? I've never been asked that question. As long as the results (e.g. clicks) seem legit, I think most advertisers will trust your word.

It's a bit like asking "what is the right price for a SaaS?"

The "SaaS" part, or ebook in your case, is just the format. Ultimately it's the value to the customer, their budget, and the competitive landscape that determine the right price.

I recommend checking the pricing of books targeting similar audiences. It doesn't mean their prices are correct, but if the author/publisher seems legit it might be a good starting point.
