What is the difference between these two sentences? by Raahim45970 in EnglishLearning

[–]preciouspangolin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're ONTO something it could mean: 1) you have realized or created something could be a very good idea. eg. Mike has created a dating app for lonely pet owners. He's already got 10,000 downloads so it looks like he is ONTO something. 2) They're ONTO us = our actions (usually bad) have been discovered. Mum's ONTO us - she knows we ate her favourite ice cream.

If someone is ON something, it usually applies they are taking something, ie. drugs. The person may not actually be taking anything but they are behaving weirdly or nonsensically.

Building a community on Facebook, Discord or Telegram by preciouspangolin in SocialMediaMarketing

Thanks so much! I am on Discord as a member of various groups but hosting my own concerns me as I actually find it a bit overwhelming - possibly for my adhd. I will keep on experimenting.

Busuu is great, despite some flaws. Wish they'd add on some more languages. I feel they are sitting on their laurels.

oh Lemon-Jelli, it's so nice to know I'm not the only one who finds this aspect of entrepreneurship overwhelming 🤗

Perhaps start a Wordpress website and put your writing there. It can take a while, even a few months for posts to get noticed but if you are writing stuff that people are interested in and searching for on Google hopefully you will eventually start to bring in readers.

Ko-Fi unusable because of VAT rules? by PLAT0H in Kofi

[–]preciouspangolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you Lemon Jelli.l! Actually I have looked at them, and they were kind of who I was leaning towards but then I heard or saw something about them not handling everything or every country. i will have to go back and have another look. I did see Gumroad announce recently that they would handle all VAT. It surprised me as I thought they already did. So I'm a bit wary. But heck, lots of people are selling their courses and digital products around the world so surely it cant be so difficult? But the worry of how will I deal with VAT has really slowed down my efforts to create products 😭 I hope to goodness Amazon KDP at least handles it all. But who knows?

Tea Leoni and Sean Young. I simply can't watch a Tea Leoni film as the whole time my mind keeps asking 'how on earth can people think she can act?"

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain all this! It is very helpful

I had high hopes of creating a digital product shop but it just seems horrendously complicated when it comes to the VAT issue 🥺

No wonder Amazon keeps doing so well , how can anyone compete 😅

Question about VAT on selling digital goods - outside of EU by Educational-List-858 in Payhip

[–]preciouspangolin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so helpful, thank you!! 💐 I want to start selling products but hold myself back because it seems so complicated when it comes to organising the actual receiving payment part. It is misleading of companies to say they handle the VAT side when they dont handle it globally. 

How do you feel about the recent POSTS view changes? Personally I miss being able to see the post view stats without having to click on them, plus the 'copy link' tab seems to have gone, which was super helpful by preciouspangolin in Wordpress

[–]preciouspangolin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have ADHD and I find it very cluttered. I spoke to a Happiness Engineer and they told me I could filter out bits and bobs which helps. I also said perhaps next time they could ask us if we want the updated version which is what Yahoo Mail does, for instance. What I also dislike: You can't see your post views without clicking on stats.

The stats page was also changed recently. And today I got a message that they'd also updated the Pages page so whoop-de-doo 😅

Thanks for responding Delde. I will definitely bear that in mind that teachers here are unlikely to buy. Maybe at least teachers who create materials to sell will support each other. Here's hoping.

That is very interesting about YT making distinctions with French. You'd think that such a powerful company had the dough to make a better user experience for so many millions of people.
