For me personally this is one of those cases where because I am so familiar with Xano that it would be the tool I use to handle something like this, but at the same time I believe this is doable with one or all of the technologies you mentioned. I like the idea of using N8N because as you mentioned it is open source and figuring that out could open the doors to other great, low-cost solutions. @Mario Haarmann when it comes to N8N you are the first person who comes to mind for me - if you have any ideas please feel free to share here! In principal, can N8N be used to create the automation/workflow Damian has described?

@Kyleen Lontoc It is most likely going to be in the classroom section of this community! But do not worry I will make a specific post and make sure you see it when I have the steps ready :)

Hey @Daniel Migizi! Great questions! Here are some of my thoughts and suggestions: Business Structure: - LLC (Limited Liability Company): Provides personal liability protection and is relatively easy to manage. In the U.S., an LLC is typically a pass-through entity for tax purposes, meaning the profits and losses pass through to your personal tax return. However, you can choose to have your LLC taxed as a corporation if that suits your needs better. - It's always a good idea to consult with a tax expert or business advisor before setting up your business. They can offer tailored advice based on your specific situation. - Services like Stripe Atlas can help you set up a business in Delaware, and they probably cover what 99% of businesses would need. Check out https://stripe.com/atlas for more details on that, I think it would be helpful so see their definition of what most businesses need! Financial and Legal Aspects: - Contracts: Essential for defining the scope of work, payment terms, and other key details. I can share a standard contract template that I use, which you can adjust to fit your needs. - Payment Terms: A common practice is to take 50% upfront and the remaining upon completion. Using platforms like Stripe for automatic payments can help manage this smoothly. - Selling digital products involves different considerations, such as handling refunds, customer support, and ensuring your terms of service and privacy policy are clear. - Platforms like Shopify or Gumroad can streamline the process of selling digital products and handling payments. General Tips: - Standard Documents: Having a set of standard documents and protocols can save you a lot of time and hassle. These should include contracts, invoices, and any legal disclaimers. I am happy to share some of the documents which I use. - Automate Payments: Tools like Stripe can automate payments and reduce the headache of chasing down invoices.
