I also came across an in-depth of making a website, and I spent some good time there messing around with the features, and creating a prototype website.
Today at Techie Youth I advanced on the elective unit Entrepreneurship and Leadership. I focused on the sections of "How to set up a legal business entity" and "Branding". I learned the difference between a corporation and a sole proprietorship and based on what I learned, I would rather own a corporation as it runs less risks.

Today I spent time wrapping up the "providing services" section. I visited more websites that explored ways to make money on your own with your skills. I reviewed the quizzes and the assignment I did. I plan on moving on to a different elective now.
Today I did not work for too long because I was having connectivity issues. However, I did manage to complete my assignment for the elective and loved the results. I created a website that promotes my skills and it turned out really good.
Today I worked on the last few parts of the elective "providing services". I learned about some other job options one can do on their own. Such include web designing and modeling.

However, I mainly focused on learning Data Entry skills and how to master this skill.
Today I finished my Virtual Assistant elective with its' assignment. I made a website promoting myself and my skills that would make me a good virtual assistant. I used Wix, and this website was pretty easy to use. I did try to use Wordpress but it got too complicated for me, so that's why I switched to Wix. I am very proud of my results and will definitely be taking advantage of this new tool.
Before I start on the assignment, I decided to visit the sites that hire Virtual Assistants to learn more about the hiring process. This was all I focused on today so I didn't work for many hours. There were many websites so I just took my time exploring each and one of them. Overall, I learned that applying to be a Virtual Assistant is not very difficult, you just need to fill out the online applications from the websites. Many not that difficult either, but others do require more work.
Today was kind of a slow day but still very productive. Didn't get as many hours as I wanted because I was struggling to understand the website building part. I took notes on the video but will definitely have it up while I'm making the website. Before getting there though, I reviewed the job description of being a virtual assistant to take the quiz which will be helpful for when I start the assignment.
Today I learned more about being a virtual assistant. I went over managing each social media platform, including Instagram, YouTube, Canva, and Facebook. Adding onto this, I wasn't very familiar with Facebook before this, but I was able to understand how to manage business page and use its' tools to the fullest potential. I also went over literacy and how to use proper grammar etc. Here, I played games, as part of the assignment, in which I went over English words with different names in other English speaking countries. Also a game in which I had to point out the grammar errors and fix them.
