Today i have been tying to create a niche website but its been a little difficult. I mostly reviewed everything n the niche website unit so i just have to do the assignment.
Today i added as much details as i could for the business assignment i added what i will be making and what i wanted it to look like and how how im going about reaching my goal for the business.
Today I fully completed my business assignment with the help of the feed back from the first time I posted it. After completing I'm starting to feel like I could actually do it. It wouldn't be hard.
Today I posted my ideas for my business although I know it needs some more work with the prices and cost. My business is a small business that will be selling little nick knack and accessories that will have my drawing and other printed on them.
Today I was a little late do to internet troubles. I've been working on the business unit and brainstorming ideas for the assignment. I already have and idea of what i want the business to be, I want it to be a simple buisness where i sell my art. I already have half of the paper done and will complete it Monday once i have all my ideas and details together
Today i went over the selling digital goods unit. I went over creating digital assets and selling digital assets as well as advertising. I learned about game development and how hard it was, I find coding challenging.
Today at Techie Youth I completed the computer designed objects assignment. i was unable to finish the digital art in Krita because I simply did not have the tools to finish it. I jut have this laptop I am working on and completing it this way would just take too long. I took the image of the drawing and edited it in a photo editor to give it some color, finally I posted it on Saachi along with the other art piece.
Today I've been working on the selling computer designed objects assignment. I was able to use Kira on my computer and the tutorials under it showed me how i could take a traditional drawn piece of art and import into Kira where I can make it digital art. the second tutorial is showing me how to paint, being that my drawing is in black and white it would look better if it had color. the only downside to that is how time consuming it is, this is definitely going to take me a while until I finish it. Once its done I can post on my Saachi account.
Today I finished my drawing and posted it on saatchi art. I put a clear reference to techie youth in the art the art piece and put the link to the website in the description.
I did have trouble with the other websites but saatchi was the one that worked out iin the end.
Today I went back to the selling art online unit to complete the assignment and went over the tutorials on how to sell art. So now I am going to take this weekend to make a new art piece that I'm going to make for Techie Youth instead of using my pre-existing artwork and put that online. I already started and will be posting it Monday once its done!
Today I fully completed the analysis assignment. I also had fun learning about the clothing, fashion, jewelry and wearable-tech. I like things that involve arts in craft because its my favorite hobbies and my talent as i shared before so is was really entertaining to say the least.
Today I revised my assignment I did yesterday and posted it on by blog, I also finished another assignment and completed and passed two quizzes. I learned about STLC too.
Today i have completed an assignment basically giving my ides on how to expand on one of techie youths causes, which is helping the foster youth and mainly the aged out foster youth. I posted it on my twitter page and provided the link to my suggestion and to the techie youth website.
today I learned about insurance which is basically making sure that all of your products are working as they should be, also learned about accessibility quality which is making sure that customers can use your product regardless of abilities or disabilities.
Today i learned about coding and some more web development. i toook a quiz planning and passed it on the first try. I also re-took my other quiz "Product Manager: R
Today I learned about business analysis and recruiting. i Read quite a few articles about it and watched some videos too. I also learned about modeling, I found out that models who are out their looking to be signed can get easily scammed by con artist looking to take their money.
Today I learned about what project manager and a product manager is and what they do. I like the idea of being a product manager more than a production manager because a project manager has to deal with the entire project which is multiple departments while a product manager just focuses on the product and it could be a little fun depending on what the product is.
Yesterday i saw unable to log in due to an urgent family matter, but im here today. Today i learned about robotics and A.I technology.
Today i learned about video editing and it seems easy. I thought about how the youtubers i watch edit their videos or how the hire video editors. Videos editing is what really makes the video enjoyable.
today i watch a bunch of videos on web building, the only thing that I'm struggling with is the coding. I tried coding my freshman year of high school and it wasn't the best, but I'm going to try it again. If i want a website to sell my art then I'm going to have to make it.
today i learned about music production, making beats and about being a DJ. I like the ted talk demonstration with the DJ mixing beats it was fun to watch. I'm not really a huge music fan myself but this unit was still fun to do
today i learned about creating mobile apps. if i were to make a mobile app i would make one for art games. i like to play art games so thats the first thing i would make
Today marks my 3rd week at Techie Youth and I did a unit about entrepreneurship. A lot of the people I saw are very successful in their fields and they are their own bosses. Personally I don't I would want to become an entrepreneur because I'm not much of leader simply for the fact that I don't want to be responsible for others. I'm just a worry about myself kind of person but not in a selfish way.
Today I learned about selling my art online. I want to start small and see how that goes, the only challenging part about that if making something that people would want to buy. That's just my problem though I can learn marketing and all that stuff but the art end of it is what has me nervous.
Today I learned about self improvement and and health. I made a list for the assignment today and intend to take it seriously and work on them one by one.
Today I learned about time management. Time management is a big thing for me because I really procrastinate a lot. I find myself doing this a lot when I have about one or two things to do in the week. Because i have the whole week to do something I just keep putting it off for the next day until its the last second and then I panic and rush. I am going to start planning out my days with a planner and get my priorities out the way first before I start relaxing.
Today I learned about stocks and the different types of trading. I didn't that there was different types of trading I thought it was just one type of standard trading trading. I think in the future I should start investing.
Today marks my 3rd week at Techie Youth! Today I learned about saving money and how you can live with just the basics, all the extra stuff like fancy clothes and accessories are not necessary. They pointed out that Food, utilities, transportation are important but for me entertainment is really important. I just can not be bored, I have to be entertained during my free time haha
Today I learned about Scams. I learned that not every remote job that you see online is legit and it's somewhat easy to get scammed. I also learned about being a entrepreneur today and I got my LinkedIn account back so that's good.
Today I learned about job interviews and work etiquette. The first video I watched was a job interview simulation. The man in the video would ask questions and then wait for a response and that was the que for the viewer to speak. I played along and quickly realized I need to work on articulating my words, speaking up and clearly because I sometimes slur my words and I have a bad habit of saying yea instead of yes. These are somethings that I really need to work on especially socializing which I find difficult.
Today was kind of slow, part of assignment I worked on wanted me to google myself and see what comes up. The purpose of that was to see if anything bad or inappropriate came up because once you apply for a job that's what most of the jobs do before they hire you. The only thing that came up for me was some old Facebook account that I had forgot about. Later I completed another assignment that wanted me to follow like and share Techie Youth on all platforms. That took way longer than it should've because LinkedIn was giving me a hard time, I typed in my password in wrong a couple times and they had to this security measure asking for my ID....that was annoying but I got it done
Today in the writing unit I learned about technical writing and one of the links in that unit was speed typing test. That test was fun at first but I couldn't even get to the average speed... I guess typing fast isn't one of my strengths. Later today i completed another assignment and did a campaign to bring awareness to Techie Youth and its causes, I even posted it on twitter
Last entry I did concluded my first week at Techie Youth, today marks my second week and its going good. Today I learned about SEO backlinks, customer service and guess blogging. Out of those three things guess blogging is what I had a little interest in, it just seems easier than guess blogging.
Today I learned about book publishing. I learned that to publish your book you first have to decide if you are going to do it traditional or indie. The traditional authors kind of have it rough because they don't have as much creative control over their own book, they have to answer to their publishers. I also know that New York Times is really bias against indie authors, which I find unfair. Even if the author book gets published there is still many obstacles to go through like if people don't by their book or if they get dropped by their publisher for any reason.
This is my third day with Techie Youth and I think I'm getting the hang of it now. I finished two assignments today, one of which I had to make my own website. Making my own website fun especially since the assignment told me post my talents on the site, like a portfolio. My talent is making traditional art, that just means art that isn't digital although I do want to start that as well. Posting my art online was new to because i never shared my art with the public like that before. I only ever showed my art to my class or to my family, but to just put it out there in the world like that I realized that I wanted to put more of my art out there.
Today is my second day on Techie Youth and I'm still finding out things to do remotely.
Creating a membership site seemed interesting to me but I don't know if I really have the skill to teach people something. My talents are drawing and painting but when I do those things I just "do them" if that makes sense. I don't follow any step by step rules on how to draw, However when watching one of Eric's YouTube videos he mentioned selling art online and most importantly doing what you love for a job. In doing the digital assets unit I was please to find out there are a multiple ways to do that, while even being a digital nomad!
This is my first day with Techie Youth and honestly a little shocked with how much you can do and how much you can earn just from working at home. One of the things
I learned about that really has me interested is Digital Nomadism. Being a digital nomad sounds so freeing, being able to travel and work wherever you are and make money all at the time. I never knew a career like this even existed I always thought having a good career would be working at some office with a bunch of people in the same building dat after day, but being a digital nomad sounds perfect to me. Plus I never really been much of a people person my self so working remotely really has me pulled in.
