Some Really Boring Stuff
This week I had to learn stuff about being an adult. Well, not that I didn’t know of these things previously, but I was forced to stress about it. This week we talked about acquiring business licenses and figuring out taxes. Fun. Fun. Fun.
To say the least, I spent about 3 hours reading articles on business entities, licenses, which ones to get, when to get it, and what applies to my blog business. I learned it was very different to get licenses here in the Philippines and in the United States.
One thing I did figure out is I do not need to acquire any license yet, unless I want to register my business name and be formally recognized as a “web business” under a sole proprietorship. I will do that, but there are other things to worry about first: building the website and getting it out there. Get traffic, grow enough until we can get people clicking on affiliate links. It’s technically not a business yet until we are earning.
At the end of this week, the dreaded project 2 is due. I was like: what?! Two weeks to build a website with everything on it? What, do I suddenly have all the time in the world? Kidding. But I did try my best, and hopefully it’s good enough. It took me hours. HOURS.
However, it was pretty fulfilling. It’s a great opportunity to be in such a class where they expect you to do and figure out everything by yourself. Again, just kidding! It’s a great learning experience. It made me have some form of carpal tunnel, but I know it’ll be worth it.
