Student Interns: The Real World Experience

As new interns at Curved Marketing, Shannon and I are quickly learning the importance of kinesthetic learning. Hi, I’m Kayla and I’m the newest intern at Curved Marketing and although I’ve only been here for a day, I can clearly see how the projects here pertain to in-class material. And to think, all this learning actually serves a purpose!

When I first walked into the office this morning, everyone was busy with their individual tasks, yet they dropped what they were doing to welcome me and make me feel at home. To start off the day, I learned how to evaluate article submissions through an article submission website. We quickly had to evaluate the articles based on relevance, format, and content and decide if the submission was accurate.

In school, we are required to write term papers and stay focused on the course topics while maintaining the reader’s attention. I felt that the skills that we have consistently learned during our scholastic careers have prepared me to analyze the articles effectively through the perspectives of both a student and a professional writer. This connection between two different mindsets answers the question that students have when struggling to get through a long school day: How does all this learning apply to me?

The learning styles in classrooms are primarily visual and auditory. Whereas here, the third type of learning style, kinesthetic, is utilized in order to apply the classroom material that was learned to relevant situations. It’s no longer about memorizing a bunch of facts; it’s about putting what you know into action. And that’s what the whole internship experience is about, right?

At the office, we’ve been thrown into the action with no field experience, and I feel I will benefit greatly because my skills are becoming more rounded with the experience. I just wonder what kind of professional I will become as I acquire more experience before I walk the stage at graduation.

How To Add Your Feed to Facebook

It seems that FaceBook no longer has the option to add your blog feed through the “notes” area of your account. However, if you go to http://www.twitterfeed.com and you can add your feed to Facebook from there, even if you do not want to add your feed to your Twitter account.

For instance, I use Twitter Tools, the plugin for my blog to update Twitter. I don’t want to update Twitter twice for the same blog post, so I don’t add that service to my TwitterFeeds account. But I am using it so that my blog updates FaceBook for me.

Any other suggestions on this?

Articles Into Knol Pages, Why It Works

Many people who are looking to advertise and bring attention to their business, think that building a website is the final marketing strategy needed to generate more customers and awareness for their business. Thinking like this will only limit the further business that could potentially be generated by knol pages, squidoos, social bookmarking, and more.

A great internet marketing strategy for all businesses with a website would be to create knol pages from articles to increases traffic to a home website. By turning an article into a knol page, you will have the ability to add hyperlink anchor text that will lead readers to more specific pages of your home website. Hyper link anchor text does not necessarily have to be words, though words are most commonly used. The use of anchor text is not an option with article directory submissions, which is why using Google knol pages is great to increase traffic to your home website while ranking well in the search engines.

A knol page can range from how-to’s and opinion papers, to explanations of products and their uses. When generating a knol page from an article, anchor text and backlinks in the article are linked to relevant content and a home site itself. Backlinks are links used to direct traffic towards a home site. The number of quality backlinks is an indicator of the popularity and importance of that site. Google in particular will give more credit to websites with more quality backlinks over fewer. Another advantage to backlinks is that by using quality anchor text, such as using keywords, can also increase the popularity of a home site.

Knol pages have many prosperous benefits for home site including but not limited to: answering customer questions, explaining a products use, having authors talk about your product or service, etc. By adding knols, or micro-sites, to an already established website, an increase in traffic and higher popularity of a website can be accomplished. Why limit yourself to one website, when you can have an endless number of websites marketing to your potential clients and audience all the time.

Well, I’ve begun to learn about blogging, article writing, review writing, social bookmarking, and HTML coding. All of these topics are generally new to me, but I’ve already found joy in my new atmosphere and the few publications I’ve already produced. Although my journey of learnring internet marketing skills has just started, I feel that I have much to contribute to Curved Marketing, current clients, and prospective clients. Thank you for such warm welcome to the company, I’m look forward to the future!
