Automation in the work environment

Have you ever wondered why certain coworkers seem to finish more work than you even though you're hustling constantly?

The answer, my friend, lies in work automation.

These last few weeks in my internship with a tech startup, I have been involved with a variety of projects. Our company is yet to automate the transfer of customer data into their email marketing program. As a result, I have been tasked with analysis of the customer data. I have to determine which email list the customer needs to be a part of.

This entire process could be handled by a one-time setup of an automation process. So what I have taken away from this, take the time to setup these processes because they will save me time in the future.

And as we all know... Time=Money

I Am Google Analytics Certified, Oh Yea

One of the goals within the Center of Digital Engagement Internship this summer was to become certified in at least one of the digital marketing certifications available. I chose to to certify in Analytics because I have had prior experience with Adwords and wanted to get my feet wet in Analytics. My Strategy On Passing The Exam So within the internship, Bud Gibson, who is a director with SPARK, suggested the fail until you pass method. Using this methodology, I took the test two times. Before taking it the first time, I studied all of the Google Partner resources relating to GA. The score of my first test was a 75%! So only 5% away from passing. An excellent way of learning Google Analytics is to apply the learning in real time. I installed Google Analytics within this blog and have been analyzing my traffic. This has been one of the best ways of learning how GA works. I continued to study the Google Partners resources and taking practice tests onli...

My Experiences With Google Adwords...So Far

Being A Non-Profit's Adwords Manager During the Winter 2017 semester at Eastern Michigan University, I took the Google Adwords and Webpage Design course. In this class we were split up into 4-person teams and paired up with non-profits. Throughout the course we created, managed, optimized campaigns and their ads. Our learning with Adwords emphasized Click-Through-Rates, quality score for keywords, and the copy on the ads. I enjoyed the process of creating a campaign. Finding out which keywords to bid for based on monthly searches and Cost-Per-Click, creating buyer personas, and optimizing the Ad groups after campaign launch. After the semester ended, we were given the opportunity to continue managing the Adwords account for the non-profit. I promptly emailed the professor and the marketing head of the non-profit, asking if I could continue working with them through the summer. Since then, I have been the Google Adwords Manager for The Preeclampsia Foundation...

Week 7: Website launch and email testing

Well it's been awhile since I have updated you on my internship at Mi Padrino. Since then, we have continued inputting vendors and optimizing the site. We have also created FAQ pages for the consumers and vendors, it was fun putting myself in their shoes and going through the website as if I was them. This is essential for website design design and the consumer experience. As the intern team, we have developed email and cold call copies that will be used by the sales team this fall. We have created multiple versions of copy for each stage of the outreach process so the sales team can choose which version to use. If they choose to, they can implement A/B testing to track what works better for each specific vendor and plan accordingly.
