So my question - and my offer…

Why wait to learn these skills till after you graduate? The better time to learn them is RIGHT NOW while you’re still in school, where you (presumably) don’t have money concerns.

If you get the skills now, you can bypass the entry level jobs you don’t really want, and start competing for positions that you’ve already earned.

Think of a date who "just doesn’t get it".

Maybe it’s their social graces or maybe their idea of kissing reminds you of a hoover vacuum. Do you want to teach them what they don't know?

Now, if you had another date who’s just as cute/smart/fun, and they’re already on your level. Who would you pick?

That knowledge and experience - that’s what I’m offering.

A chance to build and grow one online startup.

By being an intern, you’ll get the following:

• Learning how to be an entrepreneur - with first-hand experience rather than just reading about it.
   
• Strategically planning, managing and writing social media posts. Instead of going to an interview and pointing to your personal Instagram, you'll be able to show how you help grow the business with social media marketing.
   
• Planning, creating and tracking inbound marketing campaigns. 
   
• Creating re-Markable content (blog posts, ebooks, infographics, animated videos, etc).
   
• Planning/designing a logo and branding from the ground up.
   
• Building SEO and practice backlink outreach.
   
• Creating content for an email drip campaign.
   
• You’ll also learn time management and how to work independently. In the real world, there’s no one taking attendance and giving you a study guide, so mastering your time and being able to produce results is an invaluable lifelong skill.
   
• We want to see you succeed, so I’ll share EVERYTHING we know about marketing and starting a business - along with the non-text books we’d recommend.

Speaking of, here’s the super abbreviated version of that exhaustive list:

And lastly, when you go for your big job interview - you can list our company as one of your professional references, and we'll give you a glowing testimonial.

If you can go into an interview with experience, already speaking their language and provide instant value - YOU'RE GOLDEN.

Because you’ll be able to complement your youthful enthusiasm and energy (which employers love) with professionalism and insight.

If you can do that, you'll be a superstar. Especially in marketing, where marketing managers and copy writers can be (at the minimum) five-to-ten years older than the audience they're trying to connect to.

You won't have to try, because that younger audience is you.

But being a superstar "youth translator" is dependent on being knowledgable and experienced.

That’s why every employer always lists how much experience they’re looking for - they don’t want to waste time teaching, they’d rather have someone who can immediately start contributing.

COMPENSATION

This position is unpaid... However the learning you'll receive will be invaluable.

The investment in yourself and your own growth will pay off when you can list your actual hands-on experience on your resume, and talk fluently in that first big interview.

So, who is the ideal candidate?

You should have the following:

• Strong writing skills.
   
• Self-starter / self-motivated, able to work independently with minimal oversight.
   
• Highly organized with exceptional atention to detail and proofreading capabilities. (Did you catch the typo of "attention"?)
   
• Outstanding attitude - you readily accept change, take initiative, and respond positively to suggestions and constructive criticism.
   
• Ability to work remotely (with your own phone, laptop and high speed internet access).... This is a 100% virtual position - you can work from home!
   
• Altruistic nature. You should be an overall good person, who wants to help people succeed and reach their dreams.

Preferable if you:

• Are in college (or recently graduated) and majoring in Marketing, Communications, or Business Administration
   
• Understand basic HTML

Our company isn't looking for a specific weekly time commitment, because as you’ll find out in your career, the more RESULTS and value you can provide, the more valuable you become.

So, we're looking for someone who can finish tasks and get results. That’s a better barometer than just an arbitrary amount of time like 20 hours per week.

We're marketing this position nationwide, and only going to bring on the two best candidates.

Please include the following:

• Cover letter explaining in one paragraph why you’re the best candidate. Like I said, we're advertising this post nationwide, so explain why I should go with you.
   
• Resume - with GPA
   
• Writing sample. This can be from your blog or a school paper

I can guarantee that committing just a couple hours a week, you’ll gain valuable learning and insight of how to start & build a company and what works and what doesn’t, which you would never quite get from a book.

Apply right now.

I look forward to hearing from you.
