In 2016 and 2017 (when this site was my main business), I was fortunate enough to have a wonderful marketing intern, Colleen. Initially, I was concerned because it was an unpaid internship but the facts that a.) she could do it remotely around her schedule and b.) she received school credit eased my mind. I filled out some paperwork for her school before giving her projects and learning materials. She did what I asked and we would talk when needed \u2013 to explain new projects and if she had any questions. It was a great experience and I gave her an \u201cA\u201d in the class. It was a win-win!

I\u2019m a big fan of internships overall though and have had several over my lifetime. They help you figure out whether a potential career is a good fit or not. During high school, I interned at a school because I thought that I wanted to be a teacher. That\u2019s when I realized that I\u2019m not a morning person\/can\u2019t deal with a bunch of people first thing in the morning. Then I interned at a lawyer\/politician\u2019s office because I thought that I might want to be a lawyer because I had a strong sense of justice. That was a \u201cno\u201d. In college, I continued my internships. I was in Arista\u2019s Publicity department. A highlight was talking to THE Aretha Franklin. I realized that the music business was not for me though. I didn\u2019t have the \u201cear\u201d for it. (I thought that Usher and TLC were going to be one-hit wonders?!) I also worked at a talent agency because I loved the theater and thought that I might want to be an agent. That industry is brutal though. The things that were said about some of my favorite actresses\u2026no thank you! Well, I didn\u2019t end up doing any of those careers BUT I saved a lot of time figuring out what I DIDN\u2019T want to do which is valuable.

Internships are on my mind because this past week, I was introduced to GenM<\/a>. It\u2019s a platform for entrepreneurs (like bloggers!) and small businesses to find and hire an unpaid student marketing intern for a 3-month remote digital marketing internship as part of the intern\u2019s certification training. The intern will work with you for 5-10 hours a week over 3 months. If you have any marketing tasks (i.e. website, social media and\/or blog updates) that are constantly on your \u201cto-do\u201d list, then a marketing intern is a great option. It\u2019s important to note that while the internships are unpaid, there is<\/strong> an $89 monthly fee to access the tools and intern marketplace if you decide to work with GenM<\/a>.

You can learn more about how to save up to ten hours a week on your marketing tasks on the GenM<\/a> website. <\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
