Life of an SEO / Social Media Intern









Hello my name is Vanessa, and I am an SEO / Social Media intern at Online -- Goa.  My day starts with hitting the snooze button the fifth time before finally waking up and dashing through my morning chores. I wait for my car pool buddies to pick me up after incessantly calling them to know their whereabouts.

I reach the office by 9:30 am and the first thing I do is run for my cup of coffee to get my creative juices flowing. I start my work by first checking my mails. Nothing new today other than a few SEO related links sent for reference by our Director. I check the ranking of the page I am currently working on, its up by 5 %. In my head I am dancing like an oompa loompa. I show off
around a bit until I get bogged down with more work (serves me right for showing off).

Honestly though I don’t mind it, I love my job. My company treats me like family and however nerdy it may sound I love being here.

For a couple more hours I do some link building, posting on blogs (praying and hoping that all the generous bloggers out there don’t moderate my post) I try and make my posts interesting and helpful. I write a few blogs for my projects, get them approved for publishing.

The rumbling in my stomach tells me that it’s time for lunch and so I peel myself off from my screen and grab a sandwich or whatever my colleagues have got for me today. After lunch I meet with the designer and discuss about the content for website of another client. Then comes my favorite part blogging and social media networking. Here I research on related interesting content for our clients social networking pages. Every like or share of my content gets my pulse racing.
New strategies are made, goals are realized and knuckles are cracked. Reports are generated in the background while designs and content are tweaked in the foreground. Its 7 pm and the end of the day draws near; project tasks are updated and notes are shorthanded in the continuous life cycle of an SEO-That’s me!
