So I have chosen the people, or rather maybe they have chosen me, to work with on our group project. We're trying to decide what to do for our project. Two of us, Steven and I own a company that we would like to use for the project and our group is ok with that. The problem we are running into is we aren't really sure what to do for the external sources requirement.
Our company is a Pay Per Click advertising consultation company. We are both certified in Google AdWords. We started the company early last year, and we do need to drastically improve our website. I think it would be a great opportunity for us to learn something in this class that we could apply towards our business, and I'm excited that I won't feel like I'm just doing another pointless project that will be forgotten at the end of the semester. I realize that the other projects were for learning, but it'll be nice to actually be able to use the output from this project for something in the real world.
The biggest issue we're facing when using our company for the project, like I said before, is finding external sources for the project requirements. One thing I had thought of was to maybe use some sort of calculator from Google or another site, if it exists, that people could put in their information, such as budget, how much they would make for each conversion, things like that. Then the calculator would calculate their ROI. I'm trying to think of other things, but we will have to get together again and see if there's anything we can come up with.

I can't tell you how excited I am that we are able to spend so much time towards creating an amazing web site. It will help a lot with also help from others and getting other opinions on what they think would be best. I am going to be thinking of another couple of external sources this week when I am away. I hope to have some good ideas when I get back this week.
ReplyDeleteI also would like to include LinkedIn to our site.
ReplyDeleteI don't see how to add a link to LinkedIn in a reply message.
Here is the link to my LinkedIn account.

John I agree with you and am in a similar situation. I was picked to join a team and didn't really feel like I had a choice but at the same time when you work well with a group of people the outcome is always known! But you and Steve have the right idea use what we learn when we learn it so that the project doesn't seem pointless and feel like a stack of papers in a binder come April.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any ideas for you but I know that whatever you all come up with it'll be good. So goodluck and hopefully we all figure out how to get through this semester alive.
