A recent study by the Round Table Group found that Americans between the ages of 18-24 were much more likely to use the Net as their primary information source over their older counterparts. Similarly, college students have greater access to the Internet. It is a good time for college students who are interested in becoming a part of the fast-growing Internet industry. A wealth of opportunities are available for students in a variety of interest areas. While each internship is unique, there are four primary focus areas.
Internet companies thrive on their ability to drive people to their sites.
Common responsibilities for an Internet marketing internship include building relationships, writing and distributing promotional materials, and developing strategies for driving traffic to a web site. Marketing and promotion internships vary depending on the type of company. As a result of the advanced technology of the Internet, some companies do not even require that marketing interns live in the same state. These interns are charged with promoting and marketing site services to other students while housed on their own college campuses. Some students may find these opportunities ideal if internships are scarce in their geographic region.
