Week 3 Learnings

 This week we had the opportunity to dive into more business models and learn about what goes into them. we learned about affiliate business models and drop shipping models. After reading about the two models, I really liked learning about the affiliate model. Basically, it’s a model where you advertise other companies’ products and try to drive traffic to that website. It’s very easy to use and can help raise awareness and sales. A drop-shipping model is where you sell different products on your website and have people purchase those products through a third-party website. Both are great models, but I really like the affiliate model the best. It requires more patience and it’s a bit slower to start up, but it has the potential to reap a lot of rewards. Drop shipping is a little risky because you’re going through a third-party website and there could be some conflicts if people want to return their products.

Week 12 Learnings

  This week I learned more about SEO but also how to include Social Media into the mix. Social media marketing is something that is a huge passion of mine so this was a very enjoyable week for me. I decided that in order to increase traffic to Target’s website and to raise sales there. I want to make a couple of posts on my social media telling people to go check out my website and to check out Target’s website as well. My main goal this entire semester has been to increase Target’s traffic and to create more awareness for Target’s website. By using social media, I can continue to make this come to pass. I also am working on creating a healthy balance between the paid social media posts and the organic posts. In my opinion, I should have more organic posts rather than paid posts. Mostly because all I am doing is raising awareness.

Week 6 Learnings

  This week was an interesting week. So, I got my website up and running but ended up having to use Wordpress instead of Squarespace. No big deal, I’m more familiar with Wordpress. We learned about legal business models this week and what we need to do to obtain it. As far as I know, the one I should be using is an LLC or limited liability company. This means, I’m not liable for my own assets as I am only advertising what Target is selling. That takes some weight off of my shoulders. However, I was reading a few articles and it said that the best one would be a sole proprietorship. I’m going to stick with the LLC though because I feel like it would be easier for me to do and learn. I’m excited to start this but I’m also kind of nervous. I’m hoping that I can figure this out and make sure I’m doing it legally.

Week 9 Learnings

This week was a good week. I installed Google Analytics and Google Ads onto my website and linked them together. I’m very excited to be tracking exactly how my website is doing and how I can improve on awareness and interactions. I also want to make sure that my Quality Score is at a good number and I know what I need to do to improve it if necessary. I want to make sure that people are able to use my website on a mobile device. This is one of the biggest ways that I can have a good quality score. A lot of my people will be using their mobile devices to do their shopping so making sure that the website is set up for the mobile devices will be essential. Also, making sure that I’m keeping track of how my website is doing and make improvements where I need to.
