A student at the University of Reading, studying an MSc in Advanced Computer Science. Graduated with a BSc in Computer Science with First-Class Honours from the University of Reading.
Hello and welcome to the blog. I’m Sam and as stated above, I am a student at the University of Reading where I am currently studying for my MSc in Advanced Computer Science.
Why am I doing this?
As part of my studies, I am taking a digital marketing module, which requires me to create a plan for running a blog and increasing the traffic to it using marketing techniques and analytics. As I am not a marketer, nor do I have any experience marketing, this will be a steep learning curve for me.
I figured that, being a Computer Science student, a blog themed around my field would be the optimal choice. I then considered advertisements that I had seen online, “Learn to code”, or “Become a programmer”, which prompted me to take this project down the educational route. This decision was strengthened from previous work I had done on YouTube, where tutorial videos tended to get more traction and views than any other video.
The goal of the assignment is to strategise growth and then implement a few of the strategies put forward, hopefully having analytical data to prove that the strategy has worked to some degree.
As a result, likes, shares, comments and subscriptions to any or all of the content produced in this project would be much appreciated.
