Details

Squash.io is a DevOps platform that allows software developers to quickly deploy their web apps for testing purposes. We currently have many companies in our platform, including names like NASA, Wagtail and New York Public Radio.


We would like to collaborate with students to create blog posts that drive more traffic to our website.

This will involve several different steps for the students, including:

  • Familiarizing themselves with our goals, target market, products and services.
  • Recommending topics for our blog posts.
  • Drafting blog posts relevant to our business.
  • Revising blog posts based on feedback.


Bonus steps in the process would also include:

  • Recommending ways to market our blog.


The blog posts are not going to be technical (i.e, you do not need any knowledge of software development). Our goal is to create blog posts containing statistics or trends related to technology in general. We will provide all the tools you need to do your own research. The only skills you need are: curiosity, ability to research information using the web and writing outstanding content.

Deliverables

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

  • Familiarity with our goals, target market, products and services
  • Recommendation of blog post topics
  • Drafts for relevant blog posts
  • Revisions of blog posts

Bonus steps would include:

  • Recommending blog marketing strategies

Final deliverables should include

  • Blog posts.
Mentorship

Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

  • Our goals, target market, products and services
  • Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter.
  • We will also provide students with tools for researching data for this project.
