MKG203 Instructions

You are required to create a professional online blog using professional blog software.You are required to set up one (1) blog online and submit one (1) post to it reflecting on current issues and practices in digital marketing. 

The online blog URL needs to be included in a Word document, along with the post and the references used and uploaded as a submission to Blackboard. Please note that while the online blog is what will be assessed, you are still required to upload this Word document with references as a university copy.

For the blog post, you are encouraged to use hyperlinks when referencing online sources as well as in-text referencing of other sources. All images or figures /tables used in the posts should be referenced. You can use a creative blog writing style and presentation style congruent with the professional blogs you are reading online. For example, when referring to a statistic /quote hyperlinking to the source; when referring to an important video, embedding it into the post; including images to support the text; completing the basic details the blog platform offers including: a title for the blog, header image, completing the about us and/or description section briefly. 

This is not an academic paper as such, but you do need to validate your insights with support from quality references or sources.  As a guide, the post should draw on at least three independent reference sources that should be referenced according to the latest  APA  referencing style at  the end of the blog. Students are encouraged to engage with subject resources, essential readings and the Torrens University Library as a starting point for research for all Assessments.  

The blog post should be approximately 600  words  (+-10%)  in length. The creative set-up of the professional blog and description /about you is equivalent to the other 600 words.
