This doesn’t sound worthwhile to me, and I’ve been setting up internships for students for many years. Use your instincts; they seem to ge good. Most companies would not see this as an internship; it doesn’t sound as if you are learning anything in the process, which is the whole point of an internship.
I agree that you would be far better off working in marketing for an existing company; certainly, there are plenty of them in Silicon Valley. Also, check with your school. Usually it doesn’t count as an internship unless some office on your campus has approved what you will be doing to ensure that it is not just a job, but something from which you would learn something about your field of study.

Is this internship worth it in the long run?
I just turned 20 and am a sophomore in college, and some guy who just graduated from my college recently told me about this "paid" internship. I am a bit unsteady about the lady looking for interns though…The thing is, she is around 60 yrs old, and obv. her ideas haven’t taken her anywhere yet…she wants to start a website where she sells articles to CEO’s*although the information isn’t anything special*…Every article that I write and is then bought I get $25…I highly doubt many articles will even be purchased though.
There are two other interns…the weird guy who graduated told me about it (, and this 50 yr old guy who (although he seemed to have had a nice career in the past) is doing it to get into Business.
I am going into business, marketing and advertising *minor*, and I dunno…I haven’t started any of my major or minor classes yet, but I just started this "internship," but am starting to feel it is a waste of time. Here are my concerns:
*The internship is for some lady’s website.
*Her idea seems pointless to me since most CEO’s are CEO’s because they already know how to do business…not to mention, the articles are NOT worth paying for.
*The lady is really disorganized and doesn’t seem to care: For instance, she told me to meet her at 1:00 for training…so I had to leave class early…and I waited for her until 1:15, called and left a message…well, I finally at 1:45 I read my email and notice she sent an email out just then stating 2:00 (although she sent me a private email stating 1:00)>:( She had her phone, but never called me back, and when I told her, she just laughed.
*She also doesn’t seem to know how to do things…like she will accidentally close her internet windows and have to reopen everything…but she insist on typing in the URL…through pecking…and will make a mistake so it takes around 5 minutes for her to get to a site. She also spells my name incorrectly half the time, and yesterday sent out an email telling me and her two other interns to meet her at this bar and she would buy us drinks. I emailed her and reminded her that I am underage along with an attachment of something she asked me to send. She sent THREE emails in response to my attachment, but said nothing about the bar…the meeting is tomorrow *she is last minute as well*
*I am studying abroad next year, and want to self-study *I like languages* Japanese before I go…and she waste sooo much time…I studied abroad before *high school* with no language experience, and if I had some beforehand, I would have been even more fluent -_-
It has only been a few days, but I am thinking maybe I should drop this internship and focus on one with an actual Marketing company next year when I start my business classes *I live in the Silicon Valley*
I am not sure if this internship is worth it…it sounds like a pyramid scheme, but what bothers me most is this lady is very incompetent and confusing *like she expects everyone to know what to do/to be available whenever she wants/etc*
I like the idea of an internship, and don’t mean to sound pessimistic, but I just get a weird feeling about this lady…
Thanks in advance and I hope I don’t come off as cocky or too mean!! ^____^
