Please take me seriously.
• My name is Raggy Lau. I love reading, fitness and hiking. I’m passionate about Entrepreneurship, Online Marketing & Analytics. And….
• I think you should hire me as an intern. This website/slideshare is my way of getting your attention and ultimately serve as an application as an intern position.
• I can babble here about my strengths and what I can do and what I cannot. I’d rather put the work in where my mouth is.
• The offer: I want to intern at 9GAG HQ in Hong Kong.
• What I want in return: Experience in either Business Development or Analytics and A/B testing . And of course an unforgettable experience at 9GAG!

• Who doesn’t want to work at a company that makes the world a happier place?
• I really like Ray Chan’s vision on 9GAG
• Superlarge database equals a lot of analytics / A/B testing
• 9GAG is based in Hong Kong!
• Joining a creative motivated entrepreneurial team in a startup (just look at all the leverage-use of the userbase)
• It’s not called “work.” It’s called building stuff and being recognized for your work. It’s a career held with fun.
• A lot of responsibility and freedom to come up with your own ideas and execute them
• A great company culture with a flat hierachy
• A great motivated team, that’s not afraid to work 10+ hours a day. Because they love building stuff.
• 9GAG – Related
– 9GAG’s infinite scroll: Speaks for itself. A quick visit on the website will turn into hours of fun on 9GAG.
– Ads that doesn’t interrupt the user experience on the website
– Social component is perfectly integrated
– The consistency of the overall website is amazing, very great UXD – no negative points
• Non-related
– Mashable.com (New Design): The social component is (much) more noticable
– Basecamp.com: When you enter the website it is immediately clear of what Basecamp does (even without scrolling).
– Apple.com: Very clean design and easy to navigate (especially when you have that many products). Also please note about the text, which triggers an visitor emotion.
• With the goal to increase the user engagement/ARPU/LTV per user, I can see 9GAG doing this in the future:
– A point-system for the users (across all 9GAG’s platform)
– Build a marketplace for funny stuff (like thinkgeek.com), points can be exchanged here
– Have a “login with 9GAG-account” API ready for more userbase-leverage use
– A (seperate) social games platform, which can be logged in with your 9GAG account – like the Facebook Games Platform
