Both sides of the Uber.
Rider and driver. There is a game to win

I categorized this as CS major, Chief Revenue Officer. This should not intimidate you because bit.ly/ubermmpqq is laid out so easily a 7th grader could do this

The problem goes in this box of “Business Model Generation”. So the problem = Uber drivers drive around and me very low wages per hour.
Solution: Make more money as an Uber driver by doing lead generation.

“A perfect, perfect ride is where a first time Uber driver drives using your referral code”

Certain addresses have got to be more airport-trip-likely. eg #757Market #180Hamilton #520Cowper #98SanJacinto @LarryChiang

Larry Chiang (@LarryChiang)
specific addresses must be super-short-trips ie Coffee shop, grocery store, central valley Rub and Tug

Driver revenue maximization. Do #leadGen and sell the bottled hope thats driving-for-Uber. Make $300 per Referral
@LarryChiang


Larry Chiang (@LarryChiang)
printing your referral code on a plain white business card is a start.
#cs183uber is about new business ac creation @LarryChiang

Tons of fossils in the 925 can’t find the app store, so they ask.

so the #leadGen idea is this. You drive in a territory that has a spiff to find drivers. Then blog about addresses & hacks.
