You’ve got a bad case of FOMO…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
But you also have student debt to pay down so going to south by was out of the question. Putting $900 on your credit card sucks. Asking your employer to send you to sxsw = impossible<\/i>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Answer: As a woman, we should get paid to party, network and be hosted. I wrote 5 genius blog posts during my gender reversal entrepreneurship exercises, so I know.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Answer: we should take the sxsw party invites we get and ARBITRAGE.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Huh!?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
To self fund a trip to SXSW, you’re going to need to scrapbook a couple dozen details and emailing me a lot for clarification.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Here’s the scrapbook you can buy 35% off list at Amazon You will need to take real world notes.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Arbitrage is a class at Stanford Mall’s PF Chang \u00a0called #cs183a. We buy stuff for low ONLY AFTER WE SELL IT FOR HIGH. Arbitrage is about the order of street-smart-business. Arbitrage is having to paste-copy a paypal button [*i just taught u how to code*]<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What. We. Are. Arbitraging.<\/div>\n

#PopUpFranchise<\/a>\u00a0is where you keep 100% of the revenue. 100% of the profit.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Pre-scrapbook a couple dozen details right now<\/span><\/div>\n
(While you wait for that\u00a0scrapbook to get shipped to you)<\/span><\/div>\n
– arbitrage a $1,500 list that you pay zero for.<\/div>\n
– take that list and sell it for $295-395 on Eventbrite<\/div>\n
– copy paste me the link for your successful eventbrite. And I’ll tweet it<\/div>\n
– Take that eventbrite party URL and apply #EUTWMPPM (this is where you Engineer Up a Tidal wave Of Momentum, Perpetual Promotion Machine)<\/div>\n
– so you EUTWMPPM up a wordpress blog post describing your sxsw party list<\/div>\n
– so you EUTWMPPM 12 sentences, 2 pictures & one focus<\/div>\n
– do one 28 second to 38 second YouTube video in landscape. Email that video to Lawrence Chiang at gmail.<\/div>\n
– draw this<\/span><\/div>\n

The product that we are selling is a SXSW party list VCs buy at an exorbitantly expensive price~$500. It makes us VCs happy to pay because it’s like an Altair basic<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
DRAW first. Ask why we succeeded later.<\/div>\n
