: It started in 2007. I was an engineering intern at Amazon my freshman :
: summer and I hated my life. :
: :
: I was 18 in Seattle without a fake-ID. All my friends were in California. :
: I sucked at my job. But, this coincided with the launch of the Facebook :
: Platform. :
: :
: Since I had nothing to do after work, I started by building out simple :
: applications that I thought were useful. Turns out, no one cared about :
: useful. :
: :
: After getting sick of building useful applications, I launched my first :
: ever personality quiz - How Good a Lover Are You? All of a sudden people :
: cared. To the tune of 300,000 people in a matter of weeks. :
: :
: I was hooked. I spent the next 3 years building Facebook applications and :
: built every kind of shitty, viral app under the sun including: :
: :
: * An assembly line of Cosmo-style personality quizzes from How Promiscuous :
: Are You to What Color is Your Aura? :
: * The first ever friend quiz applications where you get notifications like :
: "Your friend answered 'Is Ankur cute?' - click here to see what she said" :
: * An application creator that spawned over 10,000 gifting applications :
: including the esteemed Send Your Friends a Flaming Bag of Poop :
: :
: Since I operated largely as an independent entity, I had no concerns other :
: than growth. What can I do to get the most number of people in the :
: shortest amount of time? :
: :
: And it worked. I reached over 200 million people. You have almost :
: certainly used at least one of my applications. :
: :
: In this course, I share seven of my favorite hacks that I employed over :
: the course of those three years. They aren't necessarily the most :
: effective strategies.. mostly, just my favorites. :
: :
: Enjoy this class and if you have any questions, find me on Twitter. :
