I can tell you right now that even with social media, acquisition costs aren’t zero. Outside of getting an influencer to plug your product, Facebook ads are fairly costly. In the neighborhood of three new “likes” for a dollar. If you’re savvy you can turn a relatively small amount of input into a great output with various force multipliers, but what I think you’re seeing, Arianna, is the naivete endemic to Bubble 2.0. The same airheaded babble we heard in 1999 is resurfacing albeit with different terminology. Back then you just said the word “internet” and the need for a business plan disappeared. Now you say “social” or “gamification” or “cloud” or “mobile”.

[...] Yes you do. For the past four years, between college and living expenses I have lived off around poverty level. (That said – I’ve managed to live great!) I had all the money I needed to put a roof over my head, eat well, and take amazing trips. Travel is not as expensive as you would think. I have not bought a plane ticket to Europe (round trip) for over $800 ever. This last trip, I found a ticket to London for only $432 dollars. There are so many great deals out there – you just have to look a bit harder. And to get you started, here’s a post for you on how to find these tickets. [...]

I’m sorry things didn’t work out. I’ll keep my eyes peeled for a marketing position.
I’ll be back in Seattle on the Dec 19th through the end of January. Want to finally MIRL?
